Story time: It has been awhile since I have been to the dentist. I kept putting it off and putting it off... well, last night I was chewing on a candy cane and felt a pain in the top back teeth. I've been having issues with that back tooth, but again, hadn't gotten to it. (I think I lost a filling or something) Anyway, the hole that the missing filling left, it broke off on the inside.
What had been a bother before (hole in my tooth) quickly became a painful problem. Since I was not established with a dentist, I "got" to call around and see who could see me urgently. Luckily, I got in with a wonderful group right up the road from my house.
Not so luckily, they weren't able to do anything but grind down the rough edge and get me set up with an oral surgeon to remove the tooth. Thankfully, they were able to get me in for this Monday. With my anxiety, this weekend might feel endless, but at least it is scheduled.
Now all I need to figure out is how I am going to pay for oral surgery and Christmas. I'm sure we will figure it out somehow, but I hate that things like this always seem to happen at the worst times...
Needless to say, I am getting my teeth cleaned after the new year and will be keeping up with regular dental visits from now on. Even the kiddos are going to this new dentist (I like them that much!)
