I think, having had toothache for three and a half weeks, I am actually going to have to see the dentist. D:

I think dentists are odd scary people and I am not sure what it can be that drives a person to be a dentist other than the desire to cause fear, pain and distress. At least I am helping someone achieve that ambition. I will try and get an appointment tomorrow. I am anxious that as I have left it so long there will be an infection and anaesthesia withh therefore not work, or that he will decide the tooth has to come out - and I am borderline phobic about the hole left in the mouth when a tooth is extracted. I can't stop from probing it, but am filled with nausea everytime my tongue gets near.... yuk.

On an unrelated note I woke up last night, to find myself in the action of pouring my bedtime drink onto the floor. And I don't mean I knocked the glass, or that I attemptd to take a drink and spilled - I had, in my sleep, physically lifted the drink and was actively emptying it onto the floor. WTF?

~~~

One of my offenders attended today, very very drunk, - armed with two big dogs he told me were for protection - and proceeded to spend half hour losing his temper and geting very angry with me. No one was nearby, I couldn't find my alarm (not that I actually needed it, but just in case..) and I was aware that these two dogs could at any time decide that if Daddy didn't like me they didn't either. Not nice. It was an abject lesson in the effect of alcohol, 'cos this man is normally a sweetheart, so polite and considerate and yet today I was genuinely frightened of him. brrr.

If it's any comfort, as a kid I left a nagging tooth for way, way longer than three weeks and I didn't lose it. They're not keen to extract teeth unless they really have to anyway because of the effect it has on the tooth above or below. Much more likely just to be a cavity that wants filling. But yes. Good luck.

I went, but they couldn't fit me in.. andI've had minimal pain all day!

Hopefullythe shock of me walking voluntarily into the surgery will have scared my teeth into behaving in future, but I have planned to go in on Monday,so we'll see!

You are not allowed to attack your dentist. I just think someone should say so. You might put them off dentistry forever and people need teeth, Lola. When I had horrible terrible tooth ache for about three weeks and couldn't properly open my mouth or chew it was just a gum infection and they gave me antibiotics and it cleared up without them doing anythign to my teeth at all. I am hoping for gum disease for you. Sorry if that's awful of me, it seemed qutie kind at the time.

I love that your sleeping self desperately wanted to be rid of the bedtime drink. Maybe it was poisoned and your subconscious knew it. Probably that is true.

I cannot believe your job. DUDE. I do think probably everyone should be better at being near you when you are with AWFUL WORRYING PEOPLE. Wow.

I have only ever hit my dentist once - and I feel it is a coincidence that he left the surgery shortly thereafter!

I didn't actually see my dentist in the end, cos he was unavailable today and I won't see anyone else! The shock of nearly going seems to have scared away the toothache though - as today has been relatively pain free. Hurrah. I have booked in for Monday though, so I shall see how it goes and decide then...
