Eek! Heather, GO TO A DENTIST! If he or she does something you're uncomfortable with you can get up and leave, but there's no reason to suffer when you can get some help!
(that said, when I was in college and had no insurance and my wisdom teeth were growing in and killing me, I found that a strong drink was a BIIIIIG help!
My big plan this weekend is that hubby and I are going car shopping. I'm nervous, never having bought a car that was nice enough to require a loan/financing for it before. But we went and got approved at a credit union, so we're going shopping tomorrow. Wish us luck!
