So yesterday I had a molar crown removed and replaced with a temporary to get ready for the new Much Mo Bettah crown without open margins and all kinds of subpar crap so that they can extract a tooth (which holds up a bridge, so I’ll have a two-tooth gap) and fit me with a partial denture appliance that covers those two teeth and a back molar on the other side. All on the bottom. This is a temporary solution for a couple of years until I can afford to get 3 implants to replace the missing teeth. Why am I sharing this, you ask? BECAUSE IT HURTS. Plus I can’t sleep. And I’m bored. And I want someone to talk to. Anyone else awake? I have AIM (OpalCat) gmail (opalcat@Gmail) ICQ (1742242) and probably some others. Anyone awake out there? ---
