Dentist

     ...Are extremely terrifying.

I don't think I've ever mentioned the fact that, due to my financial condition, I don't have my normal dentist check ups every half year like dentists recommend. In fact, the last time I saw a dentist was a time I can't remember: that long.

At first going to the dentist isn't that bad, until you are sitting in the office waiting. The sound of drills buzzing in the background, and then moments later followed by children crying. Then I start to imagine things like...What if...They have to use the drill on my teeth O: I would cry in fear.

In the end I went through the dentist appointment fine today. There were awkward moments when the dentist asked me questions while I couldn't speak. Oh! I also found out I have a severe gum infection that insurance doesn't cover to treat. Now isn't that a lovely goodbye present from the dentist office (speaking sarcastically of course). This is quote on quote what he said: " Your teeth seem to be very healthy and there are no cavities, but looking at your X-rays you have a severe gum infection going on and it causes eroding of your bones. There is a chance you might loose all your teeth at a young age, and we don't want that to happen do we? But insurance doesn't cover that...So I will have to charge you $300."
