I’m off work this coming week. This is your basic stay at home R&R kind of vacation. I have few plans, although there is the matter of a few items on the job list I have been ignoring. The whole business got off to a bad start on Friday afternoon. Shortly after getting home from work, a crown popped off in my mouth. This was a piece of dental work that has served me very well for some time. It wasn’t even anything sticky or special in any way that dislodged it.

Fortunately I didn’t swallow it and it didn’t go bouncing across the floor. It simply stopped being stuck, leaving me with the strange feeling that there was a tooth amongst the stuff I happened to be chewing. It looks intact, and my mouth seems to be fine. Hopefully, this will be a simple cement job. After quite some time with nothing bad happening to my teeth, I’ve been at the dentist too many times lately. In fact I was there just last week for a cleaning. I have an excellent dentist and an excellent hygienist as well. I’ll be calling the office first thing in the morning to see if I can get an appointment while I’m off to get this fixed up.
