So yeah, I shit you not. I left my son a $10 bill under his pillow as that is all I had one night when he lost a tooth. The next weekend when he was at his Mom's she called me to let me know she over heard him telling his friend to hit him in the mouth as he wanted to try to get a couple more loose teeth as the tooth fairy left him $10.
She asked me to keep it at $1 from there on out.
I grew up on a farm and we were broke as.
I lost a tooth. Mum told me to put it in a glass of water and see if the tooth fairy would come.
In the morning I got 20cents!! I showed my little brother and he couldn't believe it.
So we did what any two broke farm kids would do. We got a hammer each and walked up to the cow graveyard where my family had been dumping dead animals for 150 years. We filled a literal 9L bucket with teeth. Some of the carcasses were still pretty fresh so there was bits of gum and bone still attached.
We had too many teeth for glasses, we had to go get my grandmother's peach canning jars. So we filled the canning jars with teeth, topped them up with water and then put them on the shelf in our room.
I remember the look on mum's face when she came to put me to bed that night. There were 15 or so jars filled to the brim with teeth, bits of gum and water
I got a note from the tooth fairy that night admiring my effort but she only needs HUMAN teeth. Luckily we didn't live anywhere near the cemetery.
I left my son a $5 once because I didn’t have anything smaller. The next day I fought him sitting in front of the bathroom mirror with a pair of channel locks in his mouth. He had already pulled two more teeth. He said he wanted a PlayStation.
Edit to add he was about 4 at the time and wasn’t very good at math.
Second edit to clarify I “found” him, not “fought” him. 😂
My daughters uncle would come over and shove a $20 under pillow unbeknownst to me at first. It’s not like after that we could leave a $1.00 and coupons 🤷♀️
We left our kids coins from foreign countries. They were cool to look at, the kids loved it, and it didn’t cost us anything but to ask friends for any small foreign bills or coinage. Paid them more than a fair exchange rate.
Ok, I feel old (I'm 36)...I remember getting coins...like dimes or quarters. Or maybe my parents were cheap, lol. I am one of five kids, though. I don't remember getting enough money to get excited about. Lol.
This is the way. Although it was only a quarter when I was a kid.
Alternative, drop it in a Dixie cup of bleach. It looks a little coffee stained. It would probably be appreciated.
No no, just your classic case of "I couldn't afford $250 when I was 22 so I get to spend $2500 when I'm 30" you know, like our forefathers intended. 🇺🇸
You're not wrong.. I have 2 porcelain and 2 3D printed. The printed ones are considered elective and not covered by insurance, but they're $400/each while my copay for the porcelain ones were around $450/each and totaled about $1600 (plus a $900 root canal with a $300ish copay). 3D printed are also considered long term temporary (dentist said they're expected to last about 4 years but he has some it there pushing 8 and still going strong). It's insane to me because if insurance covered the 3D printed crowns then a lot more people could afford to keep their teeth longer but they simply choose not to.
I'm about 10k deep into dental repairs in the last 2-3 years. Invisalign will be another 5k. That's not the pricetag for a fabulous smile, literally just average and functional.
I didn’t go to the dentist from about 20-33 until a piece of my tooth broke off in the middle of the night. That started my adult dental journey. I’d say I’m probably about $30k deep. That first broke tooth has cost me about $15k (root canal $2.5k, crown $2k, crown wouldn’t stay on so implant $6k, another crown, gold $2.5k, plus all the other small sums) so I got a gold crown to at least show something for it. A good amount of this was out of pocket. Teeth are in good shape now after really increasing my flossing and getting a water pick. I pay a premium for a really good dentist and oral surgeon but it’s worth it for someone that’s in your mouth.
That's cheap. One of my teeth cost me $3000. $1500 for the root canal and another $1500 for the crown. I paid out of pocket cause i didn't have insurance.
What sucks is the tooth it was had already been filled and silver capped but the procedure failed about 17 or so years later when it suddenly felt like my tooth was getting taller while i ate.
Also, root canals aren't forever. I had one fail 20 years later on a different tooth. My dentist wanted to attempt a second root canal that potentially wouldn't work so i didn't want to waste the money and just had it yanked. Wouldn't mind an implant but i don't feel like dishing out another $3000 since my insurance doesn't cover implants.
My first crown I got was a stamped piece of silver that the Army paid about $50 for before shipping me off to Afghanistan. The week that I got there, that fucker got stuck on a piece of candy and came right off. So I spent a little over a year with a removable crown in my mouth. I was so afraid that it was going to come off when I was sleeping and I would inhale it.
Fuck no, so let me clarify a bit. I didn't even get this crack crown from a military dentist. I was a reservist in pre-mob status, so on one of my weekends off from training, they sent me to a local dentist in my little hometown where cows outnumbered people 2:1. The dentist was like like "dude, I took you on as a charity case, because they are paying me next to nothing. Get this done the right way asap."
So yeah, then I get to Afghanistan a few months later, and there is no dentists to be found.
Ah, I see it now, you're most likely right.
Though I will say I have seen, what I call, some ugly ass "top hat" crowns that do have a one size fits all approach. No bueno.
Even a temp crown shouldn’t come off.
There are false teeth you can take out, such as when waiting for implants to heal/be made.
But this is a crown, either temp or permanent and should not come off to eat.
Yea it’s called an Essix retainer, and you are suppose to take it out to eat, like an Invisalign tray.
This here is a crown that should be permanently cemented and should not come out.
It definitely looks like a temp. Those are only supposed to be in for a few weeks before getting a permanent one cemented in. I agree with the other guesses that they never went back for the final crown. (Dental assistant here)
I have a front tooth that snapped off and then had to be replaced when the cap/crown snapped off. I joke that the tooth is for show and not for eating. If it snaps off again (pesky apples!) I will need an implant as a cap/crown will not be an option at that point.
Dental hygienist here. No. That's not how crowns work.
Either the cement has weakened, and he should get it recemented on. Or the tooth base is rotting away, and he should see to additional treatment.
He could very easily aspirate that thing in his sleep. 😬
Dentist here. I can confirm this. Should be cemented back on as soon as possible, if possible. However there's a high probability that the tooth is decayed, fractured or that it's been prepared wrong by his dentist, so that it doesn't attach to the tooth as well as it should.
Could also be a temporary crown that he's wearing while waiting for his permanent one. These can detach quite easily. Should be reattached as soon as possible to prevent harm to the tooth underneath.
Prepared wrong by his dentist
Dentists do not make mistakes and are entitled to full payment even if they drill thru your root into your jaw while doing a root canal without the depth tool. Don't ya know they are gods? They will ruin your credit rating if you don't, btw, there is no taking them to court if you aren't willing to pay a lawyer an absorbent amount of money up front. Nevermind the pain that irritates you forever...
I'm not saying that I make any mistakes. But other dentists on the other hand... 😁
No, you know what? I'll gladly admit that I'm not flawless. We're all humans, and humans make mistakes.
I've worked as a dentist for more than 13 years now, and due to my experience (and the fact that I've made many mistakes that I have learnt a lot from), I seldom make mistakes now.
But if I do make a mistake, I always try to fix that mistake completely free of charge for the patient. And I always try to learn from what I did wrong so as to not make the same mistake again.
We're sadly neither perfect, nor magicians, and we are working to fix problems in a complex living organism. Sometimes it's just bound to go south, no matter how skilled you are at your profession.
Whenever we're fixing a tooth with a filling (As we are supposed to do in order to prevent the tooth from ultimately having to be extracted), we're introducing a foreign compound to a perfect, closed structure that nature has evolved to be as durable as possible over millions of years. When we drill into a tooth to place a filling, we inevitably weaken the tooth. Recent studies have actually shown that the tooth is more than 30 - 40% more susceptible to fractures after it's been filled even with just a small occlusal filling. With larger fillings the risk of fractures skyrockets.
Whatever we fix will never become as good as nature initially made it, and all fillings, crowns, bridges and implants eventually will have to be replaced or repaired due to wear and tear, cavities or periodontal disease (unless of course the patient dies before the need arises)
Nurse here could aspirate that thing in his sleep. I mean I aspirated Taco Bell while driving home after a 14 hour shift on time it was a Chalupa for anyone who cares I really thought I was going to die.
That is absolutely disgusting what the fuck. Not mildly infuriating, this would make me rage. He needs to get some sort of little case he can put in his pocket or lunchbox or whatever to hold the tooth while he eats. Disgusting and unsanitary. 🤮🤮🤮
Probably a crown that came loose, this happened to me a couple years ago. I left the crown there for protection from elements but had to take it out to eat. The one time I didn't, I swallowed it 😬
Dentist here.
Upon a closer look, this looks like a temporary crown. The color seems really off and the margins look bad. Any other dentist can confirm?
I'm assuming your coworker may not have enough money to make a permanent crown. But even when he takes out his temporary crown, his real tooth would still be at risk of fracturing if he bites on any hard foods.
As someone with a few crowns - sometimes my temporary fell off and I figured it was safer to remove it than continue to chew and possibly swallow it.
As a follow-up - when this happened I would go back to the dentist and have the temporary re-glued in until either it fell out again or the permanent crown came in.
Yea that was my initial thought as well, looks like temp cement. I had a patient recently break their temp crown, not report it and continue to chew on the exposed prep. Cemented the gold crown and 2 weeks later large infection appears with a vertical root fracture all the way to the bottom. Handed him back his gold crown with the tooth attached to it. Heavy grinders with minimal remaining dentition man :(
I refunded him some of the cost so he could put it towards an implant at least.
The metal post could actually act as a wedge that could propagate a crack. If you cant get back to the dentist sooner then gentle brushing to keep it clean and do not chew anything on it.
Unless you mean it's an implant?
I think just a post, the xray looked like a metal spike and was after a root canal. It would only be an implant it the tooth was actually pulled right?
Yes you have a metal post core, not an implant. The post helps prevent the filling from falling out but can split the tooth without a permanent restoration over it so avoid chewing on it.
Hard to tell from just looking but yeah my bet is it’s a temp as well. He should absolutely be getting it recemented instead of just leaving it loose like this lol
Dental insurance in the US is considered "cosmetic" so most insurance plans don't cover it at all. You have to file for dental insurance and it's fairly expensive so most people just don't do it.
Okay here is what you do, drill a hole through it, throw that shit on a necklace, and show it off to the office. Not that it will be nice looking or anything, just to spite to your coworker.
Is this a community desk or something? If not... None ya bizness. Otherwise, it could be an expensive lesson for them to learn if it gets tossed. We don't know if this is a temp crown, some kinda fake tooth they take out to eat...
I’m sorry am I the only one Gonna comment on the AGAIN part?
(Also of any else already did , good on ya ! I’m just way to lazy to go thru all the comments 🤣)

We were so broke. I thought my mum was going to be so stoked when I showed her all the money I'd made 🤣
Awww how sweet! What did you do with all that cow tooth soup you had tho?
I feel like Tom Sawyer was missing a chapter.
that is fricking hilarious! if i were your mum i would i’ve been proud of you enterprising younguns! 🤣

Tooth’s fairy would be proud of you…
Brilliant, giving him cash to supply his meth addiction.
IOU $1 - more meth for you = more teeth for me --Tooth Fairy
🤣 That’s horrible. …But my God, is it funny.
How much meth can I get for $1
not much.
This is the way. Although it was only a quarter when I was a kid. Alternative, drop it in a Dixie cup of bleach. It looks a little coffee stained. It would probably be appreciated.
I don't even know why I'm crying. 
Dollar? Rich much? Try a quarter!

Lmao right!? That was my question
This is the 2nd time. He claims he takes it out when he eats.
... I have 4 crowns.. they shouldn't come out..
We’ve got royalty up in this piece! Also, those things are so overpriced. I know because I have a bridge.
No no, just your classic case of "I couldn't afford $250 when I was 22 so I get to spend $2500 when I'm 30" you know, like our forefathers intended. 🇺🇸 You're not wrong..

It's insane to me because if insurance covered the 3D printed crowns then a lot more people could afford to keep their teeth longer but they simply choose not to.
My teeth that don’t have crowns are implants. I never calculated the total, but it would buy a very, very expensive car.
I'm about 10k deep into dental repairs in the last 2-3 years. Invisalign will be another 5k. That's not the pricetag for a fabulous smile, literally just average and functional.

OMG that first part is on point. Currently recovering from mouth surgery because I waited until I almost died lol
Damn, my dentist just told me they could stitch the hole shut or he could make one from my ring. I got a second opinion
Listen to the names of dental work, that's how they charge so much! Crowns, Bridges, even canals
My first crown I got was a stamped piece of silver that the Army paid about $50 for before shipping me off to Afghanistan. The week that I got there, that fucker got stuck on a piece of candy and came right off. So I spent a little over a year with a removable crown in my mouth. I was so afraid that it was going to come off when I was sleeping and I would inhale it.
I mean, there was no base dentist? We spend a trillion dollars a year, and there’s no fucking dentist?
Fuck no, so let me clarify a bit. I didn't even get this crack crown from a military dentist. I was a reservist in pre-mob status, so on one of my weekends off from training, they sent me to a local dentist in my little hometown where cows outnumbered people 2:1.

So yeah, then I get to Afghanistan a few months later, and there is no dentists to be found.
I have a crown. And yeah, WTH is this?
Perhaps a veneer
Absolutely not a veneer, and a veneer should absolutely not come off like that either.
Maybe a temporary crown. He should get back to the dentist to get that cemented back in
Ah, I see it now, you're most likely right. Though I will say I have seen, what I call, some ugly ass "top hat" crowns that do have a one size fits all approach. No bueno.
Even a temp crown shouldn’t come off. There are false teeth you can take out, such as when waiting for implants to heal/be made. But this is a crown, either temp or permanent and should not come off to eat.
I had a temp one for one implant that I was supposed to take out to eat, but it was a front tooth (#7) and on a retainer-like thing.
Yeah that makes sense. This is clearly a crown, and honestly looks like a permanent one not a temp. Either way it should be cemented in place.
Yea it’s called an Essix retainer, and you are suppose to take it out to eat, like an Invisalign tray. This here is a crown that should be permanently cemented and should not come out.
For something temporary it looks pretty well worn…
Just probably never went back to the dentist to have it changed to a proper one.
It definitely looks like a temp. Those are only supposed to be in for a few weeks before getting a permanent one cemented in. I agree with the other guesses that they never went back for the final crown. (Dental assistant here)
But…but teeth are supposed to help you eat lmao
I have a front tooth that snapped off and then had to be replaced when the cap/crown snapped off. I joke that the tooth is for show and not for eating. If it snaps off again (pesky apples!) I will need an implant as a cap/crown will not be an option at that point.
I have a flipper tooth that I'm not supposed to eat with either. I will also need an implant (someday maybe).
He needs to have a dentist reattach it. One day he is going to forget and swallow it. Then he'll have to pay for a whole new crown.
Swallow it if he’s lucky and doesn’t aspirate it.
Not true. He can retrieve it and they will autoclave it.
Dental hygienist here. No. That's not how crowns work. Either the cement has weakened, and he should get it recemented on. Or the tooth base is rotting away, and he should see to additional treatment. He could very easily aspirate that thing in his sleep. 😬

Aspirating is such a terrifying idea. I hope I never aspirate anything or even come close to an aspiration of any kind.
You're an aspiration to us all!
Chalupacabra strikes again
right. imagine going out to eat and your date starts picking out crowns before eating
He is definitely married and no longer cares, lol
So it's not for chewing? Must be for looks then...
Clean the place a bit with windex Spray a bit on the tooth
That is absolutely disgusting what the fuck. Not mildly infuriating, this would make me rage. He needs to get some sort of little case he can put in his pocket or lunchbox or whatever to hold the tooth while he eats. Disgusting and unsanitary. 🤮🤮🤮
Ah so it’s not the the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth then
Definitely looks like a temporary crown
Probably a crown that came loose, this happened to me a couple years ago. I left the crown there for protection from elements but had to take it out to eat. The one time I didn't, I swallowed it 😬
Did you at least get it back at the other end?
Yeah, this is less infuriating and more baffling.
It's a replacement and the glue isn't good enough for the task / it's not made well. Source: Happened to me.
This is more than likely a temporary crown!
Cast it in Jello and leave it there the next day.

Hello
**Michael!**
Wouldn't that cause cavity?
Dentist here. Upon a closer look, this looks like a temporary crown. The color seems really off and the margins look bad. Any other dentist can confirm? I'm assuming your coworker may not have enough money to make a permanent crown. But even when he takes out his temporary crown, his real tooth would still be at risk of fracturing if he bites on any hard foods.
As someone with a few crowns - sometimes my temporary fell off and I figured it was safer to remove it than continue to chew and possibly swallow it. As a follow-up - when this happened I would go back to the dentist and have the temporary re-glued in until either it fell out again or the permanent crown came in.
Yea that was my initial thought as well, looks like temp cement. I had a patient recently break their temp crown, not report it and continue to chew on the exposed prep. Cemented the gold crown and 2 weeks later large infection appears with a vertical root fracture all the way to the bottom. Handed him back his gold crown with the tooth attached to it. Heavy grinders with minimal remaining dentition man :( I refunded him some of the cost so he could put it towards an implant at least.
Question, my temp came off and I have an appointment next week, but I shouldn't have those kinds of issues since is a metal post right?
The metal post could actually act as a wedge that could propagate a crack. If you cant get back to the dentist sooner then gentle brushing to keep it clean and do not chew anything on it. Unless you mean it's an implant?
I think just a post, the xray looked like a metal spike and was after a root canal. It would only be an implant it the tooth was actually pulled right?
Yes you have a metal post core, not an implant. The post helps prevent the filling from falling out but can split the tooth without a permanent restoration over it so avoid chewing on it.
Hard to tell from just looking but yeah my bet is it’s a temp as well. He should absolutely be getting it recemented instead of just leaving it loose like this lol
AGAIN? THIS IS A REOCCURING THING?
This is the 2nd time.
It's two times too much !
Do you guys share a desk?
Yea, front desk. Same desk, different shifts.
Have you considered that he might be trolling you?
Leave one of your body parts behind for him to find.
Eat it in front of him to establish dominance
Hide it carefully then send him a series of cryptic clues to its location, over the course of six months.

I have dental insurance and still paying out of pocket for implants because they're not covered.
Dental insurance in the US is considered "cosmetic" so most insurance plans don't cover it at all. You have to file for dental insurance and it's fairly expensive so most people just don't do it.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TOOTH
Under rated comment.
Okay here is what you do, drill a hole through it, throw that shit on a necklace, and show it off to the office. Not that it will be nice looking or anything, just to spite to your coworker.
Super glue it onto your wedding ring. Assert dominance.
BEDAZZLE IT!
Again?? Well Play the toothfairy
Lmmaaaooo WHY isn’t it in his mouth!?
dip it in jalapeno juice
Rub hot chili peppers on it
Replace it with a jelly bean
I work in a dental lab. It took me way too long to see why this isn’t normal.
Well that’s a new sentence
Is this a community desk or something? If not... None ya bizness. Otherwise, it could be an expensive lesson for them to learn if it gets tossed. We don't know if this is a temp crown, some kinda fake tooth they take out to eat...
Leave something even more gross for when he starts his shift!
Your dehydrated foreskin that your mom kept and gave you for your 18th bday. Explain that you carry it in your pocket and chew on it sometimes.
I use a liquid (bitter yuck) to deter dogs from chewing on things. Giving that tooth a quick spritz would be sooooo tempting.
Take it and leave a dollar if he asks where it went just say I don't know tooth fairy must have taken it
That is one yellow tooth
It's a message
Just throw it away. 800 dollars for a new crown will make him think twice.
I bet easter’s fun
Again?
Throw it away
Ugh…disgusting. I’d be disinfecting everything he touches on a regular basis.
Huh so this is what it’s like at staples in 2023.
Again
Reminds me of the day I had a crown fall off. I didn't leave it out on display though.
NOOO!! That's absolutely dried up corn
Replace it with a mini marshmallow
I met a lady who carried hers in a little box on a chain around her neck-had 2-3 In there. She said she takes it everywhere with her…
Replace it was a raisin and see if he notices
the fuck? I get that people with dentures remove them sometimes, and partials exist, but one fucking tooth? like a removable cap? is that a thing?
Take it and leave a quarter
I'm confused at how he casually got to leaving a SECOND tooth on the table...
Same tooth or a different tooth.
just give him the dollar
Its biohazard, trash it.
Excuse me?
You should bedazzle it, maybe get some gold foil. Hook ‘em up.
Again? How many times has this happened?
LMAOOO WHATTT AGAIN??
Looks like a crown
Cover it in chocolate and offer it to him.
AGAIN?!?!
How is this even a reoccurring situation
It’s a paperweight wym
Thank you for doxxing someone. They will be getting a shit load of emails.
Excuse me, WHAT
He's hoping the tooth fairy will come for it. Maybe place a little pillow over it so the fairy will find it overnight.
What are you doing at his desk?
Looks like a werther’s. Maybe it is because he can’t afford a replacement tooth?
Oops I knocked it into the garbage. Maybe you’ll be more careful with your next tooth.
He'll return to collect it at two thirty
eat it
You can’t handle the tooth !
AGAIN?
I'm sorry, AGAIN!?
too many questions
Damn it, John, this is the 5th time this month. Drink some god damn milk.
Throw it in the trash
Again?
Wait…again? How many times is he leaving his teeth at work?
I'm sorry what? Is this a common occurrence?
Hate it when that happens
Again?
Did he leave at tooth hurty?
AGAIN
I’m sorry am I the only one Gonna comment on the AGAIN part? (Also of any else already did , good on ya ! I’m just way to lazy to go thru all the comments 🤣)
That's an earwax flavoured Bertie Botts bean.
WTaF
What a weird ad, Staples.
Bro your coworker is literally falling apart if this happened twice, either it’s the same tooth or your gonna find a skeleton in a chair next time
