Oh, this is not happening…
Eating rice — soft, soft, rice — and the tooth I had the root canal on just a week ago split in two. Yup, right up the middle along the drill hole. So half a tooth fell out into my mouth. Luckily, I didn’t swallow it. From tip to gum, a half a tooth.
It’s Saturday night. My dental appointment is for Wednesday. Guess Monday will be a day to make calls and hope for a spot on the dentist’s calendar.
On the bright side the tooth is dead so there’s no pain — at least none yet. Wonder if there will be. I hope not. But, at least this is fixable and we have insurance. I keep telling myself I’m actually lucky. Yeah, lucky with half a tooth in my palm.
