I’ve always had good teeth. I’ve been lucky. But my teeth are telling me I’m getting old. I lost a filling in the Philippines but my tooth didn’t ache. Thank you tooth fairy or God or whoever. Last Sunday I went to a girls’ lunch. ( old women) A filling fell out and possibly half of the tooth as well. Once again, I was lucky. It didn’t ache. But the jagged edges of the tooth cut my tongue to shreds. I hightailed it to the dentist the next day who refilled the tooth. My tongue is almost recovered.
