i made my dentist appointment 😩

#lowkey keep thinking about all the things that could be wrong w my mouth #cavities and root canals needed for allll my teeth #or tmj has completely eroded my jawbone and I need surgery!!#ooh or advanced gum disease and all my tooths need to be ripped out so they can put in dentures 😅#logically I know there probably aren't that many things wrong but I don't know for sure #AND i haven't ever had anything other than cleanings and baby tooth extractions (plus wisdom teeth)#so idk what to expect #i haven't been to a dentist since 2007 😞#last I heard i desperately needed braces but my mom didn't want to pay for them #soooo i didn't get them #and I live in shame ever since #shame and eternal fear #very glad to make an appointment for myself and not one of the cats though!!

anxiety is funny bc one time I saw this dentist/hygienist team who I now think maybe was just awful? or had bad bedside manner? bc they told me I had all these pockets in my gums and my gums were all receding and I needed a deep cleaning and to do all this other stuff, which I did for months, but none of it worked and they kept stressing me out about my gums.

I see a new dentist and my gums don’t have pockets, what? they’re irritated maybe but i don’t have pockets. and then my vit d gets sorted and my gums haven’t had any problems since.

anyway except today I find out the little flap of skin connecting my lip to my gums is pulling and making my gums recede (happens sometimes, based on your genes) and I have to go see a periodontist. I ask my dentist like, please, please brace me for anything else this guy might say about my gums. Other than this am I good?

The dentist checks and then is like yeah no you’re good but like……. I’d expect him to maybe suggest a gum graft for this pulling

and still I’m just like mostly relieved I won’t have to talk about pockets on my gums.

#surgery? fine alright. just no more stressing about gum disease.

Sometimes I think my grandma just pretends to be old and she's actually a teenager bc sometimes she speaks like an autistic teen talking about her special interest.

#she also doesn't talk like she's old #today she brought the most child-like rainbow goofy gums she found just bc “The packaging was funny”#or sometimes she would hit my back and ask me to draw her something #idk how to explain it but she's so silly and i love her so much #She's also very emotionally intelligent I mean makes sense she reads a lot about that and deadly diseases (Don't ask I don't know) ✨#Grandma appreciation post #She keeps me sane

Can’t wait to live in a house where I’m not getting constantly yelled at !

#like bro you are my father #why out of all days would you chose today to yell at me #everytime my dad gets mad at something not worth getting mad about #all I think about is #thoroughfare #Ethel cain #where she goes #and FoR the FiRST TiME SInCe I Was A CHiLd I cOUlD See A MaN ThaT WasNt AngrY #lmao #mad at me for getting my dog dental surgery as if she wasn’t years past due with literal gum disease #saying stuff like you better not have given them a window to do whatever they want with her #and if you think putting that old dog through surgery and have it benefit her well then I have nothing to say #like my good sir you do realize as soon as this dog goes I might check out too ?#she’s my lifeline #I’m gonna need you to stop insinuating she’s gonna die

my autistic ass is fantasizing about lovingly counting my f/o’s teeth

#i find it comforting #i feel like barbara would laugh at first but then she would find it really endearing #oswald is self conscious about his teeth. especially batman returns penguin. but i grab him by the shoulders like I LOVE YOU AND YOUR TEETH #ed can tell me all the names of the types of teeth and facts about gum disease #ed is the kind of person to buy you a toothbrush for your birthday #tag: journal

everytime i see skincare morning routine whatever videos on pinterest im like damn you guys are ruining your enamel

#im not a dentist obviously but i do not a lot about what things are and whats good and bad bc my mom has been an assistant most of my life #and before i was born. she switches up jobs sometimes but she ends up going back to dentistry #anyways i know many dentists and oral surgeons and dental assistants and so on some pretty close family friends now so i know a lot about #whats good and bad for your teeth and a lot of obscure knowledge like how to operate a pax 3d pan ceph #long rant of background complete so here is my advice:#STOP USING CHARCOAL TOOTHPASTE EVERYDAY. you are wearing down your enamel you are begging for future teeth problems #actually in general be cautious with over whitening. it can start to damage your teeth it is not good to use every day #stop trying to compensate when you brush your teeth. if you struggle with forgetting or just generally not brushing your teeth everyday -#do not try and SCRUB your teeth and gums when you do. if done frequently it will cause gum recession which can be a big issue #just brush your teeth normally and floss and if you have really bad build up its best to go get a professional cleaning.#best to get done yearly but its expensive without good insurance so i dont blame you if you dont.#occasionally gum disease can be spread by kissing. im just saying this because its freaked me out since childhood and i want other people #- to know.#i could do more but idk if anyone is reading the tags. anyways if you are ever having mouth problems feel free to ask me #i have lots of medical professionals near me that can answer your question its like a free consultation lol my friends do it all the time

i don't think my dental hygienist realises just how much of a fear i have surrounding oral health because i am now going to be flossing twice a day and using mouthwash and trying not to cry

#char rambles #i have mild gingivitis apparently and also am at high risk for gum disease #i nearly cried when she told me i won't even lie #i have huge anxiety around oral health. like... i am one step away from being hypochondriac about it all #anyway i need to buy a new mouthwash now
