More nervous than I have been in a long time...

I'm actually really nervous right now. Of course I'm not really helping anything by being nervous, and I am fully aware of that. What am I so nervous about? The dentist. I've always hated going to the dentist. I am going tomorrow. Why is that such a big deal? Well, it's been a long time since I went to the dentist. I'm actually not even

hey, i hear ya! i have sensitive gums so i bleed when i brush, when i get my teeth cleaned, etc etc! i brush and floss, but at my last appointment i was in bad shape cos i was so busy with the baby i neglected my self big time. now that she's older i floss and remember to brush.

don't be nervous, i'm sure it's probably just sensitivity or something. good luck!

No, in this case, I'm pretty sure it is actually gum disease. There are a couple of spots that are receding. That can't be good.

I really didn't take care of myself for a while. I'm in a better place now, and know that I have to do better, and will. One nice thing is that Amy is a very good person. She makes me want to do better, and doesn't nag or anything like that. She's pretty fucking great.

It doesn't matter what the problem is, waiting longer won't help no matter what.

Of course I don't ACTUALLY know anything at this point. Tomorrow is just an exam/x-rays. I'm going to do the sedation thing when I actually let them do the cleaning, and whatever else they have to do.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to be nervous no matter what, so I'm just going.
