What Should You Do If Your Temporary Crown Breaks?

Temporary crowns, valiant little soldiers standing guard until their permanent counterparts arrive, sometimes meet their maker before the final crown ceremony. While a broken temporary crown can be stressful, knowing the right steps can transform this dental detour into a manageable blip.

Calming the Cracked Crown Chaos

First, take a deep breath. Panic won't mend the crown, but a clear head will guide you through the next steps. Assess the situation:

Is the crown completely broken? If yes, locate the pieces if possible.

Is it loose or cracked but still on the tooth? If yes, avoid chewing on that side and be extra gentle with your mouth.

Is there pain or sensitivity? Note the severity and location for your dentist.

Contacting Your Dental Cavalry

Next, reach out to your dentist! Their expertise is key to navigating this crown conundrum. Depending on the situation, they may:

Schedule you for a prompt appointment to reattach or replace the temporary crown.

Offer temporary solutions like over-the-counter dental cement or clove oil for pain relief.

Advise leaving the crown off if the exposed tooth isn't causing issues, with a follow-up appointment soon.

Temporary Fixes for Temporary Woes

While waiting for your dental appointment, some gentle self-care can help:

Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage.

Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean.

Use over-the-counter pain relievers if needed, following the recommended dosage.

Avoid hot and cold foods and drinks that can irritate the sensitive tooth.

Be extra mindful of oral hygiene to prevent infection.

Preventing Future Fractures

Knowing why your temporary crown met its demise can help prevent future mishaps:

Chewing hard foods or ice can put undue stress on the temporary crown.

Clenching or grinding your teeth can also lead to cracks and breaks.

Using your teeth to open things is a recipe for disaster, temporary or permanent crown alike.

By following these tips and listening to your dentist's advice, you can navigate a broken temporary crown like a dental pro. Remember, temporary crowns are just that – temporary. While they play a crucial role in protecting your tooth, they're not invincible. With a little care and quick action, you can overcome this bumpy road and greet your permanent crown with a smile (even if it's a slightly sensitive one!).

Bonus Tip: Consider keeping a "dental emergency kit" on hand with over-the-counter pain relievers, clove oil, and temporary dental cement – just in case a crown decides to take an early vacation!

Stepin Fetchit

Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985), better known by the stage name Stepin Fetchit, was an American vaudevillian, comedian, and film actor of Jamaican and Bahamian descent, considered to be the first black actor to have a successful film career. His highest profile was during the 1930s in films and on stage, when his persona of Stepin Fetchit was billed as the "Laziest Man in the World".

Perry parlayed the Fetchit persona into a successful film career, becoming the first black actor to earn $1 million. He was also the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film.

Perry's film career slowed after 1939 and nearly stopped altogether after 1953. Around that time, Black Americans began to see his Stepin Fetchit persona as an embarrassing and harmful anachronism, echoing negative stereotypes. However, the Stepin Fetchit character has undergone a re-evaluation by some scholars in recent times, who view him as an embodiment of the trickster archetype.

Little is known about Perry's background other than that he was born in Key West, Florida, to West Indian immigrants. He was the second child of Joseph Perry, a cigar maker from Jamaica (although some sources indicate the Bahamas) and Dora Monroe, a seamstress from Nassau, The Bahamas. Both of his parents came to the United States in the 1890s, where they married. By 1910, the family had moved north to Tampa, Florida. Another source says he was adopted when he was 11 years old and taken to live in Montgomery, Alabama.

His mother wanted him to be a dentist, so Perry was adopted by a quack dentist, for whom he blacked boots before running away at age 12 to join a carnival. He earned his living for a few years as a singer and tap dancer.

clearly better than john o'shea in every way

apparently he is also a dentist??

cool name

cons:

his last job was managing jamaica who lost every game at the copa america

not bald

pros outweigh the cons im backing him let’s go heimir

[momo-t-daye]

For the ask game - 1, 8, 12, 16, 19, 23, 25, 28, 32, 34, 37, 40 😁 just threw a bunch of numbers in there because I love your opinions!

1. Canon I outright reject

You know, I don’t think there’s anything in the books about Snape that I outright reject all the time (I can’t say as much about the movies because I am very bad at paying attention to movies and didn’t watch all of them but the movies aren’t exactly canon).  There’s plenty of things I like to use as divergence points, to think about how this or that change would alter a character’s trajectory and whether that would be sufficient to escape the gravitational pull of the narrative, but I tend to think of canon as a scaffold and fanwork as a mirror (kind of like those mirrors dentists use to look at things you can’t see directly you know?  But also in a funhouse way because I enjoy silliness).

8. Unpopular opinion about them

Hm…. Snape is a very very weird dude who has never been anywhere near “cool” in his life and a virtuoso petty asshole, but that’s what I enjoy about him as a character???

I don’t think he’d be able to live alone in the woods/Jamaica/Antartica/etc. relishing his well-earned peace and quiet. He needs other people around him, partially as an audience to see just how little he needs those other people and partially because there is nothing quite so energizing and enjoyable as intentionally annoying other people (I’m not saying he’s an extrovert, but he sure isn’t 100% pure introvert either…)

12. Crack headcanon

He sleeps with his eyes open. He is only aware that he sleeps with his eyes open after Lily (on behalf of a too terrified Tuney) asked him why he did that.

As a kid he was very proud of his ability to mentally calculate a running total cost even though he had no money or intention to pay for his parma violets.  He dislikes decimalisation, which hit shortly before he went to Hogwarts (because other people keep insisting that base-10 is so much easier to use), and value-added tax, which hit while he was in Hogwarts (because it messes with his mental math and budgeting).

16. Deepest darkest secret they won’t even admit to themselves

He desperately wants his father’s approval.  No matter what praise Albus Dumbledore or Lord Voldemort or any other substitute father figure might place on him, the unobtainable opinion of a working-class muggle man holds so much more weight.

Has everyone seen this lovely picture by the very talented @sneverussape?

19. Vices/bad habits

Severus lives off of spite (not a brassica vegetable despite what he might tell Madame Pomfrey), black coffee, and cheap cigarettes.  He avoids alcohol, if only because of his father, but he has his own addictions (one of which is self-denial). 

23. If they were a scented candle, what would they smell like?

As an adult in Harry’s era, rust and withered grass- the disquieting hint of blood spilled and the temporary sweetness of chaff left behind after the harvest would smell like being haunted by a time that has already passed.

For my self-indulgent AU young Sev I think there’d be more river muck and apples ripe for scrumping.

25. 3 things they’d want to take with them if they were dropped off in the middle of nowhere

Severus would try to claim that a full set of cauldrons and a closet full of potions ingredients should only count as two items and his wand could be his third item.  Whatever magical entity or event that was dropping him in the middle of nowhere would probably not agree.  His next attempt (his wand, a portkey back to his quarters at Hogwarts and/or Malfoy Manor and/or Spinner’s end, and a well-stocked RV to wait in until the Portkey was ready to go) would get his ass dropped in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the clothes on his back (if he’s lucky).  He’d survive just fine and get back to somewhere other than “the middle of nowhere”, but he won’t have fun and anyone he encountered on his way out of the middle of nowhere wouldn’t have fun and everyone is back home is going to know just how little fun he had getting dropped in the middle of nowhere.

(He grew up with so little, he has a bit of a tendency to hold onto whatever he has and be deeply suspicious of anyone trying to make him pare his belongings down.  Yet in the 1997-1998 school year, he spent his time slowly winnowing down his belongings and tidying up his affairs on the assumption that he would not survive and no one would want to or care to clean up after him).

28. How they feel about [insert character of your choice from the same fandom]

Instead of rambling about Sev and Lily and how they were best friends and how much I want to jump up and down and scream that they were best friends and how entangled and enmeshed one can get within the intensity of childhood friendship, I think I’ll plunk Nymphadora Tonks in those brackets!

He thinks Tonks is wasting her talents working as an Auror for the Ministry, claims her habit of mimicking him was deeply annoying even if it did come in handy when he needed to supervise three detentions (including hers) at once, and professes complete disinterest even though he refuses to use any mug in the staff room other than the humorously oversized “student’s tears” mug her NEWTs cohort bought for him.

…at some point I’ll get around to writing a one-shot about how Nymphadora Tonks became one of the leading experts on Polyjuice Potion that I’ve had semi-outlined for over a year now… 

32. Something guaranteed to make them smile/laugh

Ooh, this is a tough one- particularly for Harry-era Severus Snape!

I think when a student who has been trying and putting the effort in suddenly gets it, when something clicks and they get excited about the implications and the possibilities provided by potions.  He isn’t equipped to deal with impatient and distractible children that treat his subject as mandatory torture, but someone else being excited about academic points and caring and being a nerd about someone he cares about?  I think that would make him smile.

34. How they react when they are feeling X emotion (sad, angry, excited, scared, etc.—can specify as many as you like)

As a kid, I think he talked with his hands (particularly after meeting Lily who talked with her hands and never got walloped for taking up space) and the more excited he became the more his hands and arms moved trying to corral the world into his enthusiasm.  There were times when Severus and Lily were both so excited Tuney would swear there were seven hands waving around between the two of them.

A great deal froze on Halloween 1981, calcified, and many emotions could only exit via the anger expressway.

37. What they really think about themselves

Oof…

Especially as an adult, Severus does not think very good things about himself.

I think, as an act of self-defense, he tries very hard to not think about himself at all…

40. Favorite book

Not a book, but still media: I think Star Trek aired on the BBC at a very formative time for Severus.  As a Hogwarts student (and after) he probably scoffed at fantasy fiction for not portraying magic as he knew magic, but science fiction was something he could sink into.  Did he try to recreate melange/spice from Dune in his third year?  Maybe. Is he mortally offended that Harry only knows Dune as “that movie with Sting wearing the, uh, you know, the, erm, well, thingy…”?  Yes.

20 PATRON CELEBRATION DUMP

Hey y'all!!

Thank you guys so much for 20 members!! I know that might not sound like a lot, but I seriously never thought I'd get this far. Especially with the wigga. 😅

Seriously though, thank y'all so, so much for all the support you've given me. Here's to better things all 2024 and beyond!

To celebrate getting 20 members, here's a simple, miscellaneous dump. You get three cosmetics, a string mod, a career, a sim, and a build buy item. Enjoy!!

VICTORIA BROWS

PRETTY GIRL MOLES

FOUR HORSEMEN TATTOOS

- Hand traced from the OG pics

- Three swatches for each design

DIASPORA FLAGS

- 79 swatches, 6 dividers

- EA Mesh

PRETTY GOOD DISH OVERRIDE

Small string mod to replace the "fairly tasty dish" text in the moodlet.

VENEER TECH CAREER

Were you the child who gave their parents makeovers they didn't have the heart to tell you were bad? Do you want to feel as important as a doctor but don't want to waste your time on boring topics like gum disease? Are you a sadist?

If you fall into any - or all - of these categories, you'll love being a veneer tech.

Just because you ain't on some board doesn't mean you can't make board money! All you really need is some glue, gloves, and Invisalign, anyway!

Hell, if people cared about taking advantage of people, half the businesses out now would be closed. Shops shut all the way up. You deserve to get your bag too, right?

...maybe your first investment should be a lawyer.

This is a base game-esque career with four levels and two branches. Y'all know I am very new, and I couldn't find a tutorial on how to make active careers, so I apologize in advance for it being so bare. :(

I do hope y'all enjoy though!

Levels:

You just got your online certificate from the 6 hour seminar your favorite TikToker hosted and are now ready to service the streets with your dental expertise. The only problem is you don't have no expertise and are not a dentist.

But if that didn't stop your "mentor", why should it stop you? Try and make something shake for a little while. Worst comes to worst, you gotta flee the state... or the country...

...you really should look into that lawyer, friend.

Shade Room Famous

Due to the rampant amount of horror stories you have, your face is now plastered all over The Shade Room, the largest urban gossip blog in all of the US.

But to your surprise and mine tool - it seems like the saying about all attention is true, because people are now lined up your block waiting for the Smilez special.

Guess all you can do now is make sure your career lasts longer than your teeth.

Viral on TikTok

Fame looka nice on you, doesn't it? At least online fame does. After getting some shine on Shade Room, Hollywood Unlocked, The Neighborhood Talk, and even more, you've managed to rack up one million followers on TikTok. You're almost ready to release your own seminar!

Be careful, though, newfound fame brings newfound opposition. And with your multiple medical and ethical violations it won't take much to get unplugged.

The Plug

After all of the hours of hard scamming you put in, you've done it. You've got the fame, the fortune, the mid-tier rapper/influencer connections, and about 21 different YouTube videos about your crimes.

The only thing to do now is sit back, count up, and not get indicted.

And hey, if that doesn't work? At least you're making enough for a one way to Jamaica.

Branches:

Celebrity Scammer

Now, about that mid-tier clientele you had...

They are all big time now. And so are you! You've 'hustled' and 'grinded' your way to the big leagues.

No more barbershops. You're doing Future's teeth in the back of your mansion. Their teeth may decay, but your star certainly isn't!

It doesn't even matter how many people say you scamming. Or how many horror stories have turned into full on nightmares.

You're the Dr. Miami of teeth now. Can't nobody say anything about that!

Seminar Leader

Now, about that seminar you said you were gon start...

You did. In fact, the only two options on your website are to book and to, well, book.

In doing so, not only have you managed to stack up even more, but now you look wise and charitible to 5% of Instagram users. Win win!

It doesn't matter if most people think you still scamming. Or the fact you don't send out all the invites to people who signed up.

You're a business person now. Can't nobody say nothing about that!

We are proud to bring our patients a one-stop dental shop and an outstanding level of service in a warm, welcoming environment. Our practice is led by Dr. Maximilian Marks, whose family has been involved in the dentistry field in some capacity for over 100 years. Dr. Marks is a graduate of NYU Dental School and went on to perform his residency at Jamaica Hospital. Part of the reason why Dr. Marks chose to continue his family’s legacy of working in the dental field was to help patients with dental-related anxiety feel calm and relaxed. That’s why he has worked diligently to master a pain-free numbing injection technique to help his patients who are nervous about going to the dentist.

Flossing Hacks: Making Flossing Fun & Effective

Flossing: the bane of many a dental routine. It's often seen as tedious, time-consuming, and even downright unpleasant. But did you know that flossing is just as important as brushing for maintaining good oral health? It removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth, where your toothbrush can't reach. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

So, how can we make flossing more fun and effective? Here are a few hacks:

1. Choose the right floss.

There are many different types of floss on the market, so find one that you like. You can try waxed floss, unwaxed floss, flavored floss, or even water flossers. Experiment until you find one that is easy to use and comfortable on your gums.

2. Make it a routine.

The best way to make flossing a habit is to do it at the same time each day, like after breakfast or before bed. You can also set a timer for two minutes to make sure you're flossing for the recommended amount of time.

3. Get creative.

There are no hard and fast rules about how to floss. Some people find it easier to floss one tooth at a time, while others prefer to floss in sections. You can also try flossing while you're watching TV or listening to music.

4. Reward yourself.

If you're struggling to stick with flossing, give yourself a reward for doing it. This could be anything from a small treat to a new pack of floss.

5. See your dentist.

Your dentist can show you the proper way to floss and answer any questions you have. They can also recommend products that can help you floss more effectively.

Making flossing a fun and effective part of your dental routine is important for your oral health. By following these tips, you can make flossing something you actually look forward to.

About Me

Hello, I go by Karmaui here. I'm 20 and I've decided to make this side blog to uhhh, be my diary. This is where I'll... talk about my day, complain, and maybe save my dreams here. I'll probably overshare from time to time.

Uhm, I go by any pronouns (she/they/he). Sorry for being avoidant about my major, but it is mostly engineering classes. I'm a black Canadian; my parents are from Jamaica. Uh, I don't really have much interests, but I play Ensemble Stars and Project Sekai often. I'm the type to learn everything about a media from just reading the fandom wiki. I also don't know what career I'd like to pursue. I'm an ESTP by cognitive functions but an ISTP by letters alone.

I can easily identify the things I don't like:

✎ Cheese

✎ Coconut

✎ Brussel sprouts

✎ Group work

✎ Taking initiative

✎ Phone calls with people outside of immediate family

✎ My stomach growling in class

✎ Homework

✎ The bank

And it takes me some time to think of things I do like:

✎ Family

✎ Friends

✎ Sleeping

✎ Windy days

✎ The dentist

✎ Mangoes

✎ Ice skating

I don't think I take horrible care of myself, but I think it is a liiittle below average. If you stick around, you may find me to be a bit pathetic. Hm, maybe a lot, but I do love myself (just not enough to put in the proper effort of caring for myself)! Now, I'm getting sleepy and think this is going on for too long.

Godspeed.
