Temporary Teeth

2 hours and $2000 later, i have finally gotten my temporary crowns. wow, my face hurts.

for those that haven't experienced the wonders of getting a crown, much less 2: they shave your tooth (teeth) down to a nub, slap some plastic on it as a temporary cover, and make you come back in a few wks to for the porcelin version.

until i get my bling, they tell me i can't eat crunchy or gummy stuff for fear of the temporary falling out. SO... of course i asked what i was suppose to do in the event it did fall out. her reply: "squirt some toothpaste in there and pop it back on. that should stick."

OMG. i need to find a new dentist...
