i managed to overcome my fer of dentists last wednesday . I haven ' t been to the dentist for more than 10 years . i had problems with my ear for more than a year . My GP thought it ' s due to some cold related viral infection but it just would not go away . So last wednesday the pain was so bad and i started to believe it was coming from my jaw . So i went to a dentist for the first time in more than 10 years . Turned out that i had a wisdom tooth that had grown through my maxillary sinus that caused the problem . So i had a surgery to get it removed and the other was also bad and had to be pulled . There was one cavity that had to be filled . so this wednesday i had another appointment . they had another xray and cleaned everything . xray showed another cavity that will be fixed next wednesday EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE . what a relieve . apparently i have some good genes
