The pain, the agony

Okay, it's not really that bad. I am only hurting a little bit. I went to the dentist today. I have had a pain trying to just get in, as the appt kept getting screwed up. But I was seen today. I love that dentist's office. I love Dr Roberts, love the staff, love the way I am cared for while I am in that chair, love way they don't make you wait forever every time you walk in.

I had a cleaning and a filling. The filling was a bit more than previously expected, but it's done. I am numb and sore. But I had rather be numb for a day, than feel any of it. Grr I hate those shots.

I got a clean bill of health. He said my teeth are very clean, and I have good oral hygiene. (I should! I brush morning and night, and I floss and use mouthwash every night.) Once again, I was told I could leave me permanent retainers in however long I wanted. I love hearing that. I had braces three freaking times, so I love hearing that those two little tiny wires are doing their job. And I was told, I have beautifully white teeth. *grins* I have been blessed with pretty teeth, and I work hard to keep them that way.

Most people hate going to the dentist. I don't. With as much work as I put into my teeth, I love hearing it is paying off. *Big smile*
