A few days ago I mentioned that I had my first trip to the dentist in many years. The first appointment was for a cleaning and check up. I only gagged once! I was very proud of myself.
I didn't really know that its recommended to go to the dentist when pregnant until recently. Those lovely hormones make everything, including my gums, more sensitive and prone to infection. I was glad I sucked it up and made my appointment.
Unfortunately, today I had to go back. About a month ago I was munching on some popcorn when I chipped one of my teeth. Today I had to get it filled. She asked me if I wanted to get numbing or try to go without. Haha.. very funny dentist lady. Of course I wanted numbing. I cleared it with my doctor before hand to make sure it was safe for bub and I. So I got two painful needles then felt nothing. Even better, I didn't gag once!
Although unenjoyable and painful at the start, I'm so glad I went! My teeth are healthy and clean. The best part is I don't have to go back for another 6 months at least because in 6 months I should have a newborn in my arms :)
I can't wait!
