Small Mercies

Last evening I felt something go wrong on my upper-right-back molar. That's tooth that has an inlay on it, and the inlay had previously (a few years ago) fallen out, and been re-glued in. I was eating crackers, and had swallowed -- so didn't find any bits. Oops. Poking around with my tongue, found there was a big hole back there, with jagged edges.

I called the dentist this morning, and got an appointment for 4:45 this afternoon. Luckily it wasn't the inlay gone -- "just" a bit of the tooth that had broken off. So, all it needed was a really big filling.
