I found out recently i have a genetic degenerative bone disease in my jaw and it effects my teeth greatly. I know all too well your fear of the dentists. I cried like a baby when I sat in that chair last year to find out the wonderful news. I wish I had taken better care of my teeth as a youth and now it's all coming home to roost! Hope you heal up well and that your fears subside. Excellent shots as always and I even punned on the image I chose for the next HotShots curation post. hahaha
Cheers
