So, my dad was awesome enough to add me back to his various insurances at the start of this year. I've been trying to take advantage of that fact, which led me to the dentist. You guys, I have not seen a dentist in eight years -- do not let this happen to you! I feel like I have been living at the dentist the last couple weeks

I hear you! I had my fourth appointment as a result of not seeing them for five years. I'm done....for now.

Ugggggh. I haven't been to a dentist in about ten years. I just went a while without insurance and now I'm horrified of what they'll say so I get too anxious to even make the appointment. I know when I finally do go I'm going to live there for a month and be in debt out my ears. Like, I am legitimately terrified that my teeth are going to crumble right out of my head and I'm STILL more afraid to go to the dentist and fix any of it.

I go to the dentist every 6 months (and have my whole life) but I still one time had to fill 8 cavities. (You'd think that would have convinced me to stop drinking so much soda.)

Have fun with the weird, numb feeling! And watch your tongue!

I made the mistake of not going for a while (and not taking proper care of my teeth) so I lived at the dentist from August 2010 to a couple months after. Yeah, that numbing stuff they gave me really worked well; I'd go to the dentist in the early afternoon and it'd sometimes take until bedtime for it to wear off completely.
