Teeth are extremely high on my priority list.

What other option did I have?
A few days ago I was running my tongue along my teeth and my tongue caught on a sharp edge. To say I panicked to was an understatement. I was afraid I had cracked a tooth. There is no way I’m going to the dentist here! While in Argentine I learned under no condition do you see a dentist outside the states.
So I had to look for sure and see what was what in my mouth. I tried everything, every mirror I had, heck the web-cam even got a shot. I ended up just shoving my camera in my mouth and snapping. When I zoomed in on the pictures my worst fears seemed confirmed, I saw the crack. That’s when the dread hit.
I started thinking of all the possible causes. I love the partially popped kernels at the end of a batch of popcorn but I don’t remember anything cracking. Sunflowers seeds, disgusting habit I’ve picked up here, nope those aren’t that hard.
This weekend in Qingdao I finally admitted to the gang about my tooth. For some reason the fact I stuck my camera in my mouth to get a picture just sent them rolling. As Thomas’s dad was a military dentist Katie had the necessary Chinese qualifications to give me a quick exam. The conclusion was a lost filling, which would explain the lack of nerve agitation.
So fingers crossed I can go to the dentist as soon as I get home and I don’t do any permanent damage before then. For now brushing will be stepped up and Listerine is my new best friend.
