Well, after over 10 years away from the dentist, years of self loathing and depression and more recently, months of putting off making that first phone call("I'll do it tomorrow, I swear!), I have an appointment on the 22nd.
Unfortunately the dentist the lady recommended was fully booked until end of November. I couldn't wait that long. Fingers crossed he's a nice guy, I plan on having a chat with him before he goes in my mouth. I like to think i'm a straight talking guy and will tell it how it is, they're bad teeth, I know this and don't need a lecture, just help.
I wasn't expecting to feel this relieved, but yeah, it feels strangely good, like the first day of a new life almost(i'm 26). My thinking is, If I feel this good now, how good will I feel when all the work is over and I can smile again?
I'm going into the appointment fully expecting the worst, then anything else is a bonus. I know I need my top two wisdoms out, I have an abscessed tooth which i'm terrified of getting worse as i've seen people I know's face bloat up like a balloon when that goes bad. My first molar on the left side has broken and causes a random horrible taste in my mouth and bad breath. One of my canines has a hole in it too which i'm scared of breaking off as well. This is what I know, i'm sure there will be more.
Just wanted to post this as a log for myself, and to thanks others on this great forum for giving me the courage to make the first step, and hopefully this can inspire another me out there to make that first appointment
