Today I lost half a tooth. Again. Well, I had lost that very half about four years ago, courtesy some tooth decay or something, and today I happened to lose the filling that was very well concealing this gateway into my oral cavity. It was a soft dismissal, considering that the said debacle happened over a measly banana, that I was munching on happily until my tongue noticed hitherto unexplored territory in my upper jaw. A few minutes later, the missing filling was found lodged in a tricky corner in my lower jaw, which I suppose should have been occupied by some tooth that never was. I called up my dentist, whence I came to know that he was just out of the white thing used for filling such holes, and said I could have been lucky had I called about an hour earlier. Perfect timing!
As such, I now have to live a day (night actually, as I shall get this fixed first thing tomorrow) with 31.5 teeth. Well, make that 29.5 actually; I never got all of my wisdom teeth. :P That would be those in the lower jaw. :|

Dont worry mate, u still have lots more teeth than I do! :D
That is still better than a decimal dental count. :D
Why am I not surprised that you never got your 'wisdom' teeth :P
Turns out that what fell off wasn't a filling - that would be the adjacent tooth. The tooth in question here is now dead, and a part of it fell off :( I have to now endure this 'surviving dead half' for another week before I can get it operated upon :P
Dead?! :-o
Just like that! Dead!
Wow.
How did you manage to kill your tooth??? Drank too many aerated 'pesticides' didya?
Btw, wht's with the comment that disappeared frm my blog?
