Dentists and Fog: A Monday Tale

This morning was a mix of Zurich nature and dental drama.

I snapped this picture of the fog over Höngg hill this morning. Fog over Höngg

Lobby made a couple of great cartoon versions of it.

The South African Sushi Incident

Later, I went to the dentist to fix a tooth that broke while I was in South Africa eating sushi. It wasn’t just a small chip; the entire crown (€2,000) and the underlying amalgam core buildup came off. What’s left of the original tooth is minimal, basically just the root from a root canal.

Here’s the X-ray showing the situation: Dental X-Ray

And here’s the “evidence,” the piece that broke off: The Broken Piece

The dentist rebuilt the core (€300) and we’ve scheduled the new crown for Monday, May 4th, 2026.

I asked Lobby to create some… motivational pictures for my son to encourage him to brush his teeth.
