Things you wish you could say

No NO NO!!! This is NOT the time to bust a filling! There is an emergency dentist here but I really don't want to go that route. Crap, dammit!! should I take care of it before the whole tooth gets gone or try to nurse it until after Christmas?

I don't know what's worse, having a messed up filling or the fact that you can't help yourself and keep running your tongue over it until you tear your tongue up too

I wonder what puree'd ham and turkey taste like

Most pharmacies have an emergency/temporary home filling stuff. toothpaste aisle.

Thank you Brooks, I'll have to look into that, I knew they had pain stuff, but was not aware you could cement your own teeth. My ex used to make biscuits that were like little bricks... maybe I should ask her for the recipe?

When kids have braces, the orthodontist usually gives them a little packet of food-safe wax to put over any rough or sharp spots. I've see actual beeswax, and some other kind as well, but I'm sure it is always a kind that is safe if swallowed. It usually doesn't stay on very long or very well, but it can help give the tongue a break from rubbing the edge.

Maybe something similar would work for you, until you are able to go to the dentist.

How is your relationship? She may give you a modified recipe using super glue.

Now that sounds like another good idea, put a blob of beeswax over the entire thing until I do get to the dentist. If you swallow that, no big deal, it comes right out with minimal damage along the way. Thank you for that idea! Now to find a beehive to stick my snoot into! I do have a jar of honey a friend gave me from his apiary with a big chunk of comb in it, I may need to fish that out and give it a chew.

super glue would not work with this yap! Super glue only works on perfectly mating edges, it won't fill holes and gaps, in TOL there. (Teeth Outta Luck)

Epoxy?

Also, part of my frustration is, this is not the first time this molar been worked on, I already know what they have in mind. Crown / Root Canal, etc etc. Not a process I want to be starting now. Even if they just put a cork over it, how close am I to the parts that really cause pain? Right now it's not bothering me except for the sharp, but I know that won't last long. Maybe I just need to hit the egg nog extra hard in a few days and pain be damned hehe.

I could just wrap my entire head with fiberglass and bondo it. Paint a face on it with two teeth missing, a hole for beer to be poured into and were good right? Im seeing pictures of Alfred E Neuman in my mind right now

Well, a bit of wax seems to work, it felt odd at first but now that its at the temp of my mouth and kind of smoothed out and squishy with spit, i pretty much don't really even notice it, except my tongue is not scraping on the sharp piece of broken filling. I just hope it stays around a bit and does not slowly dissolve or whatever. we shall see
