Some life maintenance 4-27-15

Two weeks ago while eating lunch in the courtyard of the Louvre.  I broke a back molar while eating a ham sandwich made with crusty bread .  It was on a tooth that had been filled around 50 years ago, so it was not unthought of, but a bit surprising due to timing.  It didn't hurt or anything but it would require treatment.  We called a dentist (who speaks English) and made an appointment for two days following.   He was able to remove the old filling, and create a cast for a new bonded replacement for the filling and tooth.  Then a temporary to get me through the Brussels trip.

Today I got the new permanent replacement, he guaranteed the work and felt that the bonding would work well.   If it doesn't then there is always time to put on a crown.  So a less expensive adventure than it might have been.

Afterwards since his office is very near where we once had a house exchange I visited a creperie that was a favorite of ours back then.










On the way back I spotted this exhibition of artwork created from slabs of the Berlin wall.  Very interesting.  (see the one above)

And I haven't had a bit of problem since.   See it's just like real life here, both good and not so good.
