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 am all for keeping one’s teeth! The cost of plates or implants is significant, gaps are unsightly and often impact other teeth. While I have always attended a dentist, as you get older so do your teeth! But life can throw enough curlies at you without dental problems you may be able to avoid. Very happy to pass on details, I’ll send a PM.
