Healthy teeth 6/13/2017

I went to see a dental appointment.

When I sat down in the dental office chair, the nurse gave me a television remote, a blanket, and a comfy pillow. It was unusual. They never gave any of them for a dental cleaning appointment. So, I thought this appointment would take for long. I went in the office at 8:30 am and left at noon. I stayed there for three hours and half. By the time I got out from the office, I was totally exhausted.

I have many metal crowns and fillings in my molars. They were treated when I was in my 20s and early 30s. Since the crowns and fillings of tooth color were not covered by the insurance company and they were expensive, so I had no option except for metal ones in those days. I have always hated to have metals in my mouth.

So, today’s treatment was to change my metal crown and filling in my left lower molars into tooth colored resins.

Since I haven’t done any of dental drilling work for more than two decades, I was so scared without knowing by myself. Even before the drilling treatment, I felt my eyes shedding tears very quietly.

The result was great. I love the new look of my molar tooth.

Perhaps, nobody notices my small improvement. But to me, this small improvement gives me confidence and relief. It is good for me mentally and physically. It is good not only for teeth but also for total me holistically. 

In order to completely change metals into tooth colored resin, I will have to put up with this long and painful work three more times. I look forward to my further improvement.
