Wisdom teeth. It's the apparent cause of my toothache. Or so I believe. I still haven't been to the dentist yet. Stubborn as I am, I finally made an appointment and i'm scheduled for Monday. I hate that day. As of now, the dentist is still on my "hate list". I am dreading for Monday to come. I can already see the dentist holding the syringe with a sharp needle in it, getting ready to stick it in my gums...Ouch!
I really should stop imagining these things. It just makes me feel worse. As to why I don't like going to the dentist, I really don't know. I guess it started when my mother was telling me the story about my younger brother who had his decayed teeth pulled by a dentist in Iligan City. Apparently, the dentist didn't put enough anesthesia so when he started to extract my brother's teeth, he cried in so much pain. That actually happened about 3 or more years ago but for some reason, it stuck on my mind.
But right now, i'm willing to give it a shot, only because I can't take the pain anymore. Also, that would be a way for me to overcome my fear of going to the dentist. Who knows, after Monday, Dentists may not be on my "hate list" anymore.

i don't know if i have a fear in going to the dentist coz i've been going to the dentist almost every week last Nov. and Dec. but this Jan. I refuse to be scheduled every week coz i want to enjoy my day off with friends or just to have time for myself. i like to think that the dentist can make my teeth healthy but having a dental appointment is not a joke. and the syringe? that's the dentist's friend and your friend too. hehe though most of the times the anesthesia is not that strong, i just take the pain so the work will soon be done. as a result, my two dentists and their assistants said that i am a great patient. haha bisan sakit agwantahon basta aron mahuman dayon. wish you luck girl!
