Today I went to see my dentist, actually to be seen, since for most of the visit my mouth was wide open and my eyes half shut and blurry since I had taken my glasses off.
After the technician ushered me into a room and got me settled into a big reclining chair, she asked if there was anything she could do for me. I told her I would like to watch the soccer game. They were not able to accomidate that wish but the appointment went rather quickly so I did get home in time to watch most of the game between England and Argentina. England got the first goal but Argentina won.
But back to the dental work. I was fitted with a new mouthpiece to prevent me from grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw. My first one fit very tightly and broke when I removed it one morning while we were on our cruise. This one fits more comfortably and will work much better I think. My dentist (the grandson of the dentist I started going to in1982 when we moved back to Fort Wayne) also replaced the crown I popped off three weeks ago while eating a Milk Dud. I will avoid caramel treats from now on. All in all a very successful visit. Now I am going to bed to "test drive" my new mouth piece. Good night.
