I hate going to the dentist!

Well, my wisdom teeth started chewing holes in my cheeks….so I had to get them taken out! They had to stitch up a couple of deep holes in my cheeks! I couldn’t hardly open my mouth to talk, eat, or drink for several weeks before I finally got them looked at! Simply bc…..I have high anxiety when it comes to going to see dentists or doctors! Please tell me I’m not the only one?!

I got my wisdom teeth out when I is around 12-13 and I vividly remember waking up and asking the nurse if I was awake yet and when she told me yes I started to cry and kept asking her 😭😭

The dentist asked me if I’ve bleached my teeth!
This is the absolute BEST whitening toothpaste EVER! This tube has lasted me 6 months 🤯 You only need a pea sized amount and when I tell you my teeth are white, the dentist literally said my shade was A1 😁 It also doesn’t make my teeth sensitive or weaken my enamel. I will repurpose over and over!

Dentist or barber… both!
The medical industry is kind of crazy today, but we can’t deny that it has come a looonnng way! If I went to get my haircut and then casually mentioned that my tooth was bothering me, and then the barber was like, “I can take care of that!” I think I would just have to get up and leave immediately.
