Sensitive Gums And Teeth

Honestly, I don't like going to the dentist.  It's not that I hate it but I just don't have enough courage to deal with the cleaning of my teeth and stuff.  My teeth and gums are sensitive.  It makes me very nervous.  

There was a time when the dental hygienist took my blood pressure and it was very high.  I was like, man!  So I had to relax and think of something nice so the stress will go away.  After a little while she tried it checking my BP again and it went down a little bit.  Good thing it was just a cleaning appointment.

I am so chicken when it comes to dental appointments.  Arg.  How about you?

Treatment Starts Tomorrow

It is my dental appointment tomorrow.  This is my very first visit to the dentist's office since my pregnancy.  I was about to start my dental treatment last year when I learned that I was pregnant.  My husband and I had to reschedule it after delivery and recovery.

Because of hormonal changes in a pregnant woman's body, the gums will become sore, swollen and bleeding.  So it is not advisable to have tooth extraction while pregnant.  But it is still important to see a dentist or hygienist during pregnancy to prevent dental problems.

I really hate going to the dentist.  I am scared and nervous knowing that my teeth will be drilled.  But as soon as my gums get numb, everything is fine.(Smiles).  My husband saw the dentist first two weeks ago.  We are both thankful that we have a very good dental insurance.

Long Term Health Benefit

Darn! I am going to the dentist again tomorrow. What is wrong these guys? They want to pull my tooth out. I know the filling of this tooth popped out when I ate peanuts. Why can't they just replace the filling so the tooth will be saved? Gosh, this is ridiculous! I understand this is for my long term health but...you know what I mean? I am just like chicken.

Healthy Celebrity Smile

I just had my dental appointment in the middle of my working days. I felt a little bit awkward asking for a day-off because I am newly hired. But the appointment was set a month ago and for some insurance reasons, I have to go for it. My honey and I went to the dentist in Plano whom he sees for years now. He does cosmetic dentistry.

To me, dental health is very important. People with healthy teeth eat better. It also helps build self-confidence. In fact, there are dental products that help maintain healthy teeth. Dental veneers, for example, helps whiten teeth permanently and align smile perfectly. I will have some tooth to be crowned and they say veneers can be placed over the crowns without doing some replacement. Maintaining dental health is a part of our daily life and choosing reliable dental products should be considered for successful result. Then we can have a celebrity smile that everyone admires.

On Dental Health

Though it is freezing outside, today is not a cool day for me and my honey. He is feeling sore, I am groggy and weak. The half part of my face is throbbing with pain after the molar tooth extraction. My honey had his teeth drilled and cleaned.

When I took the pain reliever pill, I feel like I am drunk. My body automatically settled on the couch. My gum has stopped bleeding. Though the dentist is very light during the extraction process, I cannot help sweating. Maybe because I still have the feeling of that "first time". But for long-term health and fitness, it should be done. Dental health is one of the most important health concerns that we should not neglect.

For The Sake Of Staying Healthy and Fit

As I walked by through the cyberspace last night I got stuck with Reana Claire's blog. I was reading her posts, something had struck senses. My goodness! I think her post is teasing my guts and confidence at this time. I did my part on this several periods ago and I know dental health is truly essential any way you look at it. All these years my bravery is always challenged. I have sensitive teeth. That means my teeth react when I drink, eat very cold or hot things. Some say that another factor that leads to the development of tooth sensitivity is age. I learned that tooth sensitivity is highest between the ages of 25 and 30. Whatever the reason, doing proper dental care helps reduce teeth discomfort.

I cannot deny that nervousness strikes sometimes. I am a coward, I know that. But for the sake of staying healthy and fit, I have to deal with the pain. Even if it is killing me!!! Wait. I have a dental appointment tomorrow. I almost forgot. Ugh!
