#the remaining chunk doesn't have much discolouration but that's not to lighten the fact that it's BAD that the last piece broke off

My dead tooth broke off today 🙃
#''see a dentist'' I'M FUCKIN TRYING#injury tw#it sort of just gave up actually there wasn't a snap or anything it was like a dead toenail just yeeting itself#it felt a LOT looser than normal#i was paranoid about it even more than usual#last night while I was salt rinsing my mouth and stuff (I don't brush near it it's dangerous) it seemed FAR looser than normal#(not that having a fucked up tooth is normal)#and it kept tilting and getting caught on my lower teeth when I would do literally anything with my mouth incl. checking it with my tongue#there is still some tooth left at the base so the nerve is not exposed... yet... I think#there's the dark pink bits where the side of the tooth used to be touching the gum#part of that was already exposed from where the other half disintegrated last year#I had a very close look at what snapped off and it's the remaining part of the tooth above the gumline minus a small part#it didn't even really snap it sort of just disconnected it's quite deteriorated inside and you can see the#boundary between the layers of the tooth and how royally fucked the interior was from the expanding cavity#the remaining chunk doesn't have much discolouration but that's not to lighten the fact that it's BAD that the last piece broke off#I can't brush or chew on it (toothbrush would DEFINITELY have made it worse) and there is some toothpaste and other gunk#but the broken off piece kind of soft inside#I have actually swallowed by accident at least two other pieces that I know of when it first started falling apart#I chewed them#went 'wtf'#and swallowed them without parsing that it might've been that little cavity getting worse#I am RELIEVED that there's still some left and that the root is STILL FUCKING IN THERE#so there's no obvious DIRECT PATH TO MY BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER#(dental infections have the most horrifyingly direct path to both the brain and heart where they SPREAD)
