My crown shattered in the first couple days of my five-week trip to the USA; a nice dentist gave me a temporary crown for free (!!!) which made the rest of my trip NOT SUCK.

As of today, I have a permanent crown replacing the temporary one.

On the minus side, I grind my teeth so badly that I weaken ceramic crowns. So this one's a metal one, and now I'm that much closer to becoming a steel-mouthed Bond henchman.

I have re-adopted my night guard with nearly religious zealotry, thanks. I had gone a couple of months without it, and I'm pretty sure that this was the result. I'd never heard the term "bruxe" before - I see "bruxism" is what I'm doing; thanks for the lead.

Right now I'm happy to have a crown which is shaped like a real tooth, glued in there permanently, and unlikely to end up in my bacon, like the last one did. I like my bacon crunchy, but not that crunchy.

A bite splint/night guard can literally save you thousands of dollars. It's a very good investment. Even if you don't get one created for you by a dentist, which can be expensive depending on your insurance plan, you can just pick up one from CVS or a sports store for less than $30.

I grinded the shit out of my teeth as a teenager. Within the next ten years, I need to get about a dozen teeth capped. $30 up front could have saved me $10,000. Get the night guard.

Definitely advice for everyone but yea.

When I worked at a dental office we had a two patients who ended up biting through their night guards. One was a marine who was deployed in Afghanistan, the other was a Peace Corps volunteer; both had it for a year or so before breaking it. I can't even imagine the stress required to bite through that shit.

Yeah, I've worn a hole in one tooth during my lapsed, no-night-guard period. I can't picture going through the guard, though. Wow.

Had a disciplinary meeting with my lab director that my supervisor warned me about and ended up with a raise of a few grand (still make less than $40k). Just basically said that my supervisor isn't bad but that I need to be frank about inefficiencies. Didn't mention the backbiting horror of working in a department of mostly women.

Got up, went and worked on a farm, attended a predatory meeting for parents of students who'll study abroad in America -- wherein a Japanese person told me what a "tip" is and how to pay them, attended a funeral, and cleaned my house in preparation for visiting guests from the USA.

Changed clothes five times today.

Not sure if this is for the struggle or triumph thread.

I paid tens of thousands of USD in taxes over the last 15 months and I still would not get shit if I get fired today because I'm married.

Unemployment benefits aren't automatic here, you need to pay for them on top of normal taxes.

So yeah having a kid and a home I am looking forward to the moment when I won't have to worry that if I don't hit my target and get sacked my wife would be the only one responsible for bills yeah. It will make me sleep better at night and be a happier dad and husband.
