Darned front filling popped out
Normally this doesn’t happen when I eat ribs but as soon as my tongue discovered a new hole on my teeth, I was, crap! Not bad, the filling held for four years. My front teeth would be in better shape … Continue reading
Recent trip to the dentist went fine
I need to pay more attention on what I’m actually going in for. I thought it was a routine cleaning but maybe the last person in December said that to keep me from freaking out. Yours truly is waging war … Continue reading
My first root canal
Contrary to this hilarious scene starring Steve Martin in one of his best supporting roles, the operation to kill the nerve under my lost filling went with little difficulty. Now I have to wait until the original dentist I was … Continue reading
Dental Work #5: touch-up cleaning

Dental Work #2: Cleaning the left side
Nothing too exciting regarding yesterday morning. The dentist and his assistant cleaned up the other side they didn’t work on earlier. The only change, after the right side, I got a prescription for special toothpaste. After this cleaning, the dentist … Continue reading
Dental Work #1: Cleaning the right side
Yesterday was the kickoff of actual work on the 2019 campaign to fix up my teeth. Before anything can be done regarding those front ones I broke, the dentist insists on cleaning them up. Today was the fun, deep cleaning … Continue reading
Ouch! My teef! Part 2: The Dentist’s assessment
While I was grateful the dentist could see me yesterday near the end of my shift, I knew the news would be crummy but I hate it when all the other jazz comes into play. Yes, I haven’t been to … Continue reading
Ouch! My teef!
“Just what we need!” to paraphrase Somara which was also very little comfort yesterday as I showed her what happened when I fainted yesterday. Fainted? I’ve been feeling off, mostly bed-ridden so I should’ve taken my time heading to the … Continue reading
