Miracles do happen!

So I went to the dentist today, words can not express how much I loathe the dentist! It's not that I'm scared of drills or people sticking their fingers in my mouth, I just hate the part where the dentist says 'well Christa, looks like we need a root canal on number 12, and a crown on number 8, and by the way, you have three cavities to boot'. I'm kidding you not, I have not ever been to a dentist and walked away without making an appt for the following week for torture and pain. I promise you I brush my teeth daily, and I floss a least a couple times a week (I know I'm suppose to do it every day, but a couple times a week has got to be better than average) I honestly am confident that I have good dental hygiene! Regardless of all my efforts, every time I walk in there, I come out with tears in my eyes...defeated at the news. But alas, today was a miracle day! I went in there and the hygienist praised my gums, actually told me they looked great, and then the good old doctor himself walked in and said I was good to go for another 6 months. I couldn't believe it! I think he felt sorry for me, after looking at my x-rays and seeing that I've had pretty much every tooth in my mouth worked, he let me slide for another few months...we'll just have to see how things go next time :)
