Incidental Masticatory Yelp

Ok... so for the past 2 years I have been busily grinding my teeth down to tiny little nubs while I sleep....

Doing something about that at the moment with a special recipe... add one dentist, a whole heap of time and liberal servings of bank account....

My last visit involved the dentist stepping on my head to keep my mouth open for 90 minutes as ground what was left of some of my teeth down, made castings and then temporary crowns.  The real ones will be made and installed in the next few weeks  ( and this is the bottom left so far... I still have the other three sides to get done....)....  Afterwards I should be able to bite cable cars and things like a James Bond villain.

Anyway a temporary crown that I have on one of my teeth has just come off.. (while eating cheese out at a photo meeting of all things...).. and the lovely little exposed nerves underneath are declaring themselves to me quite mercilessly. And now that I am back home, I am finding I have to drink my burbon and coke with my head tilted to the side....

  1. I despise dental work and recently sat with my mouth open for 2hours getting a root canal and temporary crown.
