I hate lots of things. One of them is my new(ish) fake, synthetic tooth.

The feeling is way off. Whoever molded it clearly does not know what a tooth really feels like. It instead feels like a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant by whole, and while I’m all for literary allusions, I would prefer a more nonfiction approach to dentistry.

It also tastes like chemicals. I hate that.

I wish I had opted for it’s cheaper, more durable silver counter part instead. I have one of those on the other side of my mouth, because it was in an area where you can’t get the real looking ones and it never bothers me. Over the past 7 years, I have been to the detist about a dozen times and all of those times took place between the past December-February. It’s also notable that the evil one took longer to install.

It looks pretty convincing though. I’ll give it that.
