It’s falling down. Actually it fell. See this?
This is not supposed to be on the desk. It is supposed to be in my mouth. It’s not enough that I had to have a failed implant removed and get a bone graft. No, that’s not nearly enough fun. So today when I was eating lunch, the whole bridge decided to fall down.
Did I mention my dentist took this week off for winter recess? (Schools around here are closed this week.) This means I have to dig out my car and drive in the sleet and snow to the on-call dentist so he can glue the bridge back in.
Can’t I just use crazy glue?
I did the “super glue” bit once with an eyetooth when I couldn’t get to the dentist. Dang thing stayed in for four or five years before it fell out again. Didn’t work so well the second time, but the dentist got a laugh out of it.
It would probably eat through something on the bridge and then you would have to have a new one made. How is everything going for you ?
Monkles, So so sorry about the tooth problems . I had two caps fall out last month, one off a ‘live tooth’, and yowee. No fun. Hope the back up guy took care of it pronto.
I am no longer toothless – for the time being, anyway. And where else can you go to read a blog and see a photo of teeth?
Super Glue is a lifesaver! You know how my luck runs, right? I’ve used enough super glue on my falsies to make their stock triple in value.
I couldn’t quite figure out what that white blob in the photo was. I thought at first it was some exotic arctic (considering where you live) caterpillar. Once I put on my reading specs, of course, it was obvious.
Since this is only a temporary bridge, I’m hoping the real one will stay in a lot better. This damn thing is loose again already. Damn stupid teeth.
Oh my goodness. I would be curled up in a ball for the rest of my life. Just seeing the pictures are making my go home soon.
(PS to the other post- your son should TOTALLY get sent to OK at the end of the 4 years… our priest kept saying “hell” as “hail” and cracking me up. He also said “and then Jesus said “Y’all…..” He could learn to talk Oklahoman, you know?
I’m on my way back to the dentist yet again because the stupid thing is loose. Again.
Re: Priests & accents – when we were in San Antonio in Oct., we both cracked up with the priest said, “Peace be with y’all.” You sure don’t hear that in NY.
Oh, & Peggy? At least the shot was of clean teeth. And I didn’t take a photo of the gap in my mouth with it out. Now THAT would have been gross.
Y’all wouldn’t be makin’ fun of the way I talk, would you?
I love the way you talk. I’ve actually heard you talk so I can say that. You, on the other hand, will just have to believe me when I say I have no accent whatsoever. None at all.

Ha! You forget that I have heard you talk, and I can absolutely swear to Gin that you do in fact have an accent. I’ve never heard Gin talk, but I’ll bet she’s the one without an accent. Y’all Yankees must have tin ears or sumpin’.
