The tooth hurts.
Or rather, it doesn't hurt.
Which is bad, considering that pieces of it seem to be breaking off.
There was more of it last week when I tried to make an initial appointment with the dentist, but I hadn't used my HMO before and it took a while to talk them into letting me see a dentist who wasn't on the other side of L.A. (I don't know how I wound up signed up for that office, I do know that the receptionis wasn't willing to schedule me for an emergency visit and it would've taken me over an hour each way, so I really didn't want to use them).
So, with luck I've found a dentist who can make my tooth stop going crunch. It's one of the wisdom teeth that I've been expecting to lose for the past 12 years, so I won't be too disappointed if the dentist removes it.
