Before the appointment I was really nervous and could feel it in my stomach. I was worried that the cleaning would damage my front teeth fillings. Mostly since the one that was the most chipped could only be partially rebuilt when they did them in February. I thought that one would be the easiest for something to damage it. (Then again I got nervous every time the dentist or hygienist touched it for the 7 years that the other dentist had ignored it.)
The hygienist was the one who assisted the dentist for my fillings, so she knew from before that I got anxious. What I was most-nervous about was when she went to scale around the fillings I had down in my bottom front teeth, but nothing chipped off. She also used this weird thing that looked like a drill, and brushed against my teeth. It felt like it had water spraying out of it though, but my old dentist had never used anything like it before.
The hygienist made jokes to help me not feel as anxious. Then she did the usual brushing and the dentist checked my teeth. No cavities and my fillings still looked good.
I can definitely say I really like this dentist office and how they treat their patients like family. I'm just hoping I don't have to have any fillings like the five I had in February.
Thanks again for all of your advice everyone.
