tooth-ee two

Extra note: It turns out that my dentist really likes to take her time. She didn't do the final filling last week. Instead she removed the temporary filling and the other filling already in that tooth, and cleaned out the hole thoroughly. Then she put in another temporary filling, to check how the tooth would react, and only did the final filling today, five days later. But she still hasn't polished it up – I have to go back in a week's time when she will inspect the filling to see if any of it has been worn smooth, which would show that it was too high, in which case she would take a bit off. Only then will she finish it off … and only then will I actually pay anything!
