Current Events > Lol smh, think I chipped my molar while flossing

(+) Yeah! (+)

Got some free wings and was going through them when I felt something stuck in between my bottom row of teeth. Figured it was a bone fragment since they were bone-in so I took some floss to it in the bathroom

Nope, it was part of my TOOTH that came off

All that energy drinking come to bite me in the ass, I see

It doesn't hurt or anything but now I have a fairly noticeable gap tooth smh

Hope my dentist is open during all of this because if not then fucking gg

If it doesn't hurt you're probably good. Bigger problem might be the energy drinks though; that shit will kill you

---

It won't be the last time, TC. >_>

---

What were you flossing with?

Strands of steel wool?

I read this sentence in a very different way than I think you intended it.

Are you sure it was a part of your tooth and not tartar? I had huge deposits of tartar on the inside of my bottom teeth but not the outside and flipped out because I thought I broke one of my teeth. I was like 23 at the time and deeply bothered that my rotten chompers were already falling apart. Talked to a dentistry student friend of mine and she was like, "Nah you're just nasty. Brush your damn teeth and go to the dentist."

Good point, could be hardened tartar, especially if it was in between teeth

I think it not hurting is a good sign of this, I've been flossing a lot lately too

Do you chew on ice and drink a lot of soda/smoke? It might have already been cracked.

that's not possible.

No ice chewing

I've been drinking some soda during the lock down but also plenty of water in between

My middle two bottom row teeth have a gap in the underside. In the weeks after a cleaning I can force a tiny bit of my tongue through it, but inevitably it gets tartar built up. It could've been that. I think if it chipped that would really hurt!

Personally I don't at all regret dropping soda and energy drinks.

I've chipped several teeth; it doesn't necessarily hurt.

Could be either a chip or tartar (or just food). Do you have any enamel restoring mouthwash (e.g. ACT)? I would recommend using some if you can get it.
