Dental Dread


Can I just tell you one thing I absolutely hate? The Dentist. I don't know why I dislike it so much but going to the dentist is absolutely dreadful. Even getting my teeth cleaned is one of my least favorite things to do. They almost always have bad news for me no matter how much, I clean, floss, brush etc... Last time I visited the dentist for a cleaning, they praised me for my dental hygiene and then told me I needed 2 crowns and a cavity filled. Way to kick a girl when she's down. Am I right? Today, I had an appointment with my dentist to fill that darn cavity and prep my tooth for a crown. Grrrr..... 
As I was lying there in the dental chair, I tried to place myself somewhere else, anywhere else to help get my mind off my reality. I pictured myself on the beach with a drink in my hand enjoying the ocean view, and all the beautiful people but no matter how hard I tried, all I could think of was how I would rather be anywhere else than right there in that very chair. Like bootcamp, or doing yard work (I hate yard work), or scrubbing the toilets. I'm pretty sure all those things confirmed just how much I dislike the dentist. 

All in all, it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated but... It didn't make me want to go back anytime soon. 
I have another appointment in 2 weeks : (
