My eye-teeth fell out yesterday. I was born without my permanent eye-teeth, so they are really just fake teeth attached to my bridge. I felt like it was loose for the last week or so, but it actually popped out when I was eating crackers yesterday. Luckily, I was able to pop it back in. I have NO idea what is holding the damn thing in right now, but I’m grateful for whatever it is. Maybe the pagan sacrifice I made to the dental gods yesterday? I don’t know. Regardless, I cried like a BABY when the damn thing fell out. I was just so EMBARASSED. Isnt that hideous? I was so humiliated at the idea of being without my eye teeth that I CRIED when they popped out.
You are laughing at me and my toothless,humiliated self, arent you?
Well, my dentist is squeezing me in today at 3:30pm for a re-glue. Thank god. One of these days I’ll find the three thousand dollars it will take to give me a permanent replacement. But not today. Today? I’ll just make a date with Mr. Elmer’s.
That is so sad and yet so funny. I would have died had it been me, and died laughing had I been there
Good luck at the dentist! And here’s to winning the lottery for a nice new house and pearly whites!
WAY back in the day when I was about your age, hubby and I were jiving at a bar and my hand slipped out of his, I fell backwards on my ass, and my jaw snapped shut as I landed, leaving me with a bridge that had turned to dust in my mouth. This bridge was my 4 upper front teeth. I had 2 gaps and 2 pegs….NICE!
Ah thanks for reminding me that I have to go to the dentist soon. I keep putting it off.
I still have 4 baby teeth. I’m 28. No adult teeth are there to push them out, so I still have them.
I think I’d cry, too.
Hey, at least you’re talking about the eye teeth, the ones you can see. I’m missing two molars in the back of my mouth, and I’m, for some reason I can’t explained, terribly ashamed of that fact.
You poor thing! Having to call the dentist for an emergency anything is a bummer. Hang in there.
Not laughing. That sucks. My daughter has a few of teeth like that, permanent adult teeth to push out the baby teeth.
my mom was eating something relatively soft, like lettuce or mashed potatoes or it might have been soup, this summer, and one of her teeth (which was very much real and adult, just crumbled and fell out. i laughed so hard and she cried and then i felt bad - she didn’t think it was funny.
she got it fixed and she’s still sensitive about it.
i’m missing 7 adult teeth and still have baby teeth, and i am not looking forward to the day they have to pull them and put in fake teeth….
but, i am from kentucky, so what can you expect?
Poor Miss Zoot. I’ve had lots of teeth-trauma, so I’m not laughing at you at all. Good luck at the dentist.
Aw, poor Zoot. This is the second entry over the months where you’ve had teeth related embarrassment. I wish you didn’t feel bad about it. It’s not like your tooth popping out is a reflection on your moral character or something. George Washington didn’t have his own teeth and look at what a great guy he was. (Hey, I tied the holiday into my comment, heh.)
That scares the crap out of me–I constantly have nightmares that I have lost a tooth! Though since I wasn’t sure exactly which teeth were eye teeth, I just turned to my husband and said “Are your eye teeth the ones BESIDE your front teeth…or are they the pointy ones beside those?”
Im not laughing…..really Im not. Sorry that happened to you. Good luck at the Dentist!
I went to the dentist today too… had a sore mouth and come to find out I had cracked a back tooth ( owwie!) As for the eyeteeth I had a friend once who used to take hers out at parties when we were younger ( Her orthodontist had them pulled when he fitted her with braces thinking she had another permanent set a big mess up on his part no others grew in ) she had a removeable bridge thingy… how funny… I have always admired your pretty choppers…
Urgh $3,000 to get it permanently fixed. What a rip off. If you need to have it done Capital One has this handy little dental loan program. I used it when I had to have an emergency $1500 crown put on.
Hope the dentist went well.
I would never laugh at your toothless self. I would, however, laugh if you had a booger hanging from your nose. But, that’s just me!
Did this JUST happen not to long ago?GOOD LORD WHAT ARE THOSE CRACKERS MADE OF?
I would never laugh AT you! (I would however, laugh WITH you).
Ok, what the heck are “eye-teeth”? If they fall out do you have trouble seeing what you are saying?
