Here we go again.
Between my mental health issues and my subsequent on/off interest in dental hygiene, I've fallen back into the trap.
After a few days of not being bothered if I did or didn't brush my teeth, my mood swung again and I went back to brushing thoroughly, flossing and using a gum focused mouthwash. Low and behold, metallically grey/black line from the gum line down, between two teeth where one is slightly further forward, trapping all the causes of such things. (I'd noticed some twinges from that region of my mouth a few times but, with the way the teeth are positioned I'm constantly 'stabbing' the gum with sharp bits of food so didn't think too much of it.)
Instant mood plummet, with panic attack, dry heaving and frantically Googling for tips. Wishful thinking and a toothpick hoping it was just a bit of food, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. It's currently 3:30 in the morning, I'm far too fidgety to sleep and just completely dreading having to make that phonecall again.
