Dentistry, smentistry

I realized shortly after getting back from China that the chip in my front tooth is back. Argh! All those dentists who insist that their cosmetic reconstruction will be permanent have got to be kidding themselves. Well, it's not too noticeable. This being the second time that a filling has failed to stick in the chip. It gives my smile character! It also means I can seriously tear up meat with a single bite. I wonder what it was that broke it again... Lamb skewers? Steam boat ox stomach? Ah well, back to the dentist. I can also threaten potential attackers with my bite. Come at me and I will take your finger off!
