I am 44 years old and I’ve got a freakin cavity. ( No. Not between my ears, Dad.) I have one in my mouth and it is starting to hurt. I have called my dentist and after much searching for my chart and determining that they have never heard of me because it has been OVER SEVEN YEARS since I was last in, I made an appointment. I am a bad, bad patient. I can’t believe it has been that long since I was to the dentist. My kids records were there and up to date. Even John’s was current. Well, to be totally fair, his was current because he had to go have a root canal because he didn’t go in when his cavity first started hurting. Boy, I am! I am THERE, BABY! No siree, no root canal for me! Just fill that bad boy!
Yes. I am all a dither with excitement. Next week, Wednesday to be exact. I am getting drilled. And not in a good way.

Ugh…I have one that needs pulling, it’s been so long since I was last there. It is my biggest fear…I HATE THE DENTIST.
I hear they have sedation dentistry now, where they put you to sleep and work until it’s all done, but it’s mucho bucks, so not in my immediate future. So for now, I’m ignoring this hole in my mouth.
Good luck to you!

I am weird in that I really don’t have a problem with dentists. Possibly, I am the only person I know who doesn’t. I guess cause I worked with one as a receptionist when I was in high school. I used to go in and watch him work on people when it was slow in the office.
Girl, I am telling you, don’t put off going! I know, right? Who am I to say that when it has been so long since I went in. But I watched my chicken husband wait until he had to have a root canal and then he had to go back and have it pulled anyway because it had gone on so long the root canal didn’t work.
Go to the dentist! Tell them some crazy, shit wielding, blogger woman sent you. I’ll think of you Wednesday!
