Diet affected teeth - Reality check @ Dentist today

NSP85

So I like many other people hate going to the dentist but a tooth has just been killing me lately. I called the other day to schedule my cleaning and when the dentist took a look today my worst fear came true - I have to have my first root canal. My poor eating habits, all the sugary foods I'd eaten over the last year have just roated away at my teeth. Not only have my poor food choices made me gain weight but it's affecting my teeths health as well. I have to say it, 'it's really my own fault.' I take full responsibility for my poor choices and can only hope that next week when I go back to have the root canal things go smoothly.

I think today, more than a number on a scale was a wake up call to me. I'm so fearful of next week but i'll suck it up and I know this will be the last time i have a terrible dentist visit.
