    Dentist went alright for me too. I went to a new one that’s more of a community type one that’s mostly subsidised. Because I’m under 18, it doesn’t really matter where I go, I don’t personally pay for any of that (it’s either covered under school medical, the Medicare subsidies, or worst case child protection will pay for it), but I thought it’d be a good idea to switch to somewhere I can actually afford to go to once I age out as well. He cleaned my teeth, but didn’t use any of that nice fluoride stuff my last one used. Just that water spray thing with that little standby tool on the end that sounds like someone scratching a plate with a streak knife.

    My teeth, surprisingly, aren’t as fucked as I was expecting. But I need a filling and all of my wisdom teeth are impacted, so I have to go back in a month for the filling, and get a referral to the dental hospital to have my wisdom teeth out. Scary stuff. No fun

    Edit: it’s just dawning on me that I’ve never had any sort of operation before that involves anaesthesia. That’s the scariest of the parts
