Dental Worries 24.3-36 , 46.3-7

[mholden1969]

Good evening,

I'm well overdue to visit the dentist. I finally plan on going soon.
Coincidentally, I noticed a peculiar thing on my gums yesterday. I'm worried could be something serious.

-----------------------

I asked the iChing the following questions:

"Should I not bother going to the dentist for this" -- 4.4 - 64 (I think that's clear)

"What should I know about the situation with my gums/tooth" -- 24.3 - 36 (chronic, long-standing issue?)

"Is it something non-serious" -- 46.3 - 7

"Will this require an invasive procedure such as a root canal/extraction" -- 22.2.4 - 14

-------------------------

Overall, I'm fairly unclear about how 46.3 - 7 is interpreted.
Obviously, I have anxiety about all of this because I don't want something to be wrong, I don't want a big bill, and I'm scared of procedures in general. Finally, the idea of losing a tooth is very upsetting to me, especially since I'm young and single -- even with something like an RC, it would feel like a loss. It seems like 22 must be playing into all of this somehow.
I'm hoping that it's nothing serious, but I am trying to prepare for otherwise.

Thank you all for reading and for your wisdom.

4.4-64 seems to mirror your uncertainty and therefore I think it implies you should have it checked out.
24.3 “Urgent return” You should get this looked at right away if only so you wont keep worrying about it!
46.3 - 7 “Pushing upward into an empty city” Nothing there to worry about? Or need to have a deep cleaning?
22.2. describes attending to something superficial and 14. Abundance is very positive.

All in all I think you can take these readings as saying you most definitely should have this checked out but it looks like if there is a problem it can quickly be put right. I think that final 14 is very encouraging for a happy ending, maybe even assuring that the money for the procedure shouldn’t be hard to come by. If you agree that thoughts become things than you know that worry causes delays so stay positive and have the attitude you are so grateful we live in an age where good dentistry is available, you’re happy to be giving your dentist a chance to show off their skills, you’re delight to see how easily the money comes to you and how pleased you are to have it to share, blah, blah, blah - think of yourself as outside your body and you are reassure and comfort your self just as you would if you were taking your dog to the vet, Lay it on thick and make this as positive an experience as possible for this puppy.

Hi Rosada,
To update -- I never went to the dentist (I will soon, though) but I did consult online on a dental forum and they told me it was the mild thing I was hoping it was -- it's all gone now. Perhaps Yi encouraged me to post on the aforementioned dental forum to consult with others.

Thank you so much for the feedback!
Your experience of 4.4 - 64 leading to you ultimately connecting with an online dental forum clarified for me the image for 64 of seeking insights from all four directions. Almost like 64 encourages us to ask around, recognize the universe is our support group!
Also very interesting about you getting 46.3 “Pushing upward into an empty city” and the situation turning out to not needing deeper exploration.
Thanks again!
