    I unfortunately am going to start to look like a red-neck hillbilly soon if I dont stop breaking my teeth to the point they have to be pulled! My teeth just crumble!

    Learned the hardway! That gauze they have you bite down on is there for a reason! Dont do what I did and toss the gauze out as soon as I left the oral surgeon office! The gauze actually makes me gag and want to throw up, however by removing it right away CAN YOU SAY DRY SOCKET! Never want to do that again!

    My biggest fear at the dentist is the actual drilling. Not the drilling itself but what I do during the drilling! Last time they were drilling they had a new assistent who was basically drowning me with the water. By reflex I swallowed as he was drilling! This is NOT a good thing as the drill bounced and cut my tongue! So after that is cleaned up, time to drill again! Dont swallow, dont swallow......and I did! So just last week I broke my tooth to a nub and getting a crown. I had myself sick over trying to not swallow, I was shaking! Unfortunately only have 2 more crowns scheduled!
