My dental appointment is in two hours and I desperately want to cancel it.
I slept horribly. Got up for awhile and cuddled with Mads on the couch hoping that would calm my brain and let me fall asleep but it didn’t.
I have to do this. I have to do this. 😢

*hugs and the energy to get through it*
♥️ Thank you
@see_the_sus Hope the appointment goes well and easier than you expect. In a few hours this will be all over and think how happy you will be then!!!
Thanks 🥰 I told my family I wouldn’t be available today in anticipation of being in pain afterwards or at the very least needing to just be alone to breathe. My teeth and gums are in very bad shape and after being 3 1/2 years, I know there’s going to be a lot of work to do.
@see_the_sus I hope it went well.
Better than I had anticipated. No gum disease, no new cavities but one tooth that has a very old filling needs to be replaced buuut when they do that, the tooth will basically disintegrate and a crown has to be put on. Whiiiich is going to cost me, out-of-pocket, up in the $1,700 range so I won’t be doing that anytime soon.
@see_the_sus No gum disease and no cavities make for good news. Hope you can save up for the crown. I’m glad this part is over for you. Breathe!! And get some rest!
It is not the dentistry of old :)
I am always impressed with the high tech and how painless they have become when I visit my dentist.
I hope your experience is the same.
It’s not that.
I have a severe gag reflex which sometimes makes getting x-rays difficult. I’m also not always able to brush and/or floss because I’ll often start gagging & dry heaving.
It’s been 3 1/2yrs since my last visit, 1st two because of COVID and last year I was engulfed in having to move back home to help care for my mom. I know I’ve got at least 2 teeth that are in trouble and my gums are a mess.
Plus, the noises from the tools ratchets up my anxiety.
Well I hope this dentist has the skills to make it as easy as possible for you.
I get anxious too, and yes there is nothing like that drill sound, but I really appreciate my current dentist.
I hope yours works well with you.
@see_the_sus Yes, you do!
