No one likes to go to the dentist and quite by accident, I discovered something I had done that made my visits more bearable. While waiting for my mouth to become numb, I was playing around with my phone and was listening to some music through my earbuds in high hopes it would help me relax.
I was in the middle of one of my favorite songs when the dentist walked in and I just turned the volume up so I could hear it until it had finished. Then it dawned on me, I was about to get some dental work done and there I sat enjoying my music.
Turning the volume up, I didn't hear the sound of the drill or that weird noise everyone hears in their head when a tooth is removed. I needed to have some intense dental work and I was totally amazed at how much more tolerable it was while I was listening to my favorite playlist.
No one likes to get shots but once done, the music made a huge difference with the rest of my visits. I was totally amazed at how much more relaxed I was. I don't normally like loud music but it sure was a lot better than hearing the drill. I no longer dread going and have updated my playlists.
I have no photo of me at the VA Hospital's Dental Office because photographs are not permitted so the above photo is of myself after losing 70 pounds.
