The klutz in me strikes again

Long story but I think I can shorthand it.
I have worn Express Rider "Trivette" cowboy boots as my everyday shoe since I was in 8th Grade. I started with a 9 1/2 and long ago settled in at a 10 1/2 (in Men's). My most recent pair were falling apart so I started hunting a new pair which normally means simply keeping an eye open at Walmart for a week or 2 'til they get my 10 1/2s. Well...it seems that they will no longer be carrying them so we have been madly hunting for one last pair of Trivettes so I would have shoes that I could wear socks in to be able to go try on shoes to find new shoes. After hitting several Walmarts with no boots (but I spotted 3 model kits I'm going to have to get) we were getting panicked.  I needed boots and it was getting cold here.  Out of sheer luck I found a pair at the Walmart at home Sat. so I started breaking them in this morning.
The left is never a problem. Seams are right where I need it to flex.  The right is a very different story.  I've never had a right shoe that worked for me as designed.  My foot bends side to side instead of up and down so it takes a couple days to get the boot to fit right. Until then I can't really feel how I'm stepping.
This morning as I was on the steps, locking up to leave I misstepped. fell forward, skinning a spot on my finger and as I discovered later, knocking a hole in the side of my right, upper third molar when my jaw hit the door jamb.. Yay...I had a crack running up the side of it from accidently backhanding myself about 5 years ago. It  doesn't hurt, but it is sharp and odd feeling. I think I may have to find a dentist and have it filled.  
I've NEVER had dental work other than cleaning and the occasional grinding. I've never had a cavity, but I break teeth fairly regularly. Top half of the outside cusps of the second, left, lower molar and the tip of a canine have been broken off.  All 8 incisors have been chipped at some point and 2 could use a little grinding right now.  I' ve been looking around to see what can be done. I don't like needles.  I put enough holes in me by accident. I make a practice of not doing them on purpose unless there is no other option.
Anybody know of something along the lines of tooth spackle?
