had a dental appointment earlier because I’m getting sensitivity after eating chocolate and it turns out I have a tiiiny early cavity the dentist’s gonna fill next month. i had to have 2 x rays one on one side and one on the other. well the x rays picked up more than just a tiny little cavity, there’s a wisdom tooth that’s literally at a 90 degree sidewards angle to my bottom molar, it’s not causing any pain but holy shit i didn’t expect to see that on the x rays and i hate having any kind of dental work done. i just hope i don’t have to have general anaesthesia for this one bc general anaesthesia freaks me out so bad

      I didn’t know how to keep it clean before, and it used to bleed and such so I went to see the dentist. I’d recommend you do the same thing - if you get a strange taste in your mouth or anything at all causes you concern it’s best to go see the dentist to make sure it’s okay.

      In my experience food particles getting stuck in there is the main cause of any problems I’ve had with it. I fastidiously keep it clean now and it hasn’t bothered me since.
