That’s not a tooth, that’s a headcrab from Half Life.

Ouch! That thing looks viscious – hope you feel better soon.

Dr. David recommends some homemade applesauce – it won’t cure anything, but it’ll taste good and be a lot more pleasant than oral surgery…

To all of you loyal Coyote fans out there, let me tell you that his daughter comes by her dental nightmare naturally. All of the Coyote siblings had horrible teeth issues, Coyote’s being the freakin’ worst. We were all spectacularly awkward middle school kids anyway, only to be made worse by huge, strange teeth. I think Warren had ongoing orthodontic care from the womb until he got that PU diploma.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind and funny comments. It hurt like crazy to get that tooth yanked out! I cant believe so many people are entertained by a demented tooth. That’s cool. And to anyone who thinks that the tooth it not that bad all I can say is YOUR WRONG!
It is cool to be a blogger’s daughter!

A schoolmate once told me of a friend whose voice was very nasal. The lad later had two upper teeth removed, and the roots were so long they’d grown into the sinuses. He spoke perfectly normally after that.

I guess that in the Great Deflation, the medical professions will hold up better than most.

Merry Christmas!

Sorry to hear your daughter had such a bad experience with that tooth.

I had one removed about 17 years ago that my dentist could not get out for love nor money. Took an x-ray and all the roots were growing outward at such an angle(similar to your picture but at more of an angle and like hooks rather than arches) that he had to drill the h-e double hockey sticks out of to break it into pieces so he could pull out each section with one root attached. He said he had never seen roots like that in twenty years of practice.

Not to play the internet machismo bit but I have a pretty high tolerance for pain. Despite that, I told the dentist afterward “It’s a good thing that chair is made of metal because if it were made of anything else, it would have been in pieces the way I was gripping the arms”. I’d never felt anything like it before or since.

Here’s hoping your daughter’s next experience at the dentist won’t be quite as memorable.

I was born without wisdom teeth. I also still have a baby tooth molar and I am 38 yrs old. My dentist looks at it in wonder every time I go in for a checkup. There was never a tooth underneath.
My friend had 3 sets of front teeth. That was cool…

My condolences to your daughter. My wife had a wisdom tooth that required major work, since the root was in a “J” shape, and actually hooked under the jawbone. We’re talking slicing open the gums and (literally) a chisel.

There is one consolation – we’re both in our 60′s and my wife’s teeth are in much better shape than mine. Tell your daughter to keep up with the toothbrush and floss, and she’ll have all her teeth long after her contemporaries.
