I had dental surgery like, a month ago. Posted about it here. Instead of a front tooth I’ve got a metal (titanium I think?) cap sticking out of my gums. The tip of my tongue constantly touches it and I’m really over it.

The weirdest part is every time I brush my teeth it feels cold for like an hour. The button has a female drive to it (I think it’s Torx?) and it holds onto toothpaste.

At least I’m off my no biting things diet. There’s stuff that’s still impractical to eat but I can have sandwiches now.

    Button is a hilarious name for it!

    I have had some implants in the past and currently have two in the button stage and like a month to go before the crowns. Haven’t noticed a temp thing while brushing myself, but dental stuff sure can have some odd feelings while stuff is healing because of all the nerves.
