Egg Shells

Speaking of problems with food, last night I was eating some kind of noodle thing and I bit down into something unexpectedly hard. I guess it was an egg shell, though it could have been some sort of clump of salt also. I think I may have cracked one of the fillings, or crowns or something on one of my teeth since it's been a little sensitive since then. It doesn't really hurt, but it doesn't feel right either. I'm going to try to wait till I go back to the US to have someone look at it since I don't exactly trust the dentists around here and I'll be back in almost exactly a month. Some Chinese people have truly terrible teeth, though that's probably from not ever brushing and never seeing a dentist. I've had a hard time looking some people in the face when they talk and reveal about six misshapen yellow teeth. The students are mostly OK in terms of teeth though I definitly see some people who could badly have used a set of braces when they were younger. If it starts to really hurt I'll go try and find a dentist, I'm not exactly one to suffer in silence after all, but for now I think it's OK.
