The dental work I had done recently involved the demolition of a major molar and the installation of a replacement. I guess I could have passed on the replacement and left a big gap in my smile. Might have looked kinda cool. Probably would have been cheaper, too, but I have enough problems with my wife as it is.
Anyway, the new tooth felt weird. There was a different feel relative to the surrounding teeth and my bite had changed and, frankly, the damn thing hurt for a while. I did have a dude with a high speed dental drill excavate enamel awfully close to a whole lot of damp mucous membrane. How could that not traumatize my mouth for a while?
The funny thing is that I had a sore tooth and I really did keep touching it with my tongue. "Still hurts. Wonder if I touch it again? Still hurts. OK, I waited 30 seconds, let's give it another try." Ad infinitum.
I really enjoy trying to make the worst of everything.
