At the risk of sounding ridiculous, I am so proud of myself. Today I went to the dentist to get a filling replaced, and I DIDN'T CRY! I was shaking afterwards but I did it. Go me.
I have been engaged in saving a molar I don’t want to lose and found an ondodontist who does painless root canals - all three! Most impressed. He’s also one of the most time and motion savvy practitioners I have ever encountered, everything done with maximum efficiency. I get so intrigued I forget about any unpleasantness! A good medical practitioner is an excellent thing.
