Just lost half my wisdom tooth to a peanut!

[Vegetarian]

Was eating a peanut and jam butty and once I finnished felt a really strange sensation in my wisdom tooth - it was also totally bunged up with peanut butter so brushed my teeth only to find almost one half of the tooth gone on one side. A bit later another chunk of tooth came out. I dont really have any nerve pains yet - it kinda throbs a bit bit not in any great pain.

Ive moved to a new area and dont have a dentist

Any advice for someone living in south manchester?

Sue the peanut.

 

[^TANK^]

Make a claim!

I'm sure lots of people live in South Manchester.

The reason you won't feel it is probably because the tooth has mostly rotted away anyway, so the nerve ending will have been severed ages ago, by slowly degrading, not suddenly.

Make a claim against the company who supply said peanuts. I'm pretty sure you could make some money out of this.

Don't get down in the mouth about it.

So its tooth out time?

 

[InvaderGIR]

Depends on how much is damaged etc.

I had my worst tooth repaired about 3 times, but it was an ordinary molar and not a wisdom tooth.

There is no real way of telling unless you see a dentist. The NHS do have a search feature for dentists which you can run on your postcode, I used this before when in Bournemouth for an emergency appointment, but it worked out quicker to travel back home to my normal dentist in Cornwall as the 'emergency' appointments at the NHS ones were about a week's lead time, and I could get into my one back home the next day.

i did similar 3 years ago and the tooth is sitll like that now. its got a full 1/4 of it missing. has never caused pain or discomfort

Looking at the tooth - most of the top is still there - its the side where the gum is thats gone - stuck a tooth pick in the gap/hole(dont advice this as it hurt ) and it was about a 5-6mm deep

like they would shell out in this instance

Agreed. It'd be a tough nut to crack.

that probably was the worst thing you could have done as you're now probbably guaranteed to have infected it with all sorts of unpleasantness.

Get your self down to A&E in the morning and see if you can get it fixed in the hospital

DO NOT UNDER-ESTIMATE PEANUTS

 

[Kristoph]

Hmm. I can feel a motherload of pain heading your way.

DO NOT UNDER-ESTIMATE PEANUTS

Truth!
I chipped my front tooth on a peanut in a Snickers once

 

[yantorsen]

I think you need to be sharper with the peanuts.

I had a wisdom tooth that was formed incorrectly (so the dentist said)

Parts of it fell away until I was brushing the nerve when doing my teeth, not nice.

I had the 'orrible thing removed, I strongly suggest an emergency trip to the dentist asap before your mouth feels like hell.

 

[PhillyDee]

That wasnt very clever was it?

 

[lookitsjonno]

i was very close to doing similar last week! was eating some bombay mix and bit into what felt like a stone and my tooth went crunch bloody hell it hurt. feels fine now, guess i'm lucky!
