So, I did it again

I fractured a tooth again, last Friday. Nothing serious, just peeled off a small part of the face of a bicuspid. Did this the first time a couple of months ago, same tooth. I'm not in any pain, and the tooth isn't jagged. It does expose some of the inner tooth, so I do need to get it repaired.

So, I'm in no hurry, which is good, because my dentist is out of the office this week (he normally works Tues–Fri, which is why I waited until today to call). He's in Ecuador.

He goes to Ecuador once a year, with equipment and supplies, to do dental work for children.

I didn't know about this before, and he's been my dentist for at least a dozen years.

That is way cool, and I have no problem waiting for him to come back.

The volunteer work = Good.
The broken tooth = Bad.
Hope it's not painful.
