Hej and Good Morning! Thor and I went for a walk to the coffee shop in the city center earlier. I paid extra for my coffee since I paid less on Tuesday, so that felt good. And then we walked home again. Holy moly it’s sweaty outside!
Later today, Jim and I are going to the dentist. It’s apparently across the street from our apartment so that’s nice. I’m super nervous:( I hate going to the dentist. There is a thousand things wrong in my mouth. On my last visit to a dentist in Sweden (Dec 2012), I was told that I don’t have to go to the dentist that often, every other year is fine, cause my teeth looks so good. 6 months later, when I had got married, I started to go with J to his dentist in Midtown Manhattan and they have done a lot of stuff in my mouth over the years and made me feel like I had the worst teeth of all time. Who to trust? Well, I prefer to trust America. Here you get your teeth checked and cleaned twice a year and in Sweden they told me to come back maybe in two years.
My mouth and smile was one of my favorite part of my body when I was younger. I got braces in a very early age (which I now understand was waaaaayyyy too early) and when everybody else had a metal mouth, I had a straight and white smile that I was proud of. And then came my wisdom teeth which caused one tooth to fall out of it’s placement. And then I started to drink a lot more tea and fell in love with coffee. The thread behind the upper front teeth has been broken many many times because the lower teeth doesn’t fit….which also caused that my jaw is out of line to the right these days, so everything is crooked and I hate my smile. On top of all this,..I clench so hard at night that my teeth are disappearing. All these things can be fixed, but at a pretty big cost and I have already put a lot of money on my teeth after the weird shit the Swedish dentist had done.
So I’m scared of what this dentist will say today. Maybe they will tell me that the NYC dentist had been doing shit wrong too and I have to start all over again. Trust issues, big time! But, I’m hoping that they can help on some of these issues. We have great insurance now with J’s new job so maybe I can get something done. Wish me good luck today.
