I blogged so late last night covering our weekend that there's really not much to say today.
After the boys got up we headed out on our doughnut run...as I was biting into my 3rd soft, warm, Krispy Kreme I chomped down on something nastily crunchy. I quickly spit it out and wondered if it could've been my fake tooth.
It was.
I briefly considered leaving it for Halloween.
Not really.
Instead I waited till 10 when they opened and called and told them. They had an 11:30 for me which meant Jason had to head home soon so he could watch the boys.
I'm home now and my tooth looks nearly as bad as before. I'm so mad at that place. It's the kind of dentist where he doesn't really do anything and a bunch of young girls with who knows what certifications wander around doing all the real work for him. He came in and gave me the shot of anesthetic and told the girl her plan to patch it was a bad one, just take it off and start over. I think maybe she was mad at him and took it out on my mouth?
It looks that way.
I'm all gap toothed now and you can see obvious breakage on the veneer which is glued all thick in my mouth and I've got glue or something coating the back of the tooth too. They never even handed me a mirror. When I got into the car I was aghast and thought about walking back in there to make them fix it. Then I remembered it's just a temp.
You'd better believe that after I get the permanent one next week I'm not leaving until I approve their work. And I'm going to wear a business suit with every hair smoothed into place, fully made up. Rather than my unkempt hair and sweatsuit I'm wearing today. Perhaps from my appearance it looks like I don't care much? I might not be fancy but I don't want a messed up grill. Just because I'm a stay at home mom doesn't mean you can do shotty work on my mouth, you big lazy bunch of punks.
So that's my news for today.
Jason got the boys fed and in their rooms but Dalton isn't sleeping so I'd better go up and fix that. I hope he's not scared when he sees me.
J had to go back to work and I'd better find some lunch. I'm thinking corn on the cob so this stupid veneer falls off again and needs fixin'. ;)
Edited to add...I have nothing against gap teeth, or gap toothed people (well, except for Madonna). I've just had braces twice, never had a gap before and wish I still looked like me instead of like this:
That's all. I want it to look like this again:

Oh bless your heart. I totally understand your frustration. You've been through a lot over that dang tooth!
If it's any consolation, it really doesn't look bad. It doesn't look as good as your real tooth, but I bet it's something no one besides you (or maybe Jason and your mom) would ever notice.
And on the bright side, it's just temporary! I do understand your frustration though. I'm sure I'd be feeling it too.
How frustrating Kristin!!
However, I do agree with AJ, it doesn't look bad at all....just not the perfection you are used to ;)
Oh man, I hate leaving an appointment where I feel like I've paid someone to be incompetent. So frustrating!
Anyway, I agree with the other girls, it isn't too noticeable...but if I can notice something "off" about myself, I think it is TOO noticeable, even if other people don't think it is a big deal.
That really stinks. And I know when it happpens to me, I am so self conscience that I don't even want to smile.
I may be finding a new dr after this is all over.
You poor thing! I hope you get a nicer person next time to take care of you! You will have your old smile in no time!
