I will be glad when I can get an appointment for this $%%^^%$tooth so I can eat some ice cream. I'm tired of drinking my liquids at room temp. It's 93 degrees out there. I want some cold water. I just looked in my mouth, I can't figure out which tooth is the one that's bothering me but I do have a tooth that is crowned that is over in the mess. I hope he doesn't have to do anything to that one.

My Dad got dentures when I was maybe in my early teens. I remember during my childhood how he would wince during a meal when he ate something too hot, too cold, too chewy, or whatever. When I look back, he must have been in pain most of the time, but we couldn't afford to get his teeth fixed.

After he had them all pulled, he stopped at the store on the way home and bought a half gallon of ice cream. I still remember him sitting there...he'd take a spoonful and put it in his mouth, then go "Ahhhhhhhh" and his smile was so big!

Apparently I have a fracture on my tooth under a filling. I see the endotontist (SP?) tomorrow morning. I was glad that when I called early this morning she said 'how soon can you get here?'.

Ice cream time with whipped cream (forget the nuts).
