Yep--- it is time... this tooth is on its last leg! This will be the third time that it has been repaired. I drove to UB today because I have a toothache.
I am afraid of the dentist. I have been for a long time. Every time that I go, they say nothing but bad things.... I don't think I have ever had an appointment where they say, "Wow your teeth look great! See you in six months..." (Like they always do to my darling husband.) Oh no, first they tell me how bad my teeth look and accuse me of drinking pots of coffee everyday (I drink one cup.) Then they go on to tell me how I brush too hard and my gums are in danger.
After maneuvering the giant x-ray machine around my head and warning me to stay very still while the razor shape x-ray paper thing slices into my gums , they come back shaking their head and tell me to clear my calendar and prepare myself for very EXTENSIVE work and a huge expense. I nearly start to cry, then I tell myself that I am an adult and walk sadly to make 12 appointments so that the torture can continue.
When I come back for my "extensive work" they drill until they reach my toes. While they do this I am as stiff as a board, clutching the chair for dear life, praying that the Novocaine doesn't wear off. I am sweating and cold at the same time.... I TRULY HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST!!! (sorry to all you dentists out there!)
I can honestly say I would rather check into the hospital to have a baby, then go to the dentist!!! This is my first time to the dentist here so that compounds my fear....
So pray for me if you think of it... I will really appreciate it.

Oh, I am so sorry, B! I will definitely be praying for your safety and comfort. I also pray that you will have the peace that passes all understanding. Ok, so I know this is not necissarily a spiritual battle, but I do hope and pray that you will not be afraid and that you will have a positive experience. When will your procedure begin?
