Hey, stand up! Toothless people

[cyrano]

Shit. Motherfucking shit. So I woke up about two hours ago and just now discovered that I'm missing a significant part of my chewing surface. The good news is that I'm not in pain yet. It's not a complete surprise--it's one of the teeth (well, half a one now) that the dentist started work on before when I could afford dentistry and didn't get finished before I was fired, and it's been a problem spot ever since.

EDIT: So if you dream about losing teeth, you're worried about money issues, according to the Universal Dream Interpreter stuff. So if you lose teeth, will you dream about money?

In other news: I work with monkeys. Also, if you give a man a fish he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish he becomes annoyed that you're wasting his time and why don't you give him the motherfucking fish already because he's hungry god damnit.

I am looking at about $3,000 worth of dental work ahead of me and I currently don't have any insurance...
...I had to get $1,000 of it done IMMEDIATELY...
...I know the feeling.

To prolong the lack of pain and emergency dental work, do what my dentist told me to do... it really worked!

After brushing, rinse and gargle with listerine for 30 seconds...
Rinse out mouth than gargle with ACT Fluoride rinse for a minute. Don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after rinsing with the fluoride rinse.

That made a tooth that was destined for a root canal actually survive long enough that it doesn't need it now. :)

I'll have to look into that. Once I stop hyperventilating. The not eating will be tricky and require reorganizing my schedule somewhat. (:

yeah, not having my coffee until 30 minutes after I wake up kinda got me a bit, but hey... drink the coffee before :)
