I went to the dentist today. I might have a cracked tooth. The dentist said it was probably a hair line crack. He thought he could see it, but it didn’t show up on an xray. Apparently there is nothing that can be done until it gets worse. Huh? Who knew? This is new to me. I don’t remember ever having a bad dentist experience and I don’t feel anxious about going, but the whole time they are working in my mouth, my entire body is tense – especially clenched fists. I’d notice it and tell myself to relax and then a minute later it’s back. The bill hurts far more than anything they physically do. I’ve had two knee surgeries and sinus surgery without being able to take pain meds after. Why does a dental cleaning make my body act like it’s terrified? Is it the collective fear that most people have of the dentist? Did something bad happen that I don’t remember?
