Just now.

The crown on one of my teeth fell off.

When I was eating.

*chew chew* *hey what's this hard thing?* *spits it out* *O_O wtf?*

What remains is a tooth that has been so worn and chiseled away by the dentist that there is barely anything there. It's a funny shape and quite sharp. I hope I won't cut my tongue on it when sleeping. How the tooth became like this is a long story (basically a botched dentist job from a few years ago) I wonder if I should just get it pulled out finally. I have dental insurance, it's just finding a dentist and finding the time to go that's the problem... anything medical in this country is such a mystery to me.

I've... rinsed the crown and put it in my coins bag >_> because I don't know if a future dentist would need to see it or not (unlikely). Maybe it could just be stuck back on or something.

Still, I'm hyper. Weekends! Weekends! Who cares about a broken tooth when you have happy weekends? *rabu rabus you all*

My sister once pulled a gold crown off her tooth by eating a candy bar. I'm pretty sure the dentist put the same crown back on. It wouldn't hurt for you to save the one, just in case.

I have a couple replacement teeth. The original ones are long gone. If you do get this one pulled, you might want to consider replacing it with a fake tooth. I think it's easier on your gums that way.

Good luck!
