A tale of the fallen toothcap

A lot of disasters have been skipped here, some of the notable ones included an accident on my bike with my brother, and a flight I was supposed to travel on getting cancelled.

However, the last one really takes the cake as being the whackiest.



Yes, this is a tooth cap. It fell out during a recent flight from Delhi back to Bangalore.

I can hear you going GROSS, but I'm sure you also understand that this means I now have a poor tooth with a huge hole in it, which lies exposed to the big bad world of bacteria without any protection, and not even a life to speak of (yes, they killed the tooth during root canal surgery). There is also a slight hint of pain involved.

This makes the impending visit to the dentinst extremely important and urgent. Priorities in increasing order are:

  1. Find time to visit dentist
  2. Take an appointment with a dentist
  3. Find a new dentist. :(

Of course, this might have the side effect of getting all the other cavities cured before they become this serious, but that would only be a side effect.
