Yummy Dinner and a Baby Tooth

I made fettuccine with cream sauce and vegetables tonight. Carrots, onion, zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms and fresh basil. It was delicious, and I have leftovers :)


I have a baby tooth. I am congenitally missing my adult second pre-molar, so my 6 year (as in you get it when you are 6 years old) molar is still in place, since it was never pushed aside. When I had braces, my orthodontist was careful to leave it where it was so as not to damage the roots at all. It is the only crooked tooth in my mouth. I knew that I would probably lose this tooth at some point, although my dentist always tells me if I take good care of it I could have it until I'm 50. But seeing the radiographs of this tooth was a little disconcerting. I only have 4mm of root left on this tooth, and compared to its neighbors, it is tiny! I'm also a little worried since my distal root is resorbing itself, I think because I clench my teeth. At least I will be working for a dentist most likely when it does kick the bucket, and I can get an implant put in. Hang in there little guy!
