Teeths
LittleZephyr: Tuesday, April 19th, 2005Ahh. Childhood injuries always make good conversational topics later on in life:
When I was 8 or 9, my family got home from some kind of out of town trip. My pent up energies took the best of me so I decided to run around and finally contented myself by swinging between two adjacent cars’ door handles.
One swing too hard and I found my self laying face down on the asphalt with a dull pain in my mouth and pool of blood forming under my face. Standing up I found a shocked look on a sister face while I was dragged inside my the parents.
Appearing inside I found myself missing around half of the front tooth that took the impact and a chip off the other. Weeks later I get a crown on the broken one and leave the chipped one as is. Months later I find the root of the chipped one has died as the tooth turns a sickly gray.
Years later I find that the root of the broken one has started an infection in my face and bones. X-Rays and examinations determine that a small amount of bone has been eaten away by the infection. I had surgery to remove the broken tooth, and additional bone mineral inserted into my face.
I now have a partial denture (what they call a flipper): I wear out of the house. It’s always good for popping out at parties to scare small children.
You finally got the flipper?! Pictures, please! That has got to be the absolutly coolest thing in the entire world….
I’ve had the flipper for over a year now, it’s nothing particularly special. Looks pretty much like a tooth from the outside, and a disimbodied piece of mouth flesh when taken out.
But it’s an awesome party trick!

I think everyone should have something to completely turn off anyone they are around that might be annoying. I had to scare away an annoying guy with it who was trying to cheat off an APUSH test.
I still want pictures.
Maybe.
what in the world is a flipper.
