Beautiful Teeth!

(WOW! Two enteries in one week... haven't done this in awhile!!)

So, I went to the dentist today for my teeth grinding problem.

And, I must say that it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it would be.

For those of you who know me well, I do NOT do well with medical things (shots, blood, surgery, etc), so I, of course, was anticipating the worst today. I was thinking he'd get the big, scary needle to numb me up. But, when I arrived he said that he thought it would be less painful to grind down the teeth without putting me through the pain of the needle. I thought, "What are you smoking?? You're going to GRIND my teeth and this isn't going to hurt?!?!?!"

But, it really didn't... just some minor discomfort. Apparently my top teeth were hitting against my bottom teeth and were causing fractures (aka chips) to my teeth... making some of them jagged. One of my front teeth was even longer than the other. The shorter one was "abormally short" (as the dentist put it) because it's been wearing down for years. YIKES!!!

Anyway... so he did some grinding on the front top and bottom teeth and then he smoothed everything out. Then he sat me up and handed me a mirror... and WOW! My teeth are nice and smooth and straight on the top and bottom. It's really a noticeable difference... to me, at least. I wish I had taken before and after pictures! (LOL!! Only me would be wishing I had before and after photos...)

So, that was the excitement of my day!
