Argh!! My tooth!

I just had a pack of Mentos and as i was chewing one part of my tooth snapped off...

Anyone else had the same because I'm pretty sure this shouldn't happen.

It shouldn't happen if you have healthy teeth...how often do you go to the dentist?

antijoke · 21 Sep 2009 at 10:12

I'm pretty sure you should ring a dentist.

this happens to everyone all the time, dont worry about it, your tooth will grow back

No, No, No... Anyone can see it'll be less than 24 hours before he expires more like 5-12!

tisonlyme · 21 Sep 2009 at 10:15

And how often do you clean your teeth? Do you floss every day? Use mouthwash?

Yes. A full half of a molar came away whilst eating a digestive. He capped it and sent me on my way.

You may have cracked it at some point, which he explained was quite possible, and then it just slowly gets worse and eventually falls out. He said this was likely in my case as the rest of my teeth were healthy.

In any case, go to the dentist. If for anything, probably because the edge is quite sharp.

Man up, Nancy.

So I'm this Mento right, the other day some guy takes me out of my packet and just starts chewing me, so to spite him I broke one of his teeth. It was so awesome.

Same thing happened to me this time last year, turned out though that my tooth had actually had a crack in it for some time and it felt a bit wobbly as well and then part of it had finally came off, the dentist just filled it up properly with that strong filling stuff and then it felt no different to before
