Dentists aren’t all that bad
I’m writing this as the left side of my jaw is finally getting it’s feeling back after having a tooth removed this afternoon. I’l spare you the gory details of the procedure and how they had to pull the tooth out in bits. but I just want to remind people that yes there are needles involved, yes there can be drilling and all sorts of tools to pull your teeth out. HOWEVER. Thats will only be the case if, like me, you haven’t really looked after your teeth.
I’ve had a phobia/fear about going to the dentist and there was a 10 year period where I didn’t go, mainly due to a bad experience at a previous Dentist. However I was lucky enough to find a good surgery and the two Dentists I’ve had there have been amazing at re-assuring me and keeping me sane whilst I’ve had work done, including root canal work and now an extraction.
Whilst I know i’m to blame for the damage i’ve done so far to my teeth and that they will never be perfect, basically what I’m saying is, Dentists aren’t all that bad, get yourself a bit of trust in a professional and get regular appointments other wise you’ll end up with a big hole in you gum and a list of things you can’t do for ages:
No Alcohol
No Smoking
No really hot food or drinks
No really cold food or drinks
No hard food etc etc
