| My mum had a dead tooth for about 20 years, it was functional but slightly darker in colour than the ones near it. Eventually part of it chipped off, I don't know if that was because it was dead or not but I remember she took a bite of an apple and part of her tooth snapped off. She didn't even notice when it happened because of not being able to feel it. I hope stuff goes well for you with the insurance company, dental work can be so expensive |

It's alright to feel sorry for a tooth, isn't it?
Poor little fellow. |

| I have a chipped tooth. The chip is very small. I got it by opening a beer bottle with my teeth. My boyfriend is missing several teeth. He really needs to see a dentist, but he can't because he has no insurance. It's weird how his teeth fall out without causing him any apparent pain. |

I had a dead tooth that was pulled. Now I have a hole that I can blow air from (wee~). It was chipping before I got it removed and hurt for a while. Now I have a very small chip in one of my front teeth from being hit by my own hair beads. They were sea shells and quite hard.
I also went to a specialist (dental surgeon) to have my wisdom teeth removed, because they were very close to nerves and there was a risk of (semi-permanent to permanent) paralysis. Luckly everything went great.
In general I hate going to the dentist (even for cleaning). I hate the smell, it always hurts (no matter what they do), I've had problems since I was little so I go far too often, etc. The only good part is the pressure of the lead blanket they use for x-rays.  |

I'm not sure if my tooth is dead, or bruised, or what. You can't really see it in my avatar, cuz of the light, but it's the left front tooth on the top row. When I was in 6th grade I ran down the slide and smashed into a kid smaller than me, and I basically stabbed his skull with my tooth. I was actually in all the pain, blood all over, and he was just aching a bit. He has a small scar, I still have a dark tooth right in the front.
I'm still a little embarassed of the tooth, and strangely enough it has made me more critical, or at least more noticing, of other peoples' tooth faults, though I don't really care, I almost like them more for it. I'm weird. Hahaha. |
