Well I decided to post this. But it's pretty cringeworthy so be warned, lol.
My two front teeth on the top are false (crowns now) because of an accident that happened.... I guess 7 years ago now. O.O it doesn't seem like that long.
Well I was running around outside in the front yard like a typical 13 year old :P
Then, I tripped. Unfortunately the front stairs, which are made of stone, were right in front of me at the time. Turns out, your face doesn't break stone stairs, they break your face XD
My two top front teeth got broken clean in half, and the roots were exposed to the air. I didn't feel anything at first because I guess I was in shock. >.>
So, to the emergency room we went. Well I guess part of one of the teeth had punctured my lower lip or something. So the nurse had me put an ice pack on it. Recall that the roots on the top are exposed at this time. I kind of wanted to throw things at her head.
Well I ended up sitting in a dentist's chair for like 4 hours while he rebuilt my teeth. First they put medication in it to try to keep the teeth alive, since apparently they weren't developed enough to root canal (too wide he said). And they were like that for a while.
When they were able to be root canaled.. well he did it :P The problem is, they were beginning to abcess, so the novacaine had no effect. I had feeling in my teeth when he started the root canal (it hurts, you know). So he had to put novacaine directly in the tooth, or something. Once they were numb it went fine. Then I got fitted and they were crowned.
I guess that's the end of that story, lol. I suck at telling stories apparently :P
In other, slightly less painful news, I spent 6 hours in the computer lab doing my statistics project today. Ug. I'm glad I'll never have to take stats again. So I'm a little burnt out today. I was gonna wait until tomorrow to post this story... but I was bored haha.
I guess that's it for now :P
hugs

While not an example of beautiful, flowing prose that inspires the mind to greater things, your post did at least make me feel a bit ill when I got to the part about the abcesses.
My best friend in middle school fell and broke the end off one of his two front teeth when we were 13, btw.
hmmm, teeth breaking doesn't sound so fun...
omg... *cringes* *shudders* that is terrible! ugh...dental pain is one of those things that i have no tolerance for. my sister broke one of her front teeth when her face met the pavement after taking a header off a skateboard... and i had my two front teeth knocked out of my head wrestling with a friend when i was probably 6 or 7. luckily, there were baby teeth.
Ouch!
On a tangential note, I personally don't trust dentists.
When i was 5 or 6 and at school, i was playing a game with a friend outside where we had to run up to a seat as fast as we could. Like a race.
Well, i tripped over and face-planted the hard, gritty asphalt.
My two front teeth went through the bit of skin between my top lip and my nose. I'm talking right through.
And i still have a scar. :/
Good times.
love
Oh noes D:
*hugs*
OUCH!! >.< Exposed nerves for the lose.
much sympathy, Ive got two crowns myself. I remember the day I had my root canal about 47yrs ago.
hugs,
ken
