seeder Posted March 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The Mysterious Case Of Exploding Teeth In the 19th Century, a Pennsylvania dentist called WH Atkinson came across a condition that sounds like the stuff of nightmares. Writing in The Dental Cosmos, the first major journal for American dentists, Atkinson documented an outbreak of exploding teeth. He saw it in three patients. The first, the Reverend DA from Springfield, went through this unpleasant ordeal in 1817: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160301-the-gruesome-and-mysterious-case-of-exploding-teeth 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlawde Posted March 4, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'd imagine once a tooth is so infected, the puss could eventually explode the tooth 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted March 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have nightmares about injuries to my teeth...you know, shattering, breaking, falling out en masse....so I believe I will avoid reading what is fuel for the fire of my nightmares. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ell Posted March 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The pulpa is naturally at a very high pressure, causing the dentals to function as shock-absorbers - which is very necessary with all the chewing they do. The exploding teeth seem to be an extreme variant of this natural and ordinary phenomenon of high pressure pulpae. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted March 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Perhaps odontogenic tumors, that is tumors of the jaw that form from tooth tissue. I best I recall, there are a variety to include some that become a part of a tooth, continue to grow, and could, I imagine, shatter a tooth. Much to thankful for with regard to modern dentistry. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark56 Posted March 5, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I have a really cute Dentist. She's Chinese or Korean, not sure, and looks like she's in her early, mid 20's or so (I'm sure she's much older). I'm so smitten with her gentle femininity that all all my anxiety about going to the dentist just melts away. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted March 5, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Why didn't they just pull the offending tooth? This really makes little sense IMO. 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
