Fillings

I have some news. My filling has fallen out. Yes, it has. This is kind of annoying as the tooth in question now has a gaping hole I can feel with my tongue. That hole was definitely not there before the dentist got his hands on my mouth. Fillings seem like a good idea until they fail miserably and then you're left with this kind of problem which, frankly, the dentist has just added to by being trigger happy with the drill.

Why do they need to drill away part of the tooth to put the filling in? Before all this started, my teeth all felt normal. Okay, so one apparently needed a filling but it wasn't bothering me. I couldn't tell. But now, it's so bloody obvious to me because my not-too-bad tooth has been drilled away quite casually. It is now like a shell of a tooth than an actual tooth. And another visit to the dentist tomorrow. I guarantee the dentist drills a bit more as well, for no bloody reason. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
