I haven't been to the dentist for 8 years, being naive and ignoring any social services, thinking it would not matter in the long run having had a long bout of depression. I had always gotten by, even through more challenging situations. Though, time has caught up with me, and I'm still here. One day after going out for dinner, I felt something in my mouth, turned out to be a peice of my tooth. I have my wisdom teeth in as well, which are pushing teeth around a little, but more importantly, I have a decent sized hole on my lower right molar, about half the size of an average pinky fingernail. I have always brushed my teeth twice a day, but still I managed to get this hole in my tooth, as well, some others further back aren't doing too well either. I am quite nervous about the procedure, so much so that I feel I might not get it checked out. I know this is silly and I understand that "ignorance is bliss", but I need to be told otherwise, the procedure and importance of this.
