Goldcrown and Bill Cosby

Early in 2007 I had a restorative crown put onto one of my back teeth. During the process, a temporary crown was installed for 2 weeks, but it broke off when having lunch one day. When I returned to have the permanent, gold, crown installed, the Dentist had said that the cement used is much stronger etc etc so eating steak etc would be OK. However crushing ice or chewing hard caramel might not be such a good idea. Nevertheless, I had quite a surprise last week when enjoying a Fantail and suddenly feeling my crown rolling around in my mouth!

So it was off to the dentist to have it repaired and re-installed. Fortunately, the crown was undamaged and after a clean (the dentist called it “sand blasting”!) was successfully repaired. Whilst there I had an examination to check my other teeth and also a calcium scrape to clean them.Then today, saw this on Kevin DeYoung’s blog! It’s very accurate! Kind regards to my dentist (who is excellent by the way!) and my dentistry friends (hopefully you’ll still be my friends after this…)
