On the other hand, it sounds as if you have some functioning nerves down there...I'd see a dentist...any dentist...Is there a dentist in the house? (OHMIGOD! What am I asking? This is a Leica list! :-) ) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Kyle Cassidy Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:17 PM To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: [Leica] the Leica Users Group - my one stop shopping for dental advice so ... i was out at a fancy dinner party tonight and after eating my vegitable layer something or other, i, like a good boy, retreated to the rest room and began to merrily floss (as i do not want to be toothless by 50) and while whistling a happy tune, i felt something pop out of my mouth just a little bit before i heard something clatter to the floor. "my word!" i thought, "that was a very large large and very ceramic sounding piece of broccoli!" but, much to my dismay, it was not a piece of broccoli, but (i'm sure you guessed) my crown! (insert dramatic fight music from Star Trek). i felt fine for about, ooh, ten minutes. then clutching my face in mortal agony i staggered from the dinner party as though shot in the gut, stumbling like a wino on new years down to the local CVS and squirted anbisol on my gum. this had the immediate effect of completely numbing my tongue and lips while leaving the pain in my tooth relatively untouched. at the checkout counter, the clerk noticed my distress (clutching side of face shrieking "AAAAGHH!!") and said "gee, why don't you just glue that crown back in till you see your dentist?" and promptly sold me some dubious looking crown glue. i tried to rouse my dentist by throwing stones through her windows and shrieking from her driveway, but she must be out playing golf. as the evening wore on, i met two nice young men standing by a pay phone in the hood who were able to medicate my troubles away for the time being (something strained through a sock followed by a bottle of Night Train), but they're not covered by my health insurance. so, my question is, how reasonable an idea is using this temporary "crown and filling" glue to replace my crown while i wait to get an appointment with my dentist? i figure posting here is better even than asking for advice at the NADAL conference in chicago..... keep pulling on that tooth, it'll come out, kc obleica: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /1.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /2.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /3.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /4.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /5.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /6.j pg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/plug/events/2003-11-07 /7.j pg - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
