…NOT! Over the holidays I managed to crack an upper back molar, eventually shedding a large chunk of filling and tooth. (At least it didn’t hurt, and no I was not eating anything hard at the time.)
I got the thing patched up at the dentist this morning, and he informed me that a filling had fallen out of a lower back molar on the other side and needs re-filling, and the premolar two teeth in front of that has a deep crack and needs to be repaired.
Geez Louise, did I own a candy store in a previous life or something? Apparently the dental gods are not very happy with me!

Just got the other two fillings and everything’s just fine. The crack, though extensive, happened along one side of the tooth (where it touches the next tooth), so it was fairly surface-level. No root canals in sight, whew.
