This is totally uncalled for. Its bad enough I'm creaking and aching like
an old worn out mule. But now I'm literally falling apart.

I broke off a piece of one of my front teeth in my sleep last night. The
broken bit was still in my mouth when I woke up.

I know I should be grateful it doesn't hurt. But some mornings these look
on the bright side and take pleasure in the small stuff ideals don't cut
it.

Even being able to tell my dentist "I told you so" is small satisfaction.
I just hope I can get in soon to get the sharp edge smoothed off.

((((((((((((((((((((jo))))))))))))))))))) bummer, kid. hope you did get
in
and get that smoothed.

i think i know how you feel, jo, everytime i look in the mirror and see
that
more of my kamakaze hair has taken off from its scalp deck and crashed
landed somewhere else.

I got in to the dentist yesterday. It helps that I've known everyone in
that office for nearly thirty years.

I just wanted to get the sharp edge smoothed off. But they went ahead and
smoothed off that one and the two next to it that had tiny chips. Then
bonded stuff over the tops to make them look nice and even. But a tiny bit
shorter so they don't hit against the top teeth like they did.

It was as easy as getting my acrylic fingernails done. Looks good if I say
so myself and feels good too. She did warn we they won't be as strong as
they were, but since they were chipping before, I'd guess they won't be much
worse.

Sept fourth I have an appointment with an orthodontist to make a mouth guard
for at night. All my bottom teeth are too crowded and are wanting to move
and twist out of line.

Thank you all. Its just depressing to start the day by loosing body parts.

Jo

sounds like they did a very nice job, jo. i'm glad you're pleased with the
result. that's what's most important. hope you're feeling better about it.
