La dentiste (or hopwever you say it in French...)
Hi! *WAVES*
Well, all I can say is, I don't know why I was so worried about the dentists yesterday...
Well, tell a lie, I DO (I've been worried for ages about the condition of my teeth and I thought that the one filling I have ever had in my life had been chipped or something), but I was worried about what he was going to say.
Thankfully, I got in for my appointment straight on time (waiting rooms just eek me out) and the dentist is really, really nice.
He told me that I have very strong, healthy teeth (yaay) and that there is nothing wrong with them at all. He also said that whilst people have to go in every six months for a check up, I will only have to go in every couple of years because my teeth are so healthy! ^_^ Seriously, I don't know how that is because I've been worried for a few months now that they were in such bad condition and that I'd be wearing dentures by the time I was 20! o_0
I did tell him that I wanted a straighter smile, though...I have quite a small mouth so my teeth are really, really crowded in there and I have a tooth which has settled itself down behind all the others at the bottom, which I have had since I was about 9 and really, my smile is the one thing that I am really self concious about. I rarely ever smile and show my teeth - I have a kinda closed mouth smile which sometimes looks like I'm sucking on a lemon and sometimes looks like I'm going to barf over the person that I'm smiling at. I want Britney Spears teeth. ^_^ The teeth, in restrospect, don't look that bad - I mean, I do look after them and they are really white and everything, but I just really want to have a lovely, even, straight smile.
It really also doesn't help when you're as scared of dentists as I am - I mean, like I said yesterday, when I went in for my first ever filling (which was last year), I was so, so nervous that I was trying not to have a nervous coughing fit (always happens when I'm really anxious or scared about something - my throat just closes up) and when I sat down in the dentists chair, my legs were like jelly and the whole length of them were shaking really, really bad.
Also, (sorry to go on a moaning rampage here, folks) since I was born prematurely (I think I was born 6 weeks prematurely), I can't ever be put under general anaesthetic. 0_0 Local anaesthesia is fine (where they inject that freezing stuff into your gum), but I can't ever have gas or anything. It's because, since I was born prematurely, my lungs have never fully developed - it's not as bad as it sounds, it's no like they're deformed or anything, it's just that they're a bit smaller than they should be. Whether this means that if I ever have to have an operation on any other part of my body (I hope not), that I won't be able to have the general anaesthetic then, I have no idea. Brrrrr. o_0
Okay, well, I've officially freaked myself out about dentists even more now, so I'll just shut up and go and browse my Friends page now.
Catch ya later (hopefully with some more icons in the next update)!!! ^_^
