I also mouth breath. Sometimes I think my hottie dentist thinks I'm psycho, but then I relax my fists which makes him relax. Hells, I've only kicked a dentist once--and that wasn't even him. Now, can we talk anesthetic? Because I have a extra set of nerves, so I'm never numb the first time they drill...now you know why I kicked. By the way, I am supposed to have a night-guard from my teeth grinding, but I refuse. Too much gagging at night and dreams of being suffocated by dental goo.

But isn't it awful how we feel the need to <i>apologize</i> to docs and such? I mean, c'mon, there was nothing you needed to say sorry about--but when I'm in that sort of situation I apologize and feel like <i>I've</i> done something wrong. So much for believing in a consumer model of medical care, you know? (Okay, personal rant over. . .) You’ll be glad you have the nightguard in the long run. . .

I haven't had one since I got braces like 15 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. That has to be the stuff that make Barbies out of. I don't know what else to relate it to.... blech!

I HATE dental impressions - they made me gag so bad, and I don't usually have problems with that at all. I dreaded that at the orthodontist. I have found since I had kids that if I use the breathing I learned for labor I can usually get through okay. I sure hope that guard fits.

I hope this is the last one you have to have done. I still remember how awful the impressions were for my braces almost 20 years ago! I hope this is the last one you have to have done.
