I haven't posted on here in a while, but i honestly did not have all that much to say except for how bad my anxiety has been for the past month i've been waiting for my first ever dental appointment.. until finally, doomsday arrived. And to be completely honest with you? I am not nearly as devastated or as panicked as i thought i would be after i learned what i am going to need done. ( which is a lot, i have three very sus teeth that will probably need root canals, a few fillings, two extractions and a tartar removal which i will start this morning. Honestly did not think i would have it in me to book an appointment for a cleaning the day after my first visit, good job me. )
About the dentist, she was a very nice lady! But she was also brutally honest about the state of my mouth when she examined it which i wasn't even that upset about because i knew it was coming.. i just felt very embarassed i guess. What i didn't expect was the calm i felt afterwards, i couldn't tell if it was defeat or acceptance but all i can say is that i definitely needed that reality check. They took xrays ( very annoying, my god. I hated having those huge pieces of plastic in my mouth. ) and explained my situation in depth. The prices are high as expected but we will be able to pay it all as we go.. and my dentist told me we will go slow so that i can begin getting familiar with everything.
Also, the receptionists kept complimenting my make up which really flattered me and made me feel less disgusting about my situation. Yay!
