Yesterday was very much better than I was expecting...I had opted to take a taxi to the dentist a few miles away. As I had no idea what was going to happen it seemed safer all round. In the event getting my new tooth in place was easy. All the preparation last week meant that no drilling was needed...or any other nasty procedures. The dentist quite simply glued it in! At least that’s how it felt. He had left the post in situ last week, left it for a week and then glued the new shiny tooth in place! He then showed me the result by holding up a mirror. I was very pleased....it all looks normal again...though I’m not sure I’ll ever trust it enough to eat apples.
Driving me home the taxi man chatted happily and told me what was going on in the village, including the parish news....no one I’ve seen in the last week had told me that our interregnum was now filled!
So I settled down last night perfectly happy with my lot. I can eat again, smile again and enjoy life knowing that I won’t be asked to step into the breach caused by losing our curate. So. Back to normal now thank goodness , what ever normal becomes . A new phase of life seems possible, even probable. Thanks to taking a taxi I can relax...everything in the parish is fine...my mouth is working well in all it’s functions...so on we go. A new cruise is booked and paid for next month. Happy days ahead with no more trips to the dentist with any luck! .Thank you God!

Wow, a post not mentioning the Brexit saga? But good to know that you are pleased with your tooth. If you want to eat Apples, if you slice them up with a sharp knife, you should be fine. I do that and have never had an issue.
With any luck, your new tooth will last for years. Mine has been in for over 20 years, and I only had once to have a new tooth applied, when the old one worked loose, I had to be careful while waiting for a new one, but I was able to screw the old one back on to the post while waiting.
It is a blessing to have a full mouth, as only my back teeth have been removed. My spouse on the other hand has a few gaps, which she isn't worried about and is content not to wear a plate which for her, feels like a foreign body in her mouth. Keeping up appearances isn't one of her priorities.
