Things that are not completely fucked. Marvels of modern life.

Modern dentistry. Fucking amazing, with minimal/no pain.

I broke a tooth last night. Pretty big chunk. Took the dude 20 minutes to fix it with some miracle material. Initially it was soft enough for him to mold into the huge hole in the tooth. Flashed some light on it, and within a couple of minutes, it was firm enough for him to model and smooth out with a power tool. Flash it with another frequency of light, and after a couple more minutes it further hardened to be ready for use. No restrictions on chewing/eating at all. Will last for months. And painless. Local anesthesia administered with a computerized needle injection system I literally did not feel. Wore off after 30-40 minutes.

The digital x-ray imaging system is another wonder. I can't believe how easy visits to the dentist, even for emergencies like this, has become.

Seconded. I watched the dentist create two brand-new teeth in my son's mouth the same way after he had chipped pieces of his front teeth out two years ago. Started with what looked like a little lump of white clay and carved two perfect teeth. Amazing.

The new white filling stuff sucks imo. But that may not be what you guys are talking about.

I've had my filled in tooth ... 14? ... years and its not the best and the process sucked back then but I also fell face first out of a bar and jammed my front teeth up into my jaw rather than back into my mouth which is the reason I didn't lose any and they had to bind the front four all together until they regained their rooting and then later had to un-bind them using what can best be described as serrated floss and it was the worst experience of my life and to this day I'm terrified of the dentist or anyone touching my teeth. Thanks for reading.
