NY mets have a short blurb up on their site about Tom's teeth and
how all of that is going on since his car accident.

Here's the Glavine part:
--------------------
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Tom Glavine can pronounces his S's properly
now, and there is no pain lingering from the taxi accident in which
he was involved last August. But there is dental pain in his future.
Now that a bone graft is complete and permanent post replacements
can be put where the two upper front teeth were knocked out, the
lefty has to have holes drilled in the new bone.
"The bone graft was more painful than the accident," Glavine
said. "And the drilling's probably not going to be fun. So I want to
wait until after the season, probably October, to get it done. Or
hopefully November."
Incidentally, Glavine now fastens his seat belt "within the first
few rolls of the tires." He was fastening his seat belt when the
accident occurred some 30 seconds into his trip.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. LOL. Everytime I read one of these articles about
his teeth my mouth starts hurting. Bone grafts and drilling posts
or whatever? *shudder*
