This morning I was walking in the door at work, chewing an Altoid and minding my own business. The Altoid was almost gone when I ran into this super crunchy part. I mean so crunchy I couldn’t chew it so I spit it out. “Umm..is that my tooth?” I thought. Why, yes. Yes it was. It didn’t hurt, but I could tell with my tongue that at least half of it was MIA. When I got to my classroom and looked in the mirror, I actually shrieked out loud. It was the third tooth back and it was completely visible that I had a huge gaping hole.
While it is true I come from a part of the world where missing teeth are pretty much socially acceptable, and in some circles perhaps considered hot, not for this girl. Hells no. Did you ever hear the phrase “summer teeth”? It means “some ‘er there and some ‘er gone”. I just didn’t think I could own the look enough to make it a trend. So I made an emergency dentist appointment and convinced my boss that me with missing teeth was something no one needed to see. An hour later I was back with a perfectly reconstructed tooth…it’s even better then the one I started with. So I guess even losing a tooth in the hallway at work can turn out to be a good thing. Who knew?
