Greetings and Salutations!
I wasn’t in the mood to write last night. Bit down and BAM! A right rear molar shattered. One that I had just had fixed not even a year ago. I had a old amalgam cavity replaced (not a root canal) and dunno?

I went to ‘finish off’ an after dinner mint (peppermint lifesaver) and towards the end… when it’d melted down juuuust about nothing… it shouldn’t<\/em> have been particularly overly hard, and I just bit down and OOF! I felt the toofus just collapse.

Crap.

I ended up spitting out the remaining pieces\/parts of the mint and the now-detonated toofus…

Currently, right now<\/strong> it doesn’t hurt, but this’s means it’s gonna be ANOTHER extraction as even WITH my dental plan, I can’t afford the deductible, and a yank\/pull is only $100. THAT I can cover. At this rate I’m going to be eligible to joint the West Virginia Kissin’ Cuzzins’ Club… (eligibility determined by the number of remaining natural teeth) And then after <\/strong>it’s pulled? Well let’s just say the diet is going to be going very well over the next week or so…

Needless to say, I’ve only had yogurt to eat today… I’m not sure just how much ‘hurt’ is going to happen from this shitshow. I’ll be sticking to my mush until I can get an appointment with the Fang-Doc.

So More Later-Later
