also... the tooth they filled just started getting sensitive again so idk. she said it might not work to fill the cavity so... i might have to get it done again. i assume next is root canal and i really don't think i can do that...

oh ps fun story once my old densist was gonna crown a teeth (not b/c cavity) and they started numbing the wrong one and i had to remind them it was the other side. they were like "are you sure?" and i said yes n they checked and were like "oh ya ok"

i had like two cavities when i was 16 and had a hard time with that mentally bc i thought that i was the worst and awful for allowing myself to get a cavity but like... a lot of people get cavities. oh man but the dentist who was filling them i guess forgot how the numbing stuff works bc she injected it and didnt want til i was numb and just started drilling and asked me to like raise my hand or something if it hurt so i raised my hand a bunch and she put more and more in and then FINALLY she left to let it sit and finished up but now my jaw was like suuuuuper numb and it felt really weird.
the first part is me totally, i had my first cavity like a month ago and i just cried the entire way home. it was also my first experience w/ a new dentist/place... my old place always said i did good taking care of teeth. this dentist was good w/ numbing but then after she gave me the whole speel about taking care of my teeth and i said i did that all and she just looked at me like she thought i was lying... and then i was like afraid to eat for the next week cause i was like "it's just gonna ruin my teeth, what's the point..."i had like two cavities when i was 16 and had a hard time with that mentally bc i thought that i was the worst and awful for allowing myself to get a cavity but like... a lot of people get cavities. oh man but the dentist who was filling them i guess forgot how the numbing stuff works bc she injected it and didnt want til i was numb and just started drilling and asked me to like raise my hand or something if it hurt so i raised my hand a bunch and she put more and more in and then FINALLY she left to let it sit and finished up but now my jaw was like suuuuuper numb and it felt really weird.
