I'm dying....

I went to the dentist today.  I guess I have two cavities.  Apparently the seal that was put on my teeth when I was a kid (because of my super groovy teeth – groovy in the sense that it’s not cool…) has worn off.  He said I was ‘lucky’ to catch them as small as I did.

 

Lucky?

 

I don’t think the word lucky and cavity are supposed to be in the same sentence.  I’m petrified.  I haven’t had a cavity since I was super little.  We are talking like first grade or something.  I mean, I take good care of my teeth. Seriously, the dude even complimented me on it. 

 

So now my teeth hurt.  Why?  Because I’m a hypochondriac and am now convinced my teeth will fall out at any given moment.  How could I think I want braces?  I mean, I can’t even handle a tooth cleaning without freaking out!

 

I do want braces though.  I want a pretty smile and I suppose if I have to freak out and deal with my teeth hurting then so be it.  I’ll do whatever it takes.

 

My teeth hurt.

Ouch...don't worry. The big shot they give you will ensure you won't feel a thing!

They say 30% of all new braces patients are adults. Amazing, huh?
