Yesterday morning I went to the dentist. I have temporary crowns on two molars. The dentist asked if I wanted porcelain or gold crowns. I don’t remember ever being asked that. He left the room for a while to let the anesthetic do its thing, and I did some quick looking on the internet.
Gold is good for grinders, it lasts longer, and it’s cheaper than porcelain. The only big drawback was that it doesn’t look like a natural tooth. I think I can deal with that. I asked for gold. Now when I die, the mortician can pull the gold out of my mouth and give it to relatives. (Unless it’s a dishonest mortician, in which case, shame on him.)
The temporaries will stay on until my next appointment on January 31. In the meantime, I’m supposed to only chew on the left side of my mouth. I don’t know if I can do that, but I suppose that’s better than my temporary crowns popping off.
I didn’t think I should post a picture of the inside of my mouth, so instead, here’s a picture of my half-cleaned living room. I did a bunch of things halfway yesterday.
I laughed out loud at the dishonest mortician!
I like your half-cleaned living room. It looks very cozy. 🙂
I have your great grandmothers gold crowns— now you three can fight over those prizes some day!
That’s funny.
