another post-bank-holiday phone call to the dentist :-(

[julesjones]

Over the course of last month's bank holiday weekend, I had two fillings fall out. I continued to have a bit of pain on one of them, probably due to the nerve taking a while to settle down after two weeks between the filling falling out and being replaced. A couple of days ago the tooth behind it seemed to be aching slightly as well. It now appears that this is because the giant filling in *that* tooth was peeling away and held in place pretty much by capillary force. :-(

My sympathies. All my old 1950's-era fillings are falling apart now. Next week I go in to have the fourth crown put in. That tooth is now 98% fillings, well, until they crumbled.

I have antique teeth. *sigh*

I hope the resulting dental work isn't too unpleasant. It must be the season; my crown cracked over the weekend. I do not take this to be some kind of republican statement on the part of my teeth.
