My Digital Online Diary

I can’t remember who asked me the question “did you want term life insurance.” I can clearly remember somebody asked me that. I guess that is the insurance agent I met a few years ago. She clearly explained the insurance premiums and benefits I can get in the future.

But, I never listened to her and did not grab the opportunity when the premium is still lower. Today, I am not sure if I still qualify to get insurance considering I don’t have permanent work. Sigh! That is one of the mistakes I committed in my life. If ever I grab that opportunity, I’ll probably be able to use the insurance benefits today since it happened almost five years ago.

Well, there is no turning back now. I just hope I can get something that I can afford.

Dental Pain – If the pain is in the upper jaw, press thumb into the area near where the jaw hinges, under the cheekbone. Explore with your thumb for the place that brings the most immediate relief. Place the thumb of one hand where the thumb bone of the other hand meets the index finger bone. Rub in small circles for one minute; do as many times as needed on both hands.

Incoming Wisdom Tooth Pain – Chew gum or bite down on a hard pretzel. This will help the tooth break through sooner than it normally would. If the pain is sharp and pulsing, then try applying cold packs to the face. Anytime it’s a dull aching pain, try applying hot packs to the area.

Gum Pain Relief – Put a teaspoon of sea salt (found at health food stores) in a cup of hot water and swish some around in your mouth and spit out. Repeat every hour. If pain persists, see your dentist.

Technique while in Dentist Chair to Reduce Anxiety – Use before and during dental work. Locate the most tender spot in the web of the right or left hand thumb, and squeeze firmly with the thumb on top and the forefinger on bottom for 3 min’s. Hold the ring and little finger of either hand for three minutes or longer whenever you want to feel calmer.

Actually I never have a nice set of teeth. Some are even uprooted when I was a teenager. I regret that move, but I can’t return the time and my teeth. Good thing I am in a generation where dentist can do magic.

It took me a long time to realize the importance of complete set of teeth. My parents don’t care much of our looks before. I am the one who feels uncomfortable when I reach college. Now I continually visit my dentist for cleaning and restoration.

Of course, with so many teeth that needs rejuvenating and restoration, finishing it in one day won’t be possible. After so all the restoration process, I am also planning of replacing the missing teeth in my molars. That is the only time I can smile to the whole world with confidence.
