In extremely minor and inconsequential news of annoyingness -- tonight, while eating an innocuous sandwich, a big honkin' chunk of my lower right molar came off, leaving a jaggedy rough-edged crater of goddamn it I have to go see a dentist DAMN DAMN DAMN.

Or, encroaching age sucks. Yeah.

Teeth

My family legacy is lousy eyesight and bad teeth, so you have my deepest sympathies. And when a tooth breaks on something soft, it really does feel like it's adding insult to injury, doesn't it?

With no dental insurance, trips to the dentist are a double disaster. Thank goodness I have a dentist that allows payments. I've had to get several crowns, root canals, and now I need a bridge; of course, the two anchor teeth are both already crowns that will have to be replaced for the bridge. *heavy sigh*

Do hope that your dentist is able to repair the molar. I was surprised when mine was able to fix a nasty broken tooth without extraction or crowning. I'd thought the damage too great but the repair has held up nicely and that's been five or more years now.
