\"old<\/a>I went to my dentist for a normal PROPHY, his code word for teeth cleaning and inspection. It seemed fairly normal, except it was time to get them blasted with X-rays. New tool has no film. Just a digital sensor I bite on as the oral hygienist zaps\u00a0me with the ray gun.<\/p>\n

At the end of the cleaning the doc comes in to inspect my bright and shiny chompers, and takes a look at the new X-Rays. Well golly it looks like I have a chipped filling I need fixed. (Probably from biting on the X-Ray gizmo I\u2019m facetiously thinking.) No problem he says. He can fix that with a filling replacement. As luck would have it (good or bad) there was an opening the next day.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of fillings and I and the dentist go way back with keeping my teeth up to par. So it is not a big deal for me either. So I am glad I can get it fixed so soon.<\/p>\n

The next morning my jaw gets all numbed up and the excavation begins. I have more filling than I have real teeth these days. He\u2019s going in wide and deep.\u00a0 He struggles in getting the clamp to fit, but he works through that and the tooth is re-filled and the work is done. We talk shop for a few minutes and then I leave with an appointment in six months for my next PROPHY.<\/p>\n

Ten hours later after eating some soup, I thought for a moment the soup had a bone in it. Gulp! The new filling had just fallen out of the tooth. No chewing with soup. It just fell out. Well, that was a first for me.<\/p>\n

Of course my friend the dentist humorously boasts that his work (fillings) never just fall out. Well, maybe once before. Now who is being facetious? \u00a0In any case I got a freebie total redo of the filling. A repeat of the day before. Of course I am kinda glad I don’t have to see him professionally \u00a0for another six months\u2026 I hope!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
