I broke a
wisdom tooth while eating Grape Nuts. I didn't know that was what happened until the
pain got to be too much, and the working around that weird spot in my mouth while
eating was no longer possible. I went to see my
dentist, who gave me the lowdown and scheduled a date for extraction.
Since the broken tooth had to go, its opposite had to be pulled as well - that one went first. No problem, and the local anesthetic (no nitrous, unfortunately) worked nicely. But going after the broken tooth took forever, and the anesthetic was wearing off to the point that I feared feeling the full brunt of whatever the doc was doing to my mouth. There would eventually have to be an additional shot of anesthetic, for which I'm eternally grateful.
I haven't eaten Grape Nuts since the day of breakage. I miss it.
