Resorption in a front tooth. Had it extracted and now there’s a fancy titanium drywall anchor grafted into my skull. A few weeks of healing and then I’ll have a false tooth bolted in.

    I do. My remaining real teeth are in excellent health, no cavities, no fillings. This tooth basically ate itself from the inside out because cosmic rays flipped a register on the CPU. I asked my dentist how to prevent this and his reply was “You don’t.” We do not have a testable hypothesis as to why my tooth hollowed itself out. A little over a year ago, a routine X-ray showed a little shadow in that tooth so I was told to be careful biting into apples and such. This December we took another X-ray and again they mentioned how dark it was, I said “Yeah since last time I’ve been careful when biting into apples and carrots” and the hygienist said “NOPE! None of that anymore!” I’ve been on a no biting things diet for a couple months now, eating pizza with a knife and fork, and I’ve been eating soup, oatmeal and Slimfast for a week now and I want a fucking steak.
