Sounds like time for an emergency trip to Dr. I Yankem, Painless Dentist for a
course of antibiotics and a possible root canal or extraction.

My dental appointment (for this afternoon, 30 April) was cancelled by the
dental clinic due to construction woes ... to the point where she could not see
patients. Rescheduled for a week hence ... but, I don't have any infection just
a lack of intact teeth. And I was so looking forward to getting going on having
a full (but, removable) set of choppers in my upper jaw.

Something we can manage without teeth ...

      Title: Tropical Fruit Ice
 Categories: Five, Fruits, Citrus
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4 lg Mangoes or cherimoya fruit;
           - peeled, pitted, coarse
           - chopped
           Fine chopped zest of 1
           - orange
  1 1/4 c  Sugar
    1/3 c  Fresh lime juice
      1 c  Water
 
  This simple and delicious recipe, excerpted from Rick Bayless'
  "Mexican Kitchen" (Scribner, 1996), calls for using the still-set
  method rather than an ice cream machine. Bayless writes that any
  not-too-watery tropical fruits such as cherimoya, chicozapote or
  guanabana would make great variations.
  
  Place the mangoes or cherimoya in a food processor; add the orange
  zest, sugar, lime juice and water. Process to a smooth puree. Press
  through a strainer into a stainless steel bowl or a 9- x 9-inch pan.
  
  Freeze until the mixture is firm 2 inches from the sides, about 2
  hours.
  
  Whip with an immersion blender or scrape into a food processor and
  process until slushy.
  
  Repeat the freezing and beating 2 more times, then freeze at least 1
  hour before serving.
  
  It is best to eat the ice within a day, because it will become
  progressively more icy.
  
  If the finished ice has been in the freezer for several hours, soften
  it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
  
  Serves 4
