Whenever you break a tooth

Posted by Itlandm on March 7, 2013

Actually, it is one of the two synthetic teeth, the one on the left, that has come loose again. It is the most common of the two to come loose, and I usually have to fasten one of them each year at the least.  It is definitely loose; I felt it a few days ago, and now it can move a little back and forth. I wonder if this is related to the feeling of swelling and pressure in the upper jaw. When it has been loose a while, bacteria make their way up to behind the false tooth and the foundation it was fastened to.

The interval at which they used to break coincided with the interval I used to buy computers for the first couple years, causing me to come up with the rule that “Whenever you buy a computer, God kills a tooth” (a parody on the “Whenever you xxx, God kills a kitten” meme). Then the loosening of the tooths started to get ahead of the computer buying, and now it seems to be entirely disconnected. But I could always turn the rule around: Whenever you break a tooth, it is time buy a computer?

Well, hopefully there won’t be any serious health consequences, what with this being a false tooth and all.
