Chipped Tooth

So I've actually chipped someone's tooth and I've also had my own tooth chipped. I chipped someone's tooth in a wrestling match. I think I just came, I was underneath someone in my head, the back of my head whacked their jaw and that just shut their mouth really hard and a piece of their tooth came off. It wasn't very big but it was okay. And then I also had a chipped tooth once. I got like elbowed in the mouth. So typically contact sports can lead to chipped teeth.

When I was little, I had a tooth, I had a, my first tooth didn't fall off properly so it was kind of chipped. I didn't think too much of it but turns out it's a very big deal. My permanent tooth was stuck over here and my body realizing that only half a teeth is here or very little tooth is here, it reacted by forming more teeth. So I had surgery to get rid of about 14 combined, 14 to 16 combined teeth here. It could have turned into precancerous growth. So if you have a chipped tooth, well your first tooth is chipped and your permanent tooth is still in there, make sure you get it checked out.

Basically, I was born with like a chipped tooth, like there's nothing they could do, basically, and then they like filed it down so it's all even, so now it's all good.

So one experience I have with chipping a tooth came when I was eating with chopsticks. It was a metal chopstick and I was I guess too excited or something by what I was eating so I clamped down too hard and I chipped that guy right there and I actually had a piece of it for a while that I thought I had to bring to the dentist for some reason and that ended up not being necessary. But yeah, that was my experience.

So when I was probably about eight or nine, I face-planted into the pavement when I was riding a scooter and the front wheel got stuck in a crack on the sidewalk and I broke my nose and chipped two of my front teeth. It was not fun, but now you can't even tell that anything happened. My teeth look totally normal. It wasn't a painful process or anything, so I wouldn't worry too much about it if you have this problem.

When we were kids, my sister and I were running around in our kitchen, and we were like running and then sliding on our liquid floor in our socks. And so my sister tried to do like a big slide and she lost her footing, and she kind of like ran into the side of our kitchen table, and she chipped a tooth.

When I was about 10 years old, I believe, I chipped my very front tooth right here, right on the corner. I was chasing my brother around our living room and then all of a sudden I slid on our hardwood kitchen floor and I came down like this, right on the edge of our table. So it just chipped the very corner of my very front tooth and my parents, they kind of just looked at me wide-eyed for a second and I wasn't bleeding too much. I didn't think anything was really wrong, but they just were like, hey, you're missing part of your tooth. So we looked around, we tried to find it, we couldn't find it. So we emergency just called my dentist, drove over to my dentist. He came into his office late and just looked at it and said, oh yeah, you're going to be fine. They replaced it. My dentist just told me, in theory, I might need to replace the little tiny part of my tooth that they put in there someday, but it's worked really well for about 15 years now. So I'm lucky that's my story.

So when my brother was in middle school, he was late to class and so he was running to class and he tripped over himself and then his tooth, like his front tooth teeth, just smacked the tile floor and they just like completely just snapped in half and then he had to get it filled in.

One final experience from chipping my tooth that's actually maybe more serious or something you you should probably try to be aware of. I was actually eating and or I actually don't know when exactly it happened but I thought once flossing that it felt a little weird, it felt a little different up there. It could have been I play sports a lot and it could have been something from that or eating something hard. I'm not really sure exactly what it was but I had chipped my tooth and didn't realize it and I procrastinated going to the dentist because it didn't really hurt for a little while and then it did and then they found out that I had a feeling that was infected from chipping my tooth and so I would recommend just if you chip your tooth go see a dentist just in case.

So I was eight years old, and I was actually in Disney World, and it was the last day. We were getting on the train to go back and then go home, and I was running pretty fast ahead of my parents, and I turn around and yell at them, come on slowpokes, and I turn around and I run straight into a metal pool, and everyone, my parents were laughing, but like, it wasn't that bad. I just got really lucky because I chipped my tooth a good amount, but just enough where it didn't hit the nerve, so it would have been a lot more painful and complicated if it did, but you can't tell to this day, it was my very front tooth.

So there was a time where I was playing volleyball with some friends and I don't think any of us were experts or really played a lot but I was in the front row and my friend and I went for the ball at the same time and his elbow came up and hit me right in the mouth and I think it just took a little piece off my tooth. It didn't really hurt very much but there was also a time where I gave someone a chipped tooth. I was in a wrestling match and the back of my head whipped up and I hit my friend's chin and it made his jaw like close really hard and I chipped one of his teeth and I remember in the match he like pulled it out and flicked it away. So um yeah.
