In the dentists chair..how big it was would it be filling this time again? oh..no..with a little inspection of the cavity just a scraping...bit of polish and presto tooth enamel as bright as new as bright as newly buffed shoes began to look forward to a routine yearly trips to a familar vinyl seat office on Bernard St...remember the aqaurium in the foyer in that dentist's chair..instuments hanging nearby found out that I had a gradual overbite.. nothing serious.......just been clenching teeth had transferred tension into my bite had some difficulty to sleep at night... a filling here and soon another there then no others were needed...not fair but the tooth enamel would still be polished as bright as a spiffy pair of school shoes. It almost felt routine to have teeth cleaned guess I had learnt what it was to be weaned. |

wincing and smiling--how could ya know? Popping in here with my daily toothache (I am still not over the trauma of those visits) Nope. Still won't go. (And rumor has it they will give me drugs, and I STILL won't go.  That should tell ya somethin'!  )Thanks for making this big baby smile. (and I used to like the "diamond rings", but I had a bad trip on the laughing gas once, and still won't breathe that stuff...) sigh. I DO go on and on, don't I? |

lol ..I had to go lastweek, the week before that, and next week, too. *sigh* I seem to clench my teeth, too. Now I've got some weird uncomfortable glob of plastic rubbery stuff that I have to wear day and night. ohhh life is good! *shudders* now don't remind me of the place, again! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Serenity, yes you do..but it's neat to read your experiences...it reminds me of the tales the dentist used to tell...or rather his idea was to get me talking in between  ...[This message has been edited by ecrivan (05-26-2003 11:05 PM).] |

Hey Alyssa I have yet to do something really major...maybe the overbite has been a blessing in desguise saving wear and tear on the crowns..anywho lets enjoy what we've got until the time comes for a pull here and there |

The one good thing about getting older is you very rarely get cavities, gotta love that part. I knew this fear so well, and you sure know how to write about it, enjoyed. |
