Teeth

[sweetsept]

So I've been having reoccurring dreams about my teeth falling out. I keep trying to hold my hand over my mouth to keep them in place or trying to figure out how to put them back, but they still fall out just the same. Like almost every other night, I'm having this dream and I wake up in a panic. Assuming it was just "pregnancy brain" taking over

The dream about teeth falling out is the only dream I've ever had that I really felt meant something or was caused by something actually going on in my life. I used to dream my teeth were falling out when I had health issues as well as with financial stress. It's really interesting to see how much our dreams can be affected by our lives. Kinda sucks, though. It would be nice if I could STOP worrying when I'm sleeping!

Right? No wonder I still feel so sleepy when I get up... my brain never stops worrying.

My dreams are usually pretty random, sometimes plain ridiculous. But this one has just been reocurring so it stood out.

Always had this dream, but way more so when I was pregnant.
Ironically I have 5-7 cavities now =/

I never had it till I got pregnant. There's no telling how many cavities I have right now... I have a severe fear of dentists... like insanely afraid of them. Can't stand the drills, needles, anything. Makes me shudder to think about it. My sister went all O_____O when I told her I'd rather go for a pap than a filling.

So even though I have medicare right now, I can't bring myself to go. Before baby, at least I had the exscuse of not being able to afford it. Now I don't have one :\

I feel kinda bad because supposedly pregnancy can wreak havoc on your teeth, especially when you've had morning sickness (which I certainly had my fair share!)
