Oh No!

To begin this post I must tell my readers that I have a real aversion to dentists. I have had two very bad experiences with dentists over the years. I am freaked to even think about going to a dentist now. I haven't been in probably ten to fifteen years. I'm serious. I won't step into a dentist's office. I did go crazy one year(about three or four years ago) and went to a dentist my daughter had seen and liked. I got an estimate and that was enough and all I could handle. I knew it was inevitable. I knew it was just a matter of time. But, yesterday and today I am having a toothache. I have five teeth and some remnants of ones left in my mouth. So now my lower mouth is numb because I had to put some Orajel in my mouth where the ache is. I know! I've heard it all before. I should have been better to my teeth. Taken better care. I come from a lineage that doesn't do the oral thing. My grandmother never brushed her teeth a day in her life. She held her teeth in her mouth with chewing gum. True! And my mother got her dentures when she was about 30 years old. I figure at 71(in four more days) why spend $9,000(last quote from the dentist)to get my teeth done? I will just go with the pain. I am being awfully truthful here. Bad news about my teeth. But, as long as the Orajel holds out, I will.
