about four years ago i had my wisdom teeth removed as they were generally buggering up my mouth and being rather hurty indeed. they’d done something to bugger up another of my back teeth and my dentist gave that tooth a temporary filling with a view to removing it at the same time as my wisdom teeth. when i went to see the dental surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth he didn’t think that other tooth needed removing so it got left in.

everything was fine for quite a while.

ages ago the ‘temporary filling’ came out, fair enough considering it’s name. and with being rather transient until the last few months i’ve never got around to going back to the dentist to get it fixed.

two days ago i found myself in the vicinity of a local dental practice and went in to register and make an appointment.

today i find fragments of my tooth swilling about my mouth with my tea.

did the dental receptionist put a curse on me or what?
