Teeth!!

I'm really scared of the dentist and have been pretty much most of my life.

Twice in the last couple of weeks while eating (nothing crunchy - it's been soft ish food) I've heard a crack in my mouth in the same place around the same teeth. No pain or anything like that. But I've heard a crack.

Im going to have to go and get checked out aren't I 😭 just incase there's a crack in one of the teeth. I'm a private patient so it won't be cheap and in between a house move and sodding Christmas I cannot afford the extra expense.

Yep, you’re just going to have to just go, before it gets worse and costs you even more.

Just go ASAP. If you leave it half the tooth might come off. They may not even need to do an injection and that's the only part of dental treatment that actually hurts (for a second). The rest is just vibration and pressure.

I was really scared but finally went after many years and now I'm so happy I had my teeth fixed. Please don't worry, it'll be so worth it!

Im going to call in the morning and see if they can see me at the end of the day. They're pretty good seeing you quickly.

I feel anxious now already. My dentists specialise in nervous patients so they know what I am like 😬
They don't even inject with a needle they have a special device that numbs without the dreaded needle. Thats my fear I hate my mouth being numbed.

I had to have a filling replaced a few months back in a front tooth and because I'm so scared of the numbing he did it without numbing my mouth.
