Ok... I'll admit it, I put off going to the dentist myself as long as I can. I make sure I get my kids in regularly, but me... I'm doing good to get in once a year. I had a lot of dental work done as a kid/adolescent, then I had braces as a teen, and as an adult I've had to deal with some problems that were the result of the orthodontia, so yeah, I try to avoid going.

But I PROMISE! I was just about to make an appointment for a check up over Spring Break next month. I guess someone thought they'd speed things up and make SURE I get to the dentist. I popped a cough drop in my mouth on the way to work this morning, and within less than a minute one of my teeth started feeling really weird. When I got to work, I looked in the mirror and there was a white spot at the base of my tooth, so I tried to rub it off.... it was a huge chunk of my tooth! Holy COW! And yes I freaked out a bit, I've never had something like this happen, at least not without a plausible explanation. So to cut to the chase... I am going to the Dentist first thing Monday morning (that's the soonest they could get me in), in the meantime, better stay away from the sweets, and cold/hot extremes for my poor little sensitive toothy.


I am currently O.K.
