And so I broke my tooth.
I don't know how I did it, but I ended up with this sharp crag that kept jabbing my tongue and catching food. My dentist was out last week, so a stand-in dentist ground it down. This kept me from going insane while I was at Disneyland, but didn't solve the problem.
Today was the day for that.
When it comes to dental work, I can't even stand to get my teeth cleaned. So you can imagine how I react to tooth reconstruction. The stabbing. The numbness. The grinding. The scraping. It's all I can do to keep from screaming the whole time. Fortunately, I have a really good dentist, so it was over before I knew it.
The good news? My repaired tooth is beautiful. It fits my bite like a glove.
The bad news? Something is bruised inside my jaw. Once the anesthesia wore off, I was in really bad shape...
Luckily, I still have some Oxycodone left over from my last kidney stone, and it's doing a wonderful job of keeping me from jumping into oncoming traffic to get rid of the pain. I can only hope that whatever is killing me will get better overnight, because I do not have time for this...
Awwww! Who doesn't love Sweet Brown? Especially now that she's doing ads for a dentist!
And now I suppose I should take more prescription drugs and call it a day.
But first? Chocolate pudding.

I had a root canal several years ago that left me with a giant bruise and a sore jaw for a week. They told me it was from the needle but all that rooting around they do in your mouth, it’s a miracle they don’t break your friggin’ jaw entirely.

That commercial…awesome.
Hey Dave. Sorry to hear about your tooth. Did you end up getting a crown? Are you in a temporary now? Welcome to over-40! I hope the pain subsides. –Steve the dentist
After living under an apparent rock I had not encountered “Sweet Brown” before.
My life feels a little more full now.
“And so I broke my tooth.” You only have one tooth? 😉
Hopefully your face is back on the mend.
