Are you kidding me?

A piece of my tooth came off!
What is going on?
After lunch, it felt like I had something stuck between the last two molars. I whipped out the dental floss and yanked out a chunk of my tooth! Of course I completely freaked out. I was convinced there was no way I'd be able to get it fixed and finish this ivf cycle. The thought of a root canal terrifies me.
After awhile, I calmed down. I looked again and realised it's more like a 'chip'. It's from a tooth that has an old filling. I'm assuming that I must have cracked it while grinding/clenching my teeth. I've been a grinding/clenching maniac lately. I ordered a mouth guard from Walgreens, we'll see if it helps. I figure I better have a plan before my dentist insists I get fitted for that crazy looking million dollar mouth guard.
Hopefully they can just re-fill the filling. Hopefully.
Time for the Lupron shot.
