Teeth

I have been to the dentist today, for the first time in three years. Last time, the doctor told me there are some initial caries things in my mouth, but nothing that needs to be treated yet.

Over the years, the situation got worse. But I hardly had money for a treatment. Also, living in Germany, I was confused by their health insurance rules, so I never even tried to visit any hospital. Eventually, I could feel three major holes with my bare tongue and a very weak but still annoying pain in one of them, that started when I would eat lots of sweeties and only got worse if I tried to brush it away. Hence, coming back to Stockholm, I found myself asking my parents for a teeth treatment as a Christmas gift.

To my amazement, the x-ray image only revealed one major hole. All the others where still declared to be small and not matured. The three years of mistreatment did not change the picture. I think I should be glad, but I am somehow rather worried. I can't help suspecting that the dentist just failed to notice something...
