Back here I mentioned breaking a tooth; the dentist put some sealant on it and said come back after insurance approves the crown. The insurer has done so, so I went back today for the mold to be taken and a temporary aluminum crown put on. I demanded a porcelain crown, even though the insurance people will only pay for gold. After looking in the mirror, I decided gold would make me look like a 50 year-old white rap artist, and the thought does not appeal.

Interesting, no?
No. ;)
Posted by: Linkmeister at October 1, 2002 08:24 AMI should point out that this thing is about four teeth back on the left; you'd almost have to look for it deliberately in order to notice. However, I'd know it was there.
Dying my hair is not an acceptable option...it's more salt n' pepper than full-on gray, anyway. (Actually, since the base is brown, I suppose it's not really pepper but some other, browner, spice.)
