I Have No Idea

I had a small panic attack the other night as I was getting ready to sleep.

I was in bed, reading I think, and not really paying attention to much when my tongue found something "not right" in one of my teeth.  (As tongues have a tendency to do at times.)

I felt around with my finger/nail and sure enough, it felt like there was a chip or a crack on one of my upper back teeth.  I got really scared.  Scared, I think, of the potential pain fixing it might bring.  Of the dental visit I would have to make and go through.  Scared of future things related to this and scared of how it had happened.

I needed to go to sleep (work in the morning) and it wasn't causing any pain so not an emergency (not like I was about to call my dentist at 11 something at night anyway, not for this) so I tried to calm myself down by saying I'd deal with it in the morning.

Oh, I also got up and tried to floss the area in case it was stuck food but nope, the crack was still there, swear word  swear word  swear word swear word.

Told myself to just try to calm down and sleep and make calls in the morning.

And then in the morning I couldn't feel whatever I'd FOR SURE felt the night before and like even typing this out my tongue is trying to find it but I figure either there's a crack or there's not and I couldn't feel anything and so it's not too many more months until my next checkup where professionals either will or won't see something that is or isn't there but man oh man did that panic ever hit hard.

And that sucks.  

But I have no idea what was going on or was there but maybe it was just something like a popcorn kernel stuck in a certain way, who knows!?  But so far so good and I hope to keep taking good care of my teeth forever and ever please and thank you.
