"My Tooth Just Exploded"

I had a strange feeling in my mouth, like something was stuck between two molars in the upper left quadrant, so I pried at whatever it was with my thumb and forefinger until it gave way with a nasty sounding crack. Turns out it was actually part of my tooth, which, once this small wedge-shaped part came away completely, then proceeded to self-detonate into tiny shards.

Now there's a big hole where that tooth once sat, and having spat out the detritus along with a copious amount of blood and whatever else there was, I'm off to the dentist to see if he has any spare gallon drums of morphine kicking about.

Being optimistic, I guess at least that that tooth will never do the same thing again, leading me to the conclusion that there is a God after all.

If any of you see the Tooth Fairy running about with a pack of C4 explosive and detonators, please do the right thing and splat her with something suitably heavy.

I'll be back.

Sans tooth.

My tooth also just exploded.


Well, not exploded as such. I've just chipped it, that's all. Thing is, I have absolutely no idea how I did it. It's one of the lower incisors on the left, just next to the canine. Just a bit missing from the top of it now. It doesn't hurt, suprisingly, but it is very, very annoying. Might have to go see the dentist about it soon.

Replace your tooth with some playdough, and no one will ever know the difference.

How much do they cost?

Get a Gold tooth. Then your mouth will be valuable.

When my back teeth started falling out when I was about 12, I remember I pulled one out, which had been loose, and immediatly the one next to it dropped out. Turns out it had been ready to go for a while, but was wedged between the teeth on either side. When the first one went, it plopped out... along with about a pint of blood. Nice

If the tooth exploded, does this mean the tooth fairy will not be paying for it?

Either way, I suggest laying off the RDX chewing gum for a while.

Should you not have noticed something was playing up with your tooth?

Now it died

I bet if you were a working man you'd notice ;)

That sounds both gross and fun.

I'm sticking with the hole, au naturel. No falsies for me.

I figure it's more fun that way because now I can chew gum and have endless fun trying to prise it out of the gap.
