I have an appointment in the morning at the dentist. I scheduled it online the other day, because they were already closed. You see, I have a side of a tooth that is acting an awful lot like a cavity. I mentioned that it hurt when the hygienist was cleaning it a few months ago, but she didn’t do anything about it, other than comment that it was clearly sensitive, so I figured it might just be okay. I thought it might have been another case of my guns going below the regular line on a tooth, and exposing a more sensitive area on the tooth. Now, however, I’m not so convinced.
To add to that, I noticed Friday that I had these little black spots on the top of one of my lower molars, and I started to freak a bit. Last year, the sealant on one of my upper molars had cracked, leaving black mildew(?) growing under the edge of the sealant. Since it was up top and not all the way in the back, no one had been able to see it, myself included. So, I had to go back three days later to get that fixed, and I freaked out meanwhile that I had mold or something in my mouth. It was stupidly terrifying. Now, I’m a touch worried it is another version of that. However, I’m also, in a lesser way, worries it is merely my charcoal-based toothpaste that is getting stuck in little ridges of the tooth, and it is really nothing to be worried about.
Whatever the case for both teeth, I am hoping that tomorrow morning will provide a clear answer and solution to the possible problems. I’m just hoping that they’ll do it then and there. I wrote why I was coming in in the booking, so I’m hoping they scheduled enough time for whatever needs to happen to happen tomorrow morning. If I have to hang out there all day just to get it all handled, I likely will. Hoping it doesn’t come to that, though.
Dear God, please, heal my mouth and its contents. Amen.
