I've got a God awful toothache and it's killing me. I'm dying and in pain. The truth is, I could have avoided this months ago if I had gone to the dentist like I was supposed to but NO, fear took over as it always does and I avoided the appointment. I always do that. Keep putting it aside until it's too late and I'm in tears.
I've always had a terrifying fear of the dentist right from my childhood days. Every year since I was seven, my name will always be called up by the school teachers to go see the mobile dentist that makes annual visits to the government schools. Even in high school, it was the same thing no matter how much I want to escape but I just couldn't. And none of the dentist or their nurses were pleasant looking. So to a little guy, i guess it made everything scarier.
The worst part of it all was when they start drilling. The sound. The smell. And sometimes you can see specks of things flying out. I usually try to hold my breath or breathe thru my mouth to avoid smelling that sick smell. But it never helps.
Why oh why do we have cavities? It's not to say I have poor dental hygiene, in fact it's the opposite, I'm quite diligent when it's comes to oral hygiene except for the fact that I don't see the dentist every six months. Sigh..
