I have been to the dentist over ten times in the last five months. Fuck. I drank some ice water and there it was. Again.
Earlier today, I felt it. This odd little, slightly painful, sensation in my tooth. The lower back molar, which has been stripped away, and deeply traumatized from my countless dentist appointments.
oh please no. I can’t stand it
A cavity that has slowly caved in, with the help of various men. Why do they keep numbing me and numbing me and failing?
Suddenly, I am worried something has gone wrong again. Or maybe it is just my nerves.
By nerves, I mean in my tooth. After being shaved down the nerves are much more sensitive, especially with temperatures. But now, I’ve been trying to enjoy the chocolate bunny my grandmother sent me for easter. I am feeling pain. I think it must be because I ate some chewy gummies. Maybe the crown is loose. Or maybe I am chewing to hard. Or maybe my bite is uneven. I have avoided using the right side of my mouth for so long, out of fear I would swallow the man made molar again. Let me just say it was no fun trying to find.
I’m not sure there is anything actually wrong. I will probably be fine. just have to avoid any super cold drinks unless I am looking for a little shock. I will be upset if my tooth continues to ache from trying to enjoy a snack. A little inconvenience that will slowly drive me insane
