I’m very happy today because it’s the first time in five months that I can eat on both sides of my mouth.  I got my permanent crown in after what seems like endless dentist visits and drilling, not to mention the beginning of this journey that started with soul-crushing pain.  See that shadow on the far right tooth?  That’s not supposed to be there.  But now, I can rest and eat easy and it’s smooth sailing in toothland… until the next disaster.
