 I'm calling them tommorow to see if they can get me in really soon to see a dentist because my mouth is really aches. This tooth abscess is making it really hard to eat cause of the pain and I know I need to get in soon before it gets any worse. I'm scared, personally going to the dentist is scarier than giving birth. I'm such a big baby when it comes to the dentist, which is funny because I don't mind going to the doctors. I always think that they will accidently drop one of their sharp instruments and I'll choke or something lol, crazy thought I know but that's what I always imagine happening. I asked my SO if he'll hold my hand when we go. I've never had a tooth pulled but I've had plenty of fillings and one root canal which the experince terrified me even more. The Severe thunderstorm sirens(one of my biggest fears as well are tornadoes, so dentist and sirens made nightmare mix) were going off and I had to get a root canal and the thing they twist onto your tooth so that they focus only on that one flew off out of my mouth in the middle of the procedure :( it scared the crap out of me! They also showed me my tooth which I didn't even want to see. I will keep my journal updated about my abscess.

A tooth abscess is nothing to let linger, the infection can spread to other teeth, your jawbone and your blood stream and cause a life-threatening blood infection.  I know dentists are scary, but being in a hospital bed fighting for your life is worse.  Don't let it go to long!

Good luck to you!

I said Dentists. They dont' scare me but I hate when they scrape your teeth. It's like running fingernails across a chalkboard.
