i will make no bones about it- i hate going to the dentist- to the average person I have great looking teeth- never needed braces etc. but I have a load of holes and inflamed gums which due to the contraction meds were made worse, and by them picking at my gums they bleed. and I go home in more pain. just let me have my inflamed gums will you and just fix the darn cavities.
nothing new for me. I have always had inflamed gums since I started my menses as a teen. and keeping my mouth open wide enough for this dentis t is irritating. it is even more work for me to hold my little mouth full of spasms open long enough for them to work then I pay the rest of my day with the rest of my body for the hour of frustration from the dentist. I wish I could tell her in gerrman matter of factly that i am doing the best I can with what I got. and I hate hearing the commentary every time- it is like them telling me I am not brushing my teeth when I am. grrr

Hi Gemma,
How are you feeling now. Any better? I hate going to the dentist also. But in all fairness I dont anyone who really likes going to the dentist. I hate the part where tell me I need to get my fillings re-done because they are cracking. I will cross that bridge when I get to it. How is your quilt coming along? Have you checked my jokes post out yet? I stole them from other moms on CoM. lol Well bye for now. {:+)
