No, Not the Dentist

But yes, it is the dentist. I had a dental appointment today and it made me so nervous. Not like it's anything new to me, I've had more than enough dental work. It seems like I can do absolutely nothing and my fillings fall out. This time I have an abscess at the roots of two teeth and they both must come out. I have my prescriptions for my antibiotics and must wait to get an okay from my doctor before I get any work done. Cross your fingers that I don't get a heart attack from nervousness. I wish they would put me to sleep, but I know he wont.

I had a filling done last year and within a few months it fell out. I haven't been back to fix it as I don't have the money.

I have several fillings out too. I'll get those taken care of after the extractions. I don't mind fillings so bad.

Why can the dentist use "the laughing gaz"?

I have never heard of him using anything more than a deadening agent. I will certainly ask him a bout it.

Thank you Alfredo, I know that's true, but it doesn't get through to my brain.

@rubyhawk you poor thing. I used to be plagued with abscesses. Dreadful old things. I wish you well. Antibiotics should take care of the infection.

I'm looking forward to getting the whole thing over with. Yes the antibiotics and getting the teeth out should clear it up.

sorry you have to deal with the dentist again. There is nothing worse when you are afraid of being there.

I'll live through it, I will only be terrified while I'm in the dentist chair.
