My worst nightmare!

So I posted the other week about me having an infected tooth. 
Today was the day that pesky thing was to come out and indeed it did. 
I am sat here now with my pasty white face and a sore jaw.

This post is aptly named as I am one of those people who ALWAYS dream about having my teeth either pulled out or they just fall out. Now I know this is suppose to signify something else but not for me, no way! 
When I have dreams about my teeth falling out it is because I am genuinely petrified of it!

You can imagine the state I had worked myself up to by the time I got into the dental surgery. I was convinced I was going to be in there for hours and that it would be extremely painful. I had also convinced myself I would look like I should be on Jeremy Kyle as I would have bad teeth! 
I am fully aware that having a tooth out is not a massive big deal in the grand scheme of things but for me as someone who is insecure and not happy with how I look at the best of times this is very much a big deal for me!

Having said this....I was in the dentist chair for approx 10min, it popped out all in one pull, it didn't cause lots of pain and when I smile you can't even see that it is gone!

I am eating like a fool and it is sore and annoying but I am sure I will be fine.

But lets make one thing very clear...I DO NOT WANT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN!

I am going to be very strict with the sugars I am eating and how I look after my teeth from now on.
As I put in my last post, I do look after my teeth well but for some reason they just seem to be crap! I am going to make all the efforts I can to keep them as healthy as possible.

I am lucky enough to be registered with an NHS dentist and on a whole they are pretty good and I visit ever 6 months for a check up.

If you don't visit the dentist or are putting it off please go! You have probably all seen this advert...

...well it is serious!

Now everyone go clean your teeth or I will post pictures of my missing tooth!!!
