Tooth Ouch!

We had a storm this week, it ripped off my polytunnel plastic sheets from the tunnel - but they still stayed on ground with all soil bags I had put to keep them in place. So a small win. Surprisingly the frame is ok, I thought it would bent or break. And nothing inside the tunnel flew away. I have no idea why, but everything is there, even the rubbish.

I'm not putting it back yet. We'll having another storm coming with snow and sleet so there might be actual damage with that. Winds are from different direction than usually, therefore the plastic sheet got loose. I was sure they will get torn to pieces!

And I'm not supposed to do anything heavy lifting or getting my head downwards.

My tooth broke, one of the molars, a big one. It had filling, that broke off and after that the hole tooth shattered (so there was a new hole underneath the filling - which was about 40 years old! no wonder it got off, I don't recall it's ever been x-rayed, so the new cavity wasn't found). I was only chewing gum. Bummer.

I didn't get an appointment on any private dentists (many of them are on vacation now because next week is first of May and people get drunk and get into accidents and dentists are needed). So I called on the emergency dental care and got an appointment on the same day - I was actually able to choose on few "Would you be able to come at ten o'clock or do you need a later one?".

The dentist was considering several options, but I asked if there's any use of trying to do root canal work if there's no tooth left to put filling in, can you just pull it out? She seemed relieved, I bet most people would like to have their tooth repaired, but I was thinking as an engineer - there's nothing to put the filler, they would have needed to build the whole tooth from the scratch and that wouldn't keep.

So, one tooth poorer now, and adviced not to do anything physical few days. Oh there will be bill later, I estimate it will be something around 150€. The bill won't hurt nearly as much as the tooth hurt!

But now I need to figure out what to do next, an implant? bridge? leave as it is and hope the last molar on the back that has had too little space finally gets some room and align itself with the others?

Implant will be around 2000€ (my co-worker said he'll need one and asked for the price).

But I'm starving (not really), I can't eat any hard or crumbly or chewy food yet, and for some reason I really really crave for popcorn and crisps and meat..,.
