I recently had a dental cleaning. A month prior to that I had an exam over a concern for him recession. I have a lingering concern about a capped tooth that doesn't fit correctly by my judgement.

It took me a while to get the appointment because:

I currently use the insurance of the un-riche.

I prefer to go to private offices than "community health centers" (which, though they sound public, aren't).

Some anxiety over wanting to go to a different provider than the one who did the cap...

And likely other things.

Last overnight, I dreamed I spontaneously lost (at least) four teeth (and gum tissue).

I wonder at the connection...but I am not convinced there directly is one...or what my self is trying to use previous anxt to tell me about ongoing anxiety.

And now I am wondering about the similarity of those two "a" words.
