teeth update

[supercheesegirl]

Why do I have to have teeth, anyway? I can live on soup and jello. Really.

Root canal = scheduled for Wednesday

I never realized before just how terrified I am of dental work. I couldn't stop shaking while he was drilling. I really don't need this.

One good thing about all this teeth stuff: there's a vicodin prescription in my purse. You better believe that bitch is getting filled tonight.

Drag sleepyworm to crush his hand while they're working on you next time ?

When I went in I was so terrified, nchanter came and stayed with me till I went in for the root canal, which rocked.

But it ended up being... so much better than the pain I was in. You really do want to do this.

It just seems wrong to pay hundreds of dollars to have someone drill teeth that aren't causing me any pain. I'm sure I'll be happy I did it somewhere down the line, but somewhere down the line this will also be a vague memory. I'm so unhappy right now. Thanks for understanding...

Oog. I'm somewhere between a blase sort of jaded because I've had so much dental work and a crawl up the wall in wild-eyed terror at the thought of the sound of the drill...again, because I've had so much work done.

Either way, you have my sympathy. You know how people have anxiety dreams about, say, showing up to work naked? I used to have recurring anxiety dreams about my teeth falling out or undoing all the work--oh yeah, dentists make me anxious. I have known some perfectly strong, can-take-on-an-army-by-herself kinds of women who only get scared of the dentist, so I'd say you're in good company.

I keep wondering what on earth would make a person want to be a dentist. I guess it's the same sort of thing as becoming a doctor--wanting to help people, blahblah--but people just don't hate doctors the way they hate dentists. And what kind of special person does it take to become a dentist with a root canal specialty? I guess I'll find out on Wednesday...

i read somewhere that dentists have one of the highest suicide rates in the country...and who can blame them? (sorry, bad joke).

anyway mad props to you for sitting through your denal work, and you have inspired me to start flossing again, and this time i will stick with it!

take care! good luck!
