Well, I had an exciting afternoon.
Our guest came by for a spell before heading uptown to see Sister Act. I went back to the office and began to eat an apple. Well, the apple fought back by breaking a tooth! It's not even one of the teeth that was going to be worked on by the dentist. I was able to save part of the tooth. I don't know if I swallowed some of it or threw some away when I spit out the apple (I bit, began to chew and heard and felt a crunch. Knowing apples don't crunch I suspected something was wrong). I then headed over to the NYU Dental Clinic for emergency treatment. In about an hour and 10 minutes they fitted me with a temporary crown and have re-written my treatment plan to include this little bugger. I have to be careful while eating and do no chewing with the affected tooth until the real crown is attached after 3 visits. I need a root canal, a post and core and a crown which adds about $1,200 dollars to the aforementioned treatment. Oh, well. I know it would be double if I went to a full out dentist. The treatment was good (you would never know I just lost a tooth), as painless as possible and I'm happy to have it over!
