Well, my dreaded appointment at the dentist this morning has come and gone. My jaw hurts a little from the pressure, but this cavity-filling thing is a cinch compared to the other stuff I've had done in my mouth. Two and a half years of braces. Numerous teeth pulled. Odontogenic keratocyst. Wisdom teeth. Getting a teensy-weensy cavity filled is a breeze!
Kidding aside, I really have so much to be thankful for. I could have lived "back in the day" and had to floss with horse hair or get teeth pulled with pliers and no novacaine (do they actually use that stuff anymore?). Instead, I've been able to have consistent dental care throughout my life and have (nearly) perfect teeth. Thank you, God, for providing the little things I so often take for granted.
