Find a happy place
When I was younger, I had a gap between my two front teeth.. I wanted braces so bad that I asked for them one year for Christmas. My mom took me to the dentist so that he could evaluate the possibility of me getting braces, he stuck two of his hotdog size fingers in my mouth, felt around, got out his little mini mirror, then asked me where I put my tongue when I sleep… who the hell knows that?? I am sleeping.. dumb ass ...I am unsure as to the exact position that my tongue is in..
He went out into the lobby and informed my mother that I could not have braces because I push on the back side of my front teeth with my tongue.. Also that the gap may close together when my wisdom teeth come in.. I remember sitting in that dentist chair thinking I don’t have buck teeth you ass hole.. I have a gap… Where did they find this guy? And trying not to cry as my dreams for straight teeth were taken away.
My wisdom teeth came in .. and fuck you Mr. dentist,!! it hurt like crazy .. had oral surgery to remove the wisdom teeth and the gap never closed.
10 years later, When I became a grown up. Had my own dental insurance, and could choose a dentist that I wanted to go to, I got the gap fixed.. no braces just had the veneers.. quick and easy that is my motto
The same dentist that fixed the gap in my teeth also filled a few cavities that I had … both abscessed. I never went back
After four years of hiding I decided to put on my big girl pants and see the dentist.. I have to set an example for the kids ya’ know !!
I had the standard x-rays.. yep those still suck !! Then holly god the cleaning …
This dentist used an ultrasonic vibrating thing that shoots out ice cold water… Dear god in heaven.. It was the absolute worst cleaning that I have ever had.. FUCK !! After 40 minutes of cleaning it was announced that I was done and that I had been a good patient and I could pick a treasure out of the toy chest. After I picked out my ruby ring, the dentist came in and examined my x-rays, informed me that I had no cavities and that my teeth look great!
The moral of this story …. It is perfectly ok to wait 5 years in between dentist visits.. I am living proof !!

Ah the dentist. There's the day that you drop off your bridge for a relining, and you go back in a couple of days. Too bad a spare costs so much.
I had a huge gap between my teeth, too. They opted for surgery to fix it when I was 14. It sucked.

I don't think you're supposed to use that ultrasonic vibrating water device in your mouth. Just a little helpful hint.
I went for quite a while when I didn't have health insurance after college. and lived to tell about it.
I need to get to the dentist soon. It has been, um, like three years? I haven't had health insurance...
I too hate the dentist. I don't people touching my teeth.
