a tooth


the most interesting way you ever lost one?

Shall I remind you of poor B.J. Hollingsworth in kindergarton that was sucking on a Sugar Daddy and his mean sister yanked it out of his mouth before he was ready and she pulled out ALL of his teeth??? Remember that??? He came back to school and had none. NO teeth.

Not very interesting. But my dad, a dentist, would wiggle my tooth to see how loose it was. And he would pull it out. I learned quickly to hide from him when I had a loose tooth. It would really hurt if the tooth was not ready to come out and he pulled on it.

This doesn't involve losing a tooth...rather the process of relocating it. I had an adult tooth coming down onto another adult tooth. So they cut a hole in the top of my mouth to expose that adult tooth then attached a brace that then connected to my braces to slowly (and painfully) move it correctly into place. After the surgery to "expose" the tooth, they put this clay-like patch over the hole so if wouldn't get food in it. One night I had a friend spend the night...where I woke up with this huge sneezing fit that detached the clay patch from my mouth and sent it flying out to hit my closet door. It hurt like hell. Oh and did I mention that during that same surgery they took out my wisdom teeth. I looked like a semi had played with my face.

The only tooth loss I remember that wasn't simply my tooth falling out during my playing with it was when I was 5 and I decided to munch on an apple. I bit down and my tooth came out. Hooray. I got a dollar for that guy.

I had one tooth that was super loose and it was driving my dad nuts. Since I wouldn't actually pull it out myself he finally insisted on using the floss and doorknob trick. He tied a string of floss to my tooth, tied the other end to the doorknob, and slammed the door. It was quick and painless just like he said it would be. Totally awesome.

sadly i do remember that poor b.j. hollingsworth boy and how we were all worried he wouldn't ever have any teeth but then he grew all of them back and was a really cute boy...
one time my family was in the middle of sacrament meeting at church when my brother came up with the idea of pushing a loose tooth of mine out in hopes of being able to go home early. he pushed it out, my mom too quickly wised up to the situation and was so mad she wouldn't let us leave (not even me by myself to go to the bathroom and spit the blood out) and my dad saw the whole thing from the stand and closed the meeting 5 minutes early so he could take care of me.
