wowww
i have always wondered, are they able to put teeth back in or do you have to get fake ones to replace them?
Depends on how it goes. *story time!*
It was actually done by my best friend; I was pissing him off by acting like I was going to knock over his tower of those collectible Star Wars Pepsi cans. He got fed up with it and took a swing at my shoulder, but instead I turned into his punch and he hit me square in the mouth (no pain, more like pillows and stars).
At the time I was biting in to an apple. Soon my mouth filled with blood and I was like oh man wth happened. I used my tongue to find the gash that was making it pour, and I found a huge gap in my teethline. Baffled (slightly dazed), I asked a third friend that was there if my teeth were missing. He started laughing his ass off; an obvious yes. They didn't break off; they came out root and all (if you read
this thread, I mentioned my bite pressure; I have very dense teeth that can withstand the pressure, and thus didn't break at the punch).
Soon afterwards I called my mom and was like "Can you come pick me up? Two of my teeth are missing". I was worried I swallowed them but we found them in the pile of apple guts I was getting into. Went to the dentist, he shoved them back in there, and I endured months of dental surgery to keep them implanted.
Fast forward a year or so and I started getting what I can only describe as pus bubbles on my gums above those teeth; my teeth were rotting beneath the gumline. It didn't hurt because I had no nerves for those teeth anymore. A couple weeks later I went in to have them pulled out. I then had what was basically a retainer with teeth on them for about 7 months until my gums receded so they knew how high to make the fake teeth. I enjoyed popping them out to freak out classmates.
Those months passed, and then they grinded down the ones next to them and I now have a bridge that has lasted me 8 years now.
