For The Press - A Project Summary

Feb
25

It must have been a seed - they’ll get you everytime– sometimes.  There I am minding my business after getting home from the office, letting my brain decompress after a long day of solving problems and making plans, eating — wait for it — a sandwich, and — crack — the pain was almost instant.  Not throbbing, not mind-numbingly shocking - just a dry, dull reminder that I’ll be spending most of my morning tomorrow waiting in a room for emergency dental work, wishing more than anything that I was at the office instead, or here in bed, and getting increasingly angrier at that damn soft music, that damn light in my face and that damn panicking sensation that I’m stuck in a chair at the whim of some wacko with a better smile than most models - a testament to his life-long dedication to be his own walking, talking, smiling business card.

Prepping more posts.  Listening to Josh Ritter.  Blaming my mother for giving me crap teeth which seem to give up where others’ would proudly prevail.

And eating more ibuprofen than I should be.

I’m no dentist, but there are mouthwashes and toothpastes that are made for strengthening tooth enamel. They might be able to get you some samples by prescription.



Good luck bro.



Ow! Been there, more than once. You’ll feel better when it’s over. Truly.



Yikes…I hope you get some relief soon.



My sympathies. I broke a tooth a few years ago chewing gum, of all things. It went something like this:

*chew* *chew* *chew* *crunch*

*pause*

Me: Gum should not go “crunch.”

/me spits out gum and finds a piece of tooth in it.

Me: Buh?

The odd thing was, it didn’t hurt, even after it was broken, and I still don’t know why it broke in the first place…at least my dentist isn’t one of the obnoxious ones who asks you questions while working on your teeth, knowing full well that you can’t answer.



How do you break a tooth on a sandwich, but not the trash I send you at Christmas? Honestly! *exasperated sigh*

Just kidding! =)

The worst part has got to be when they start drilling … and you hear that loud screetchy noise … and you start smelling smoke. Ugh. So glad I don’t have to go through that anymore. Unless … they don’t do that when they put on crowns, do they? *panics*

…. and suddenly I remember that I’m supposed to be wearing my retainer. With how much I forget to take care of my teeth it’s a wonder they aren’t in that bad of shape.

Btw, random trivia here: did you know that most of the calories (and there are quite a few) in a package of ramen noodles come from the noodles because they’re fried? Didn’t realize that myself until I picked up a package of Nissin Choice Ramen because it said “80% fat free” and read the back. Little bit pricer than regular ramen (39 cents a package compared to 11 … gasp! I’m going to go bankrupt!) … now I just have to see if they taste worth a damn.

Anyway, hope your dental work went okay this morning. Since my knee isn’t bothering me like it was last night, I’ll assume that means your tooth must be better as well. =)
