#Dentist phobia overcome but not defeated.....I did it.....i had my teeth whitened!!!!

Warning....this contains items that some people may find distressing

I have had a phobia of dentists for as long as I can remember...obviously it is something I have had to address on many occasions so as i could keep my teeth in a reasonably good condition...but I have never found it easy to say the least.......the very idea would bring me out in sweats and anxiety attacks. 

But I also love nice teeth and I think it is very important to look after them.

SO it was after much thought and worry that I decided i needed my teeth whitened...(after 50 years of sweets...curries....wine...etc they were definitely over due !!! 😨 )

This is a brief account of my experience:

For once I didn't really do much research....probably should have. ..spoke to a few friends etc.  They spoke of sensitivity for a few days etc....some said they couldn't see any difference. ...and so forth.

I really wasn't prepared for the device they put in your mouth 😲 call me naive  ( but I won't answer to it ho ho ho 😉 ) 

It was uncomfortable. ..not painful 

I had 3 x 20 minutes sessions which were interrupted briefly by another coat of the whitening agent....in all about an hour with this device in your mouth

It was almost impossible to speak.... ( which did not go down well with me )

And I had to keep still...again something I am not good at..

I didn't experience much sensitivity at the time but a few hours later I did.

It lasted for a couple of days..i took a couple of paracetamol which helped

I avoided colourful food and red wine for several days as advised.

It was not an enjoyable experience.....but i was pleased with the result....i think the lady had quite a tall order.....

this is a before and after....not mine i must say.

This is b4 ( and i am not happy that i have had to show it ) yuk!!!
         

But this is the after..So just need to get them straightened now...lol

Traumatic Tuesday!!!!

No work 2day.....

So my next official work day is thursday...so wot 2 do 2day????

I am unfortunate enough 2 have a severe phobia.....
Of the Dentist!!!!  and due to the fact that i have had an on goin problem with several back teeth (6 months !!) have had to admit thaat they wil have to cum out,,,,to say that i was terrified was an understatement.....my dentist bless her accepts the fact that i am not a suitable candidate for an extraction in her surgery and refers me too the hospital...( yes i no...babies/children/old folk..like me!!!  have extractions at the dentist.....so i will apologise unreservedly for bein a blubbering fool )
So i've been for the relevant preops etc....pep talks where thy informed me that i will b sedated but not asleep!!!!!  NOT ASLEEP!!!!!   WTF  They r under no illusions that i do not believe them when they say i wil be calm and that i will probably not even no wots goin on.......WOT EVA!!!!
after calming me down ( to be honest they were all lovly )  i have agreed to cum in 2day and have it dun,,,,,
Terrified is an understatement and i can not believe that i av convinced myself to have it dun.....nutter cums 2 mind.blood pressure sky hi....heart beat doin a marathon!!!!!..i am actually convinced i cud DIE!!!!!!!
so amazingly i am not dead....feelin very strange to say the least, minus 3 teeth.....havin no memory of wot has happened for the last hour is weird to say the least ( not that i want 2 remember havin my teeth out!!! )   but very bizarre......so i am allowed to go with a few DO's and Dont's ( yes u guessed it....no Chardonnay )
I did stop off for a nice latte on the way home ( so my husband informs me )  but an hour later and i cant remember that either.....driftin in and out of sleep all afternoon.....loosin a day is very strange......this sedation is sum good S**T.......
