Well, last night I did the unthinkable. Or rather, I was thoughtless. For dessert I had a handful of chocolate chips, only I put them in cold yogurt, which made them very hard and crunchy. Lo and behold, late in the proceedings a tooth didn't align right. I figured it was detritus and tried to remove it with floss.
The entire tooth came out, or rather a crown, in a part of the mouth where I didn't recall having a crown.
And here I've been trying my damnedest not to burden medical professionals more than they already are right now with some fool careless action.
So I got hold of the dentist office, told them a crown came off and which tooth, and the receptionist told me the dentist had not put a crown there. Damned aliens. That's something else they like to do. Cryptic dental work. Still, it's usually really good work. But like I said, I was careless.
The receptionist insists it's just a filling that came out (nope, it's crown, but you think I can convince her about the aliens?), and she'll contact the dentist to see what can be done. Right now they simply don't have the PPE to be messing around in people's mouths.
Feeling very foolish and irresponsible right now. And alien-invaded...
