Oak, I surely can!
I am grateful that I have no pain in my mouth and can eat, drink and breath freely
I am grateful that dentistry is no longer the horrorshow it was when I was growing up. I've had enough good experiences now that it has almost become just another appointment.
I am grateful that the work I've done to catch up on my dental hygiene, including flossing, has negated some of the childhood neglect, and I have made improvements in the state of my gums and no longer have sensitivity to cold.
I am grateful that the only serious work I've had done are crowns, and that the procedures went well with no nerve damage.
I am grateful that I have dental insurance. I am supremely grateful for the 3 month period that I had double coverage and was able to get 4 crowns done without any cost to me (other than the emotional work of having that much work done in a short time period...do not recommend).
I am grateful that dentists still do the "free day" for those that are not so fortunate. I am aware that the luck of birth place/time/class means I have been gifted with the means for good health. I did nothing to deserve this privilege.
Well, I ended up having the most amazing day yesterday so this might just be working. I was happy and easily able to cope with life and slept well.
I might just bore you all with further gratitudes.
Heather
