I think I am in the majority when I say I don’t enjoy going to the dentist. I am not sure anyone does. However, over the last year and a half, I’d say I have gone from not liking the dentist … to now tolerating the dentist.

Before 2022, the last time I was at a dentist was probably 15 years earlier. A little gross, I know, but I wasn’t feeling any problems, so I wasn’t feeling the need. Two root canals and a deep cleaning later, I can honestly say — in comparison to some stories I've heard — they weren’t bad at all. Maybe I got lucky with the dentists I had. Maybe they had very good Novocaine. All I know is I felt next to nothing for all three procedures. 

The moral of my story: It’s not as bad as you think. Don’t be worried. But at the same time, if the only person you can blame for your situation is yourself, then all you can do is grin and bear it.
