I suppose my body is showing signs of age. My tendons and bands are not particularly keen on my running habits. I need increasing amount of help with seeing things. And my teeth are crumbling. And that started many years ago, but there may be an acceleration now.
It started when I was still in Norway! I was a bit taken aback, but well, nobody died, so I left it the way it was. The next time something like that happened was in 2015, and that time I went to the dentist to have the fallen piece replaced by some filler. And I liked the result.
Nothing that happened for six years. But in 2021, another piece broke off. So I again had it repaired by the dentist. I seemed to be on a six year rotation! But before 2024 was over, it had happened again. I suspect that this time, it was one of the old repairs that had come off, and not an original piece of tooth. And I had a dentist’s appointment scheduled for January anyway, so I figured that would be a good moment have the piece of filler put back.
It's been done now! My tooth feels good again. It had a bit of a sharp edge, and it felt a bit vulnerable, but now everything feels smooth and resilient again. But we'll see! This time series is too short to diagnose whether the crumbling rate of my teeth is actually experiencing an acceleration, but it would make sense it is. It's not as if your teeth get better with age! We'll see how this progresses. It would be nice if I get back to my six year schedule, rather than this three year malarkey…
