My teeth suck


This is the next installment in the ongoing tooth saga:

Last night part of my tooth came off, pictured above as the little grayish blob next to the penny (for size) while I was flossing.  It is off of the same tooth that had the root canal.  I need a crown on that tooth but I ran out of insurance money a couple months ago.  I was supposed to "go easy on it" while the temporary seal was on but I guess I just gnawed and crunched my way into cracked/broken tooth land.  

Has anyone seen District 9 yet?  I had flashbacks to a certain part of that movie, and I don't want to ruin it, but I think if you've seen it you'll know what I mean.  But reality was nothing like that horrible scene.  It was just a little piece and it doesn't even hurt.  I just hope that there isn't more cracking that I haven't seen yet.  

My appointment to prep for the crown is not for a week and a half and I don't have dental insurance until the first of the month so I hope nothing has to be done right this instant.  I'll keep you posted.  I am getting really sick of all these tooth problems.

you know I had a tooth break away..the sides all around a filling, they just didn't have enough there to stay on.
