It has been since '99. Not proud of it, just the way it is. But.....just thinking about what you were going through made me clench up. Ugh. I heard (never can remember where) that dentist's have a high suicide rate. I guess, maybe, I should not talk and think so bad about them. Poor guys. Have a great week. I have you beat too.

I think I'll be making my appointment tomorrow!!! I'm usually pretty good about keeping up with that, but moving always messes me up. It’s been a year since I’ve been to the dentist.

When I went to get a cleaning and 3 or four cavities filled I was IV sedated! I loved that a lot! Now whenever I need to go that's what I do!

I had to have a "build-up" done one time for a crown. They offered me valium, but when they said I would be numb I refused it.....about two hours later when he was still hammering away at my lower jaw...at least that's how it felt...I would have killed for any kind of drug!! Glad to see you back. I love it…as I equally hate going to the dentist. I had to have a “build-up” done one time for a crown.

I always get a sore jaw and headache after they clean my teeth but the medicine helps a lot. Also, ask them for the gentlest person to clean them, there can be a lot of difference between two people. So I guess you don't remember calling me yesterday and telling you were going to send me that check for my "buy Michelle a Lexus fund" HUH? Blessings!

I have you beat in the years since I've seen a dentist ... I think I'm going on 15 years! As you know, I had an uncle who was a dentist and told me not to have regular cleanings as they just scrap away good enamel. Whether he was right or just wanted to close his practice two and a half days a week so he could fish or bird hunt, I don't know. On the other hand, his theory tends to fall flat in a case like yours. I'm glad you have it behind you and I can think of times I'd love to have some of those pills! I did miss your blogging this week, though. First of all, you’re my dental hero! I have you beat in the years since I’ve seen a dentist … I think I’m going on 15 years!
