I’m Free!

 Finally!

 
Today was my last appointment with the dentist. She repaired my broken front tooth, and cleaned and polished my teeth and said I don’t need to go back again until July. Yippeee!
 
I am rather proud of myself that I managed to let her do a little bit of drilling to prep the broken tooth without the need for anesthetic, or to bury myself in music from my iPod. I guess I trust her now, huh?
 
I will take an after picture tomorrow, to compare with the before picture I posted a couple months ago when this all started.
 
Having the front tooth whole and hale again, feels weird and speaking is something I will need to get a handle on again over the next few days. I no longer need to emphasize the S sound because there’s no gap between my teeth anymore.
 
It looks great! Just wish my teeth were not so crooked. Hmmm braces at my age?
 
Here’s a photo I snapped on the way home. I’m going back next week to the same area and I will try and get a better shot of this. This was taken while my car was stopped at traffic lights, so I didn’t have time to set up the shot very well.
 

 
 
 
It’s actually the traffic light control box and painting them like this is a part of a Government initiative to prevent vandalism. It seems to work, too. Next week, I will be on foot and be able to set up the shot a little better, and also take photos of the other sides of the box. 
 
Stay tuned!
