Well, yesterday I spent a couple of hours at the dentists... Most of it spent either being X-Rayed or waiting for X-Rays to be developed and examined. The dentist then softened down some of the sharp edges and applied a temporary covering to stop things getting worse. I need to go back to get a proper white filling put in to fix it up nicely... and I'll be doing that early in December.
He also spotted another place where one of my old fillings had fallen out, and so the hole has gotten worse as well. So I need to get that done too. Irritatingly, it's on the other side of my mouth, so it has to be a separate trip (they don't freeze both sides at the same time, as having a vaguely functioning mouth is kind of useful). So when I've had filling #1 done, I need to arrange another appointment for filling #2. In the meantime, one of my teeth looks like it has been patched up with polyfilla.
The main upshot of all of this is that it looks like the medical profession is determined to irradiate my head. I had a CT scan of my sinuses a couple of months back, and now I've had three x-rays of my teeth done as well.
