Time Travelled — 6 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe,
DNTL BAR
Today is another major milestone in life. After like 5-7 years (honestly who knows), I finally was brave enough to face my fears and go to a dentist. And it was surprisingly such a pleasant experience. From the get go, the vibe of the front door and lobby was very high end and luxury which made me feel very relaxed. The receptionists were very friendly and kind. They offered me a water and got my insurance sorted out ahead of time. There was no wait at all. The dental hygienist (Damaris? Not sure how to spell her name) was so friendly and kind. She gave me the best dental cleaning experience I’ve ever had. I was ready to be criticized and judged but she did not do that. She actually told me my teeth were great for the amount of time I haven’t gotten a dental cleaning. She also explained everything clearly. Dr. Do was also very friendly and kind. I felt no judgment or criticism from him. I actually was surprisingly relaxed as he took me through the scan of my teeth. 
Apparently I only had minimal gum recession and only two microscopic cavities that we can ignore. And I had the option to do some preventative fillings to my molars since they have a natural fissure. And he showed me the effects of teeth grinding on my mouth and why I needed a mouth guard. Even though it was pricey (which is why I didn’t get one before), I actually saw its importance. 
I can’t believe I’ve done it. Another accomplishment under my belt. And another thing I didn’t expect I’ll be ever doing any time soon. Hopefully this is shifting my timeline even more for the better. 
I have my eye doctor and physical in January. I’m not as nervous for my eye doctor but I’m still scared about getting naked infront of the doctor. 
Anyways, I’m excited to get my night guard and im hoping my fillings actually prevent my molars from having cavities. I spent $678 in total which stressed me out a bit. But that array of number is actually kind of auspicious so I’m just gonna accept it as a sign that this was a necessary expenditure to invest in my health and future.
 I’m another step closer to being the person I want to be who can do whatever they want to do without being held back by their fears.
