Bright Smile...


I am my own dentist...

I hesitate to post too many "what I did today" kinds of entries here, but I figured this one was worth a line or two, if for no other reason than to find out who reads this.

While on vacation I had some NASTY dreams. I mean, the worst of the worst. On the first night in the hotel, I started grinding my teeth which, along with a really fatigued set of facial muscles, got me a broken front tooth. I think I actually notched my other front tooth too, but it didn't break, more like ground a little notch in itself against my lower tooth. I spent the whole vacation playing with the little break in the middle of one tooth and wondering if the indentation in the other was from the same event.

When I got home, having been driven totally nuts by this, I took out my Swiss Army knife and found the metal file. Yeah, I did. I filed down my two front teeth into a beautiful pair of shaped and, unbroken and un-notched, incisors. I liked the result so much I ground down the opposing tooth that stuck above the others.

Oh, they are still MY coffee-tinted teeth and all that...but I have to say I have NEVER had my teeth this nice before. No joke.

Thank God for the Swiss...and painkillers.
