Hair Freak Out

I have always considered myself very lucky when it comes to visits with the dentist. I have never had anything major done on my teeth. I did though crack two wisdom teeth on two different occasions. Since they weren't impacted the whole pulling experience went really well. On the second occasion, I even went straight from the dentist to girls night. Only problem I had was that I couldn't eat anything and Jenni's food smelled amazing. I was a drooling mess!

I went to the dentist yesterday though, to have a cavity filled and it was definitely an experience. I almost freaked out, well maybe it was a freak out. It wasn't from the work the dentist was doing. I love me dentist. He is awesome. But, it was all my hair's fault. I know I said my hair, I'm not nuts I swear! I had my hair in a ponytail and while I was sitting in the chair it started to hurt because it was pushed up. Well I kept thinking about it and everyone knows if you think about it only makes it worse.

I starting fidgeting and feeling like I couldn't breath. I don't think the device holding my mouth holding open, sucking thing helped either. I wanted to jump out of the chair and run away. Then the cavity was a lot bigger than my dentist realized and it took forever to fill. I was in the chair for about an hour. Just thinking about the whole experience is making me tense!

Who would have thought I would get all worked up over my hair and not because of the big needles or the drill. Maybe I am nuts! :)
