It’s the sort of health scare that terrifies me & that I hadn’t seen

The last check up I had at the dentist she asked if I ground me teeth at night. I replied “No” thinking she was mad but I have had some problems with my teeth not seeming to line up properly and pain in the night when I just wake up because my teeth suddenly hurt. I don’t think I “grind”, my jaw seems to wander off and then when I close my mouth to swallow or whatever, the teeth clash together.

Anyway I put down the pain to worn fillings and ignored it as my dentist also said “some of these are over filled, I should crown them for you” Arrrggg, no - hours in the chair whilst she pokes about. I was thinking about it, but they weren’t good thoughts so I didn’t do anything.

Anyway, I found a suspicious lump in my bran flakes yesterday and half a tooth was floating around suddenly unattached. I got an appointment to get it sorted but not for a couple of days so it was with fear and trepidation I got ready for bed, having lost some more just watching the telly how much tooth would be left after
