Just need to check in about my tooth. It is not currently causing me any trouble. Once in a while when I eat hot food or drink a hot beverage I get a little ting or pulse of sensation on it.
My problem is really more about projecting into the future. My cousin is coming to visit in a couple of weeks. I just keep “seeing” things going wrong, having some sort of emergency, such as having to have all my bottom teeth pulled for a denture. This has been discussed with my periodontist as a possibility.
Mostly I just needed to get this out of my head and down on paper. For some reason early in the morning when I get up for work and wind up spending a couple of hours by myself, I obsess and catastrophize about this kind of problem. Also, black and white thinking – where either everything goes great in my cousin;s visit, or else everything goes wrong and the visit is a bust.
