I hate the dentist........

So I knew an old filling fell out and would need to be repaired but I also recently discovered a bad very, obvious cavity. I was afraid to get it repaired because it was near the gum line. So I was talking to someone at work and she suggested I go see her dentist. She hates the dentist as much if not more that I do, if that is possible.

I hate the dentist so much I would rather give birth again than go to the dentist. Yes, scary I know. One of the ways I relieve stress is cry. So here I am in the dentist chair so worked up because I LOATHE the dentist, I just started crying. It was SOOOOOO..... embarrassing.

Little did I know that was not the end of my embarrassment for the day.

So the dentist only had time to either repair my teeth or clean them. I opted for filling in the cavity. So he knows how much I hate the dentist and is really trying hard to just talk calmly as he walked through the whole process. As we get to the worse part I tell him I can still feel him working, like a little tingling.

He says, "Oh okay I can fix that right up."

I had no idea what that meant..............I had know idea I should have been afraid.

So now that I am nice and numb he continues to work it seemed like an hour but it was probably only about 10 minutes. He tells me some good things about my teeth, ways to better care for my teeth and tells me he will see me next time for my cleaning.

By this time I felt like the left side of face was melting off. I was so numb I could barely speak and I was talking out of the side of my mouth. The nurse told me not it worry it would wear off soon. Wear off soon I felt like it was still taking affect when I left. I get to work and now half of my left nostril is numb including the whole top of the left side of my mouth.

It was a horrible feeling because if my nose was running I wouldn't feel it, if I started talking too fast I would get daffy duck syndrome or just flat out spit on someone because I could not control the left side of my mouth. Mind you about 8:15 my mouth was numbed and the additional numbing med was added about 10 minutes later......I couldn't feel the inside of my mouth or my left nostril til sometime after 1pm.

Thankfully very few people were in today so I just had to make sure I didn't spit on my boss.

When I walked in the door to pick up Kaitlynn, Jackson and Madelynn they immediately wanted to know if the boo-boo on my teeth was gone. They were so excited to see it had disappeared.

They have no idea what I had been through...........

Have a great week.
