I had a jagged edged tooth (one next to it was extracted on Christmas Eve) which was ripping at my tongue when I ate, talked, breathed. Luckily the dentist saw me Christmas morning to file it down for me as I was flying to the UK that day and was in great discomfort. Our bills are assisted, but not very much I'm afraid. Hope yours will be OK til Wednesday.

Platinum, ok. Platinum…maybe I'll have to have a best seller first?

The jagged edges are wearing away my cheek and I am dreading seeing the dentist tomorrow. Because of the pain? You bet … the pain of the bill!!

I hope it's not hurting. A good dentist can do wonders though.

The same thing happened to me when I was at Clarion South. Astonishingly it didn't hurt but the jagged edge created a mouthful of ulcers. It has a nice new crown – but now another has done the same! It's the third in two years – but so far none have hurt. Got my fingers crossed that's the end of it.

My dentist keeps saying "Not another one. I don't want you to have a mouth full of crowns." Does he think I do?

Titanium is better for the body than stainless steel.
Hope you're not in too much discomfort.

Oh, that's just hideous. I had a tooth partially disintegrate while I was eating spaghetti (thanks to the incompetence of the NHS) so I feel your pain.

Hope it gets fixed soon!

My sympathies, that has just happening to me too. Wishing you good dentistry.

I can say that gold teeth have a wonderful tactile feel on your tongue (and an abrasive feel on your wallet).
