Well my filling is really broken but a part of it broke off. Now if I run my tongue across my tooth I can feel very jagged edges. Almost feels like I was eating popcorn and part of it got stuck between my teeth. It broke/got chipped /whatever from pizza I think, it wasn’t hard bread or anything, at first I thought a part of the read got stuck but after a bit I concluded that I lost a filling, after checking the mirror at home and from talking with Katty on the car ride home we came to the conclusion that I probably am missing part of my filling since luckily there has been no pain.
I’m not sure if I expressed to Katty exactly how afraid I am of this, I told her but don’t think she realizes how shaken I am to my core. I have a death grip on the chair during cleanings let alone when they actually have to drill. Images of them having to redrill the tooth further to get a new and better fitting filling makes me break into a cold, cold sweat. Worse still when I was examining myself in the mirror the trouble is on a tooth where it is more filling then tooth, so now I am worried that they might just have to yank the whole thing or do other weird mouth stuff. I use the bite blocks for normal drilling, at least this tooth is closer to the front.
Finally the tooth, or the newly exposed filling metal is leaving a pretty weird taste in my mouth, combined with being sick it is pretty gross. I can only hope that I am not experiencing mercury poisoning but instead getting some sort of super power. If my power is having gross lips when waking up and messed up dreams than checkmark!
I have an appointment for the end of the month, I guess I will call tomorrow to see if I should come in sooner. I am worried that the jagged hooks left behind will catch on food and yank the whole filling out as well as my happiness
sounds painful Dean, better get that checked out sooner than later. Of course they will prolly charge you an emergency fee.
