\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sometimes, a dental emergency<\/a> can make you feel awkward or embarrassed. It may even strike you as too weird or shameful to show to your local dentist. With all that said, you\u2019d be surprised at how many people worldwide suffer from odd yet urgent oral issues. There\u2019s no need to see yourself as an outlier who can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t get treatment. If you need proof of that fact, just look at four of the strangest dental emergencies listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Say No to Super Glue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Super glue can certainly help with many repair and craft projects. However, one patient learned the hard way that it can\u2019t fix your dental issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story starts with a woman whose dental crown had fallen out. In an effort to reattach the cap, she tried applying super glue to it and her tooth. This action not only failed to secure her crown but also covered her mouth and throat with glue. She was left with a situation far worse than her original crown problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Literal \u201cJaw Breaker\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every dental emergency occurs before a dental visit. As a certain patient once learned, these dilemmas can also happen while seeing your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This patient\u2019s emergency came during a routine tooth extraction. While the dentist was trying to remove the tooth, they accidentally broke the person\u2019s jaw! The patient didn\u2019t feel any pain from that incident, but it did force them to wire their jaw shut for two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Dentures are Removable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you know how most dentures are removable? Well, one elderly woman had an emergency when she forgot that fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, this patient was seeing her dentist for a denture repair. The dental team only needed a brief oral exam to see the problem. Because the woman had left her dentures in her mouth for months, she suffered from horrible breath, infected gums, and broken prosthetics. She ended up needing more than just normal denture repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Growing Mouth Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eating veggies is usually good for oral health, as the habit can strengthen teeth and gums. Still, one patient experienced an urgent exception to this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patient\u2019s emergency \u2013 a toothache \u2013 seemed normal enough at first. Even so, a more thorough look revealed a very surprising cause for their oral aches and pains. It turned out that tomato seeds had lodged deep in the patient\u2019s gums and sprouted small plants! As the seeds grew, they pressed down on sensitive tissues and triggered a toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t be the first to experience the strangest dental emergencies ever. Given that fact, don\u2019t hesitate \u2013 see your dentist for treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
