How to get my teeth cleaned
It made me
Sad but glad
 "I have 2 cavities"
How I did it: I work 3 blocks away from my dentist and every time I drove by I would tell myself that I needed to make an appointment. I don't know how many times I must have repeated that pattern before I finally called. It was one of those things on the bottom of my to-do list, I suppose. When I arrived, they told me that I hadn't been in 3 years -- which honestly came as a surprise to me because it hadn't felt that long. When I arrived, they immediately booked me for another cleaning 6 months out so that I wouldn't forget or try to wiggle my way out. Lessons & tips: If it crosses your mind that you "should" get your teeth cleaned, just do it! Don't put it off because, before you know it, it could be 3 years down the road before you finally get there.

I finally went today! My teeth look sooo much better and I only had two cavities. I’m going back on the 29th to have them filled. As long as I go every six months like I used to, I should be able to avoid or minimize cavities in the future. Mark also had two cavities, in the same spot. It was a little creepy. Woo-hoo! It’s done now!

Excited and nervous
2 months ago
Well, I had to move last week’s appointment to tomorrow, but I’m finally going! I’m very excited, but also nervous, since it’s been a few years. At least Mark is able to come back into town so he can go with me and get his done as well. It makes me feel a lot better. I guess after tomorrow, I can mark this one done. Yay! Misery out of the way!

Until I get my teeth cleaned! It’s going to feel so good, and I’ll get my whiteness back! (they’re a little off-white since it’s been so long…) I’m a little nervous about cavities, but it’s better to get them taken care of now rather than waiting for them to become painful. I’m so glad Mark has great insurance…it isn’t going to cost me anything out of pocket.

I knew 43things would help!

I knew if I put it on my list, I would finally remember to take care of it! Mark and I have back-to-back appointments set for Sept. 2. I can’t wait to have shiny, smooth teeth again. I’m just really hoping I don’t have many cavities. I know I have at least one, but I’m hoping it hasn’t gotten bad. It doesn’t hurt me, but you never know…

Yeah, I really need to

From the time I was four years old, I went to the dentist every six months, until I was 24. Life has been kind of crazy for me the past five years and I haven’t had a cleaning for that long. Yuck! I’ve never had a cavity, but I’m pretty sure I have one now. My husband has great insurance for us and he also needs to go, so I need to just suck it up and make an appointment. With so much else going on, it’s been hard, but it contributes to our health so it needs to get done. I figure if I put it on 43things I will probably actually remember to do it.
