When you crack a tooth during quarantine...

[Hoosierdood]

Called the dentist and they are closed. Only doing procedures for infections and severe pain. Dentist told me to go to CVS and buy a Home Filling Repair kit and she would see me when they are allowed to open back up. Since its a back upper molar, I laid on the kitchen counter and had my daughter do the procedure while my son held the flashlight.

I've heard an ice skate and a big rock works equally well.

This is just begging to become memes...

This would've been a great meme if they were shoving a shop vac in there too

On a serious note, they really sell a temporary filling kit?

Apparently. I was ready to make a JB Weld joke, too.

I'm just curious about the temperature inside that house. The wardrobes are all over the place.

Ha! My son is a 16 year old streaker. He refuses to put clothes on but just runs around in a pair of shorts. My daughter usually has a sweater AND a blanket. And I’m usually comfortable in short sleeves or something light. We keep it at 69 degrees during the day.

That’s pretty bad ass if you ask me.

last week I cut myself pretty bad and thought I’d be suturing myself up because I didn’t want to go to the ER. I tried super glue first and it worked extremely well and I’m healing nicely.

Was there a blue Rhino anywhere in the area....????

I keep a tube of superglue in the work truck for this reason

Had a tooth that was really bothering me last Saturday took Monday off called multiple places and only one I could through to was my main dentist here in town. He said tooth was dead and yanked it. 45 minutes after I left the house I was back home

I was shocked too. Never heard of the stuff, but there it was at CVS for about $7.00.

Yes they sell kits. It is usually IRM, or ZOE. (intermediate filling material, or zinc oxide eugenol). If it smells like oil of cloves or grandma's Christmas ham it is the latter. Eugenol is amazing and we still don't fully understand how it works but it almost instantly soothes. We've gotten away from it because it hinders bond strength of the eventual final filling. We've learned in recent years that the bond blocking effects don't last past several days but most docs are still avoiding it because of the initial findings. It's why every dental office used to smell the same way.

It definitely smells and tastes like cloves.

I'm wondering who took the picture?

My wife.

My wife.

Didn't trust her to put chemicals in your mouth? I can relate...

She would pour bleach down my throat while my mouth was open.
