Toothy

Monday, April 08, 2024

Today, mainly on my mind is having to leave early to go to the dentist. It’s because, the other day, while flossing my teeth, I popped the cap off a molar. I didn’t really notice before my tongue found a difference. That happening surprised the heck out of me.

I have some capped teeth, and seemingly forever that’s been so, starting when I was ten years old. A baseball bat swung backward by a careless player hit me in the mouth and broke my front teeth. Ever since then, I’ve been a regular at dental offices.

I can’t recall ever popping off a cap before, and that shook me. Worst, it happened on Friday, and my dentist wasn’t available before today. At first, I anticipated living with a painful tooth stump, but actually, didn’t feel pain. The only thing unusual was my tongue noticing a difference between the pre- and post-occurrences.

All weekend, everything has been business as usual. Funny enough, my tongue became fond of that odd tooth tucked into my jaw’s corner. Anyway, today, the flossing damage will be repaired.

Dear Friends: Just a short hello before I leave for an early appointment. Diana
