Tooth Story (Warning, Nasty Story!)

The shark fin-looking adult tooth in the bottom of my mouth is loose and whenever I bite into something it hurts. There is no blood, but I want it to stay in my mouth.



When I was about eight, a front top tooth was loose because I had bit into something that was too thick, and it was bothering the egg cream out of me. One day I couldn't take it anymore.While I was watching TV in my room, and wiggling my bloody tooth with a napkin I got up and stood in front of my bathroom mirror and yanked it right out. It hurt intensely for about five seconds, but then it stopped. There was a pink, bloody crater in my mouth where my baby tooth used to be.

Then again, when I was nine, at another school, my mom had packed me some nasty gluten free sticky grape fruit bar, and when I bit on it I shoved the tooth in the wrong direction, and it became loose. I'd already lost so many teeth and wasn't sure if this one was an adult or a baby. The next day after school, once again I yanked it out of my mouth. Ha, that tooth was only loose for about thirty-four hours! Again, there was a bloody pink crater. Only this time it was a bottom tooth. After I washed my hands, I put on sterile gloves because I love to put my finger in the crater to see if the meat is tender. If it is, I stop touching it.

  2. How many teeth were left? I'm sorry about what happened to you. It seems like you had a terrible story about your teeth. But there's a rainbow always after the rain. Take extra care with your teeth or you might end up losing all of them. We don't want that to happen, right?

  3. You've suffered two years of pain, those two stories were horrifying. I remember, when I was young, mom also used to pack me some lunchbox full of apples and bananas, LOL. She knows I like them.
