last night, after supper, I felt as though I had something stuck in one of my back teeth…

after trying for a while to get it out, I realized that a piece of my back tooth was missing…

kind of freaked me out… anyone who knows me knows how I feel about going to the dentist, sigh…

it didn’t hurt, but I kept wondering if it was going to…

first thing in the morning I called and was able to get in to see my dentist…

had to take a taxi to get there and found it rather difficult to see how much was owed…

I just barely sat down when I was called into the office…

it took nearly an hour for the filling to be completed… it was a bad one and apparently it was in the worst place for someone like me who has a tremendous gag reflex, lol… glad it is over…

walked down to the Delta and caught a cab home…

I am still rather tentative about chewing on that side…

in May I had a filling repaired that was really stained since it had been done…

no matter how often I go to the dentist I am always nervous and worried that it will hurt me, sigh…

made it through the process and was happy with how the tooth looked as it was one of the front ones;-)…

on Wednesday, while I was eating my supper, a piece of the tooth slid off and it felt rough and odd…

my daughter, the dental assistant, insisted that I call and leave a message at the office and they returned the call on Thursday morning… they were able to fit me in after the big graduation, during which I didn’t have any substantial smiles, lol…

I was very stressed and even more so when the dentist advised they weren’t going to freeze the area… it didn’t take long, but after what seemed like hours (likely minutes) the job was done…

it looks good, but I am concerned about biting anything with my front teeth now, but smiling isn’t a problem anymore;-)…

had to go to the dentist for a couple of fillings… sad face…

I am seriously stressed by dentists, but go regularly so that I don’t have any problems… clearly had a very negative experience as a child and the fear has never left me…

I’ve been going to a specialized dental office for over twenty years and still I am nervous every time I go, lol…

the nerves at this appointment came because many years ago something happened when I was getting the freezing in my upper teeth… I mentioned it, and she changed the type of medication she used and then stood and chatted with me until it was time to start the procedure… clearly an attempt to keep me calm, lol…

got this shot as I was walking back to the office… felt much more relaxed as I passed by the Delta…

today I emptied and refilled the hot tub after my grandson arrived to move the tub a tiny bit before it was refilled…

when we replaced the arm on the hot tub a while ago, we moved it out a bit which meant that I couldn’t open one side of the cover without opening the gate… bit of a pain on a cold night…

it takes about 3 hours to empty and about half an hour to fill…

waiting now to see how long it will take to get up to the correct temperature…

early start to the day with a dentist appointment for a filling…

usually my teeth are in great shape and the regular cleaning and check-ups keep any cavities away…

unfortunately last time I was in, she noticed a broken piece on one of my back molars… I hadn’t been wearing my mouthguard as much as I am supposed to, which might have been the problem…

let me tell you I’ve been wearing it every night since… don’t want any more broken bits, sigh…

this morning she was sad when she realized which tooth it was, because I gag easily, so doing work at the back of my mouth is always stressful… for me and for her… she doesn’t want to cause any unnecessary stress or strain on me if at all possible…

whenever she does a procedure on my teeth she works quickly and takes frequent breaks so I can breathe… this is one of the reasons that I found a dentist who dealt with “chickens”… and they love purple;-)… at the water station they have the cutest little purple cups…

today it went well until they were removing some of the stuff they had stuck into my mouth, lol… but, I survived…

I don’t have dental insurance and usually what I pay for 3 cleanings and check-ups is less than the insurance… today’s bill was more than anticipated, but worth it to stop any further decay…

once I got to the office I had a blueberry smoothie, which was purple too…

started the day with a visit to the dentist for a filling… had a cleaning done a couple of weeks ago…

  
went very well… probably the most relaxed I’ve been during a procedure for a very long time… not sure if it is because I am getting older, or actually able to relax better, lol…

when I arrived home the cleaners were just finishing up…

  
love how great it looks once they are done… pictures show what an overcast and dull day it was…

  
living room is ready for company tonight…

took the time to replace a tile which I broke yesterday when I was getting a bowl down for dinner… I had foolishly put one bowl under another and when I took off the top one, the second one flew out and hit the tile before crashing to the floor…

  
bits and pieces when I got them out…

  
lucky for me we had a few spare tiles so it was easy to pick up the bits and put down a new one…

  
the broken bowl was a beautiful heavy purple and blue one which held the heat nicely, sigh… oh well, it was my own fault…
