This picture above describes how I felt for the past two weeks.
I had really bad teeth, I mean really bad. I think it had gotten so fragile and sensitive because of the years of drinking coffee and brushing once a day. Every now and then I felt pain but I didn’t do anything with it because the pain was bearable and very quick. But then two weeks ago I felt excruciating toothache and went to my first dentist appointment since… it’s been so long I can’t even remember when, and my reluctance to visit the dentist cost me, in total, around 1200 dollars. Not to mention that I couldn’t eat (and speak) normally because I could barely open my mouth and chewing was extremely painful. But now I’m writing this while eating Greek salad and it feels like the happiest day of my life.
