So, I just lost a filling in a broken tooth. Looks like it's time to make a dentist appointment.
It's been 4 or 5 years since I was last at the dentist, so I'm in definite need of a cleaning (at the least) and I have 4 or 5 broken or missing back teeth (how I'm still able to eat is a mystery to me!)
So long as the dental work I need to have done doesn't top $5000, I'll be okay to pay using my credit card (and adjust my spending yet again to cover those monthly payments) since I don't have insurance.
I just don't want to deal with the disapproving looks from the dentist and the assistant.
eta since it's been so long, I couldn't remember the name of my dentist, but by some sort of awesomeness, we had the magnet for the dental office on the fridge, so I look them up to see if it's the same location, and it is! So I made an online appointment and should hear back from then between 1 and 3 today (I hope).
this is me anxious again...

I'm not scared of the dentist...I just don't have the money
