Yesterday, I went to see my dentist, again.. yes, again.. because I had to get a temporary crown for one of my tooth. I was feeling anxious and afraid.. I HATE having to go see a dentist.. but I just HAD to, because my tooth was aching and I was in pain!

Any of you guys afraid of going to the dentist? I've always had either cavities or something else wrong with my teeth as long as I could remember.

The first time was when I was in first grade. My classmates and I went to go see a dentist and they found 10 cavities.. I know that it's nothing to be boasting about.. but when I was little, I thought that having cavities was a good thing.. but found out later that it was NOT a good thing to have.

This time, it wasn't because of cavities but because my dentist thinks that I grind my teeth or clench my teeth when I go to sleep at night.. so that's why I have to get it.

Having to get this is such a pain..

so... while at the dental place.. I was preparing myself for the worse feeling ever.. it wasn't that bad.. but afterwards it felt horrible! My whole left side of my mouth and nose area were numb and my tooth was in pain.. my dentist said that it'll take 2-3 days for the pain to go away.. oh man.. the pain.. it hurt.. hurting so much.. but after seeing the dentist.. my little sis had ordered stuffed crust pepperoni and mushroom pizza and stuffed crust sausage and jalapeno peppers from Pizza Hut!

I had to eat on my right side.

I also had 2 pieces of chicken wings from Pizza Hut as well.. I ate very slowly, because my teeth were hurting! T^T
