Caught a break. I chipped a front tooth on the weekend, well actually it was more like the tooth decided it had enough of this world and was slowly offing itself.
A filling fell out late last year, a chunk at the back fell out last month and on Saturday a big chunk at the side decided to separate. The cosmetics were awful.
The tooth is very thin and that was the cause of my concern. Much had been excavated at the back. Felt real weird.
I spent the weekend researching possible fixes and given that my default setting is ‘catastrophic thinking’ I was easily able to convince myself that a tooth implant was the only possible solution or maybe if God smiled upon me I could get away with a veneer.
After a few phone calls it was off to the Emergency Dentist.
Thankfully the Doc said neither a veneer nor an implant would be required.
The bonding process used, assuming a reasonable standard of hygiene, should last many years.
Yay! And Yay also to having Toronto’s only 24 hour Emergency Dentist a couple of blocks away.
