So for about a week and a half, I've had some reaaaal nasty toothache. It ended up in my gum getting pretty swollen and sore. I thought I had an abscess or something as I'd been flossing, mouthwashing, and brushing and it hadn't subsided at all.
Anyway, last night I was eating some bread and suddenly it just really started to hurt like hell, so I brushed my tongue over the swollen gum and felt something sharp there... I tried to rub it out with my fingers but in the end I had to get up and go at it with some floss. Turns out I had some of that popcorn skin stuff in between my back teeth for about 2 weeks! :o
I can't believe that my flossing hadn't shifted it earlier, it was so gross to think about!!! YUCK. It was SUCH a relief to have it out though, and this morning my gum has gone back down to normal and it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm glad it wasn't an abscess, but urgh how could I not have gotten that trout out sooner? HOW DID IT GET IN THERE SO BAD?
What's the last gross thing that happened to you?
