Well, i have bad karma or something this year. Just as i am getting over the hospital event, i was sitting down this Sunday to a tasty BLT and my fake front tooth fell out! I was horrified, in a sub hysterical tizzy i hence forth found a 24/7 dentist and went and paid $850 to have the tooth fixed back into the yellow stump. I then found out the problem was much bigger than a bit of super glue, the issue is i have an infection in my gum due to a bad root canal when it first happened. You see it was 7 years ago in NYC and i slipped on ice and smashed out my tooth. I was living in London and sans insurance, so i found a dentist who stabilised the tooth for my flight home. Unfortunately it was not done well and i have ended up now with an abscess. So now i am looking at out about $4000 worth of work to clean out my tooth, new root canal, reconstruction of the post and a new porcelain cap. Suffice to say i was quite upset, but now realise i have to do it or my tooth will keep popping out to say hello to my sandwiches. So i am going to see a dentist tomorrow for a second opinion and search for dentists with long term payment plans so i can get it done ASAP.
Bit sucky but hey at least i do not have a brain aneurysm!
