I had my small X-ray done this past Wednesday. I was nervous, yes, but only just a little and it was just an easy 10 minute visit. Dr. Nirav needed to see if the bone was healing well around the implant and it is! I wasn’t all that fearful and the small X-ray/bite-wing wasn’t what I had thought or perhaps he did it in a way that wouldn’t make me remember my past bad experience.

He held the film where he needed to while someone else took the picture – it was so FAST! And I was proud to be able to have that done. So all looks well and next Tuesday I’m in for a couple of root canals and I think one final tooth being pulled. This is all in preparation for my crowns. Plus another impression needs to be done as well. I don’t get frightened so much anymore about them.

So what I mean in the title is that my days are just cruising along as normally as any other day without even thinking about the upcoming visit! I’m so amazed at how well I’m handling it all now. I don’t get butterflies, not until the day anyway. I look back on my old posts now and say to myself…. “wholly shit I’ve been through a lot!”…. and now the upcoming appointments don’t even cross my mind. It’s just……… another appointment!
