My dental mental year has come to a close and I’m finally free from the Cave of Eternal Paranoia – no more sleepless nights worrying about the long-awaited crown or battling between expectations and reality.

It took more than a year to arrive at this point. Ask me if it hurts to extract a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment, and I would have forgotten the pain (or pressure that the dentists put it).

I’m just glad that it’s all over.
