see the dentist

I haven’t seen the dentist in years. One of my goals for 2008 is to get an exam and a cleaning.

My plan: take my antibiotics as directed (3 times a day), take ibuprofen whenever I feel hot and achy, and eat soft foods and/or eat on the other side of my mouth until I get this done to minimize the pressure on that tooth. I’m already feeling more calm about it. I think the infection in my jaw has caused or contributed to a lot of other infections and illnesses in the past few years. I’ll be happy to feel better again.

I need a root canal. :( I guess this stays on my list…

Appointment’s on Thursday! I even know where it is. I’m hoping I don’t need anything that’s painful or expensive, but we’ll see.

I wish I could go more!
