I honestly have wanted to go to the dentist, there were just some factors that kept getting in the way. But last week I went to my dentist (at Perfect Smile in Beaverton), who I think is very nice and so far would recommend her to others, for a teeth cleaning and x-rays. It was no surprise when she found that my mouth is riddled with multiple cavities.
So to fill in all my cavities, we are doing one quadrant at a time, which means that the ladies at Perfect Smile will get to know me well in the next couple months. It reminds me of when I decided to paint the centerpieces (bowls) for my reception, and I went to a pottery painting place for months. I was so familiar with it, and the ladies who worked there were so familiar with me, it was weird when I was finally done.
I hate going to the dentist, though. The drill is the worst part, but then having my face numb for most of the day is also pretty bad.
Though, in this picture it's not so bad, I couldn't feel my lips at all. I put lipgloss on, but then couldn't rub my lips together. Josh went to give me a kiss, but I couldn't even pucker.
P.S. The title from the post is an exact quote from my dentist. About me. It made me laugh.

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow and I'm worried I might have a few cavities. Last time I went I felt like I had a few but they said they didn't see anything. I have a feeling this time they will find them. :( Nothing like that tingly feeling as the mouth regains feeling to make the afternoon fun.
That reminds me when I was first pegnant with Phoebe I had 11 cavities and had 5 visits in total. Since I was lso pregnant no gas for me :(.
I'm afraid to go because it's been a VERY long time for me... and I've NEVER once had a cavity. Sad to think that record will probably fall.
Major yikes! I have yet in my life to have a cavity. And so far my kids have been spared as well. They don't sound fun!
