I know I said a few weeks ago, I was going to gain up the courage to go to the dentist and book an appointment. Well I didnt Its so easy to make excuses when the kids are home and distract yourself with many other things. But Iv got a large abscess in my gum above one of my broken teeth. And its at the point now, where I am desperate to go. I haven't been feeling so well -lack of energy-loss of appetite and Im sure its all connected to this abscess.
I did something extraordinary today. I told my other half I needed to see the dentist because of the abscess. Thats a big thing for me. To mention anything about teeth, I normally ignore the conversation and try and change it. But I am definitely booking the appointment tomorrow.
The thing im worried about is not the pain-or the instruments. Its the actual embarrassment of telling them how horrible and bad shape my teeth are, and them looking back at me like im a bit simple. I am absolutely petrified and so scared but also a tiny bit excited. I know that sounds daft. Im excited because I am finally getting the help I have needed for such a long time. Excited because this is the start of getting back my life! Wish me luck. I will also check in here tomorrow night and up date on whats happened.
