Bizarre...

graculusI have a wisdom tooth coming through.
Way back when, I was under the impression my dentist had removed the wisdom tooth on that side (upper right, in case anyone's desperate to know... *g*). I remember the occasion distinctly since he was practically sitting on me as he pulled the damn thing out, only for it to shatter as he did so.
So, he told me that, since he'd not been able to remove it completely, I'd be getting little fragments coming out through the gum. Which is what I thought was happening, except that now (this must be 5 years ago at least) it's through enough to be recognisable as a tooth.
Very strange.

I suspected he was a complete quack all along, but he was the one my mother's insurance covered, so...
