The missing tooth of 2006

It’s not knitting, but I just had to share. I broke off part of one of my molars this week. I have had a filling in one of my lower left molars since I was about 10. It’s a metal filling; and the tooth around it weakened enough so that cracked and it popped off on one side. My dentist says, “It happens. We’ll fix it”. She’s a great dentist so I’m waiting until she gets back in town to do the work. Luckily I’m not in any pain; but I do have to be careful when I eat. Click here
to see the missing tooth in all it’s glory.

(The dark area is just shadow - that’s the filling in there, so isn’t anything so mundane as tooth decay. You have to imagine that the 1/3 of the tooth is still there)

    You are so brave to put a picture of your tooth and mouth on your blog. How funny.
