Sorry for the ick-factor, but here’s the explanation of today’s image. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed because one of them was impacted. The good news was that the hole that the impacted tooth came out of was supposed to heal up the fastest. It hurt the most. It hurt so bad I went back in because I thought I had dry socket. 16 weeks later to the day (that’s 3.5 months!) I pulled this out of the hole in my jaw with some tweezers.
I never asked… what WAS it?
I think it’s a piece of shattered tooth that wasn’t cleaned out by the doctor during the procedure.
Catching up on your wonderful blog [sigh . . . finally]. I was afraid the dentist left a dime in your tooth socket!
Yikes!! THAT would be scary!
