i have to go to the dentist in approximately thirty-two minutes, and i am not ashamed to say i am crapping myself. this visit has been sceduled because last night, whilst nibbling at the seed of a chinese lolly (preserved plum things that are dried and red and salty and delicious), i managed somehow to chip my right lateral incisor. a bit of background - i happen to have recurring nightmares that all my teeth crumble and fall out, and they scare me silly. so when i felt a tiny piece of one of my teeth crumble and fall out, i (understandably) had a mini-meltdown. i am a total fraidy-cat when it comes to dentists. i am also hoping that i won't be a whole lot poorer as a result of this visit (which is now twenty-eight minutes away).
send me happy vibes, people. happy, no-hurty, let-this-not-be-too-expensive vibes. this little indian needs all the help she can get.
update: it's five-thirty-ish and i'm back from the dentist. i am apprently a grinder, which is what caused my tooth to weaken and chip. i have many more years of chipping to look forward to. i got a filling and was told by the dentist before leaving her surgery not to eat anything for the next half hour, but i'm going with an hour just to play it safe.
