Display,Glad to see you checking in and it is a good way for you to talk with someone and know you are doing OK.
My heart skips a beat and my anxiety climbs when I have a twinge or any sx of a tooth problem. Here I am a full grown adult and I have a fear of going to the dentist. When I was 8-14 years old my Mother would send me to the dentist on my own and I need fillings for cavities, however, my Mother said I did not need Novocaine -it cost to much and we had no insurance. To this day when I make a dental appointment I always remind the registrar that I need the room with the nitrous oxide.
Sometimes just flossing my teeth will remove a stuck popcorn kernel and no more twinge of discomfort.
Wishing you a good and calm day,
Kitt
