I've had a rather foul taste in my mouth the last few days, even tho I've been brushing my teeth faithfully with my electric toothbrush. With a brand new head no less. Then today I noticed one of my teeth felt like it had a sharp edge to it. After getting home, I stuck a mirror in my mouth so I could get a good look at my upper teeth. Sure enough, looks like one of my fillings fell out! What happened to the filling I do not know, I assume I must have swallowed it. [yuck!] Its one of those old style silver fillings, I hope I don't die of mercury poisoning because I swallowed it. That would suck.

Anyway, there's a big gaping hole where my filling used to be. [I guess that's why they call them cavities] I used a pair of pointy tweezers to scrape out the food stuck in there. It was very smelly! [double yuck!!] Then I used a q-tip with most of the cotton taken off so I could jam it in there and clean it out. Then I put some disinfectant on some cotton and fill the cavity with it.

Not sure how much it will cost to get a new filling in there. More than I can afford, no doubt, and I'm sure they'll want to do major renovations once they get a look at the rest of my molars. F*ck that, I'm gonna do some research on the internet and do it it myself. I got a B&D drill, some duct tape and a glue gun. How hard can it be?
