Last night I bit into a drumstick ( the ice cream kind ) and the whole front of my tooth broke off.
I suppose a little backstory would help. When I was 8 I decided to be a little stunt person and go down a slide on my head, needless to say they it didn’t go well, I hit my mouth on the side and broke my front tooth almost completely out. The dentist gave me a root canal and created what I thought was a tempory crown which he replaced two years later.
35 years later, the damn thing shattered, I went to the dentist today and they told me that the tooth was completely fucked and I had two choices, bridge or implant. Either way they tore that rotten ol thing out and I has a gap in the front. Talk about feeling white trash.
Anyhow I am on Percocet and feeling mighty fine but this is definitely going to be a pain in the ass. I get a floater tooth on Thursday and then in 3 months I get my implant. The good part is that my front teeth will match in color for the first time in 35 years..
I did handled it like a champ though. I totally rocked without freaking out, so go me!!!
Oh goodness, I don’t think I would have managed to stay composed during that! Well done š

It lasted a long time though only to be finally brought down by an ice-cream. I had a couple of root canals in 2012 and had my top two wisdom teeth removed. The pain was not as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck.
