Chipped tooth
Somehow I managed to chip the ceramic cap on one of my front teeth over the weekend.
I chipped the tooth itself when I was a kid (I fell off my bike, landing right on my front teeth). The cap that I've had on it ever since gradually wears down and needs repairing from time to time. But this was the first time the cap itself had chipped. I'm not sure what caused it - Mandy noticed that the bottom of my tooth wasn't straight at about the same time that I felt that something was different about it.
Fortunately it didn't hurt, or even tingle, but I figured I'd better get it repaired ASAP in case the rest of the cap came off. So I called the dentist yesterday morning, steeling myself for a weeks-long wait for an appointment. Surprisingly, however, they got me in yesterday afternoon.
The repair only took about 15 minutes and was entirely free of unpleasant sensations, smells or sounds. I'm a bit of a dentist phobic, so I was extremely happy about that.
