AITA for refusing the pay for dental fees after a kid broke his teeth on a macadamia nutquote:My friend 39f June brought her 8yo son Steven over to my house today. June and I were just chatting over a cup of tea when there was a scream from the kitchen and we rushed to find that Steven had tried to eat a whole macadamia nut with shell. For context the nut is a white nut surrounded by the hardest and most smooth chocolate looking shell you've ever seen. He'd obviously thought it was chocolate and tried to eaten it from a closed Tupperware Container on the kitchen island (Was going to cracking them with a hammer later). My friend first admonished Steven for eating something obviously not meant for him and took him to emergency dental where she later learned he has cracked one of his molars and it was apparently quite bad. Apparently as its still his first set of teeth they will just be pulling it out but she wants me to pay for at least half as it was my macadamia and it was on the kitchen island and accessible. aita

I cracked a molar on a candy necklace in like 88 and they put in a space maintainer, which is basically a chrome colored crown on on adjacent tooth with a couple of rods bridging the gap to the other adjacent tooth. I had it until the replacement molar grew in. This has been an established treatment for cracked junior molar for at least 30 years, probably way longer. What did they do to you?

Spacers have been a thing forever. They usually use them for molars since there's less space bath there and more chance of teeth squishing together.

My dentist pulled a healthy front tooth so the others would have more room to grow, then when the new tooth didn't grow in he looked confused and started talking about how we should keep that gap open until I turned eighteen and then put an artificial tooth in or maybe file down my canines, at which point I left the office because I may have been ten, but even I could tell this was a stupid idea. Years later, when I told a dentist that the tooth had been pulled and never regrew, they told me yeah of course, it couldn't since the first one was pulled out too early.

My youngest, stunned at the realization that the tooth fairy gave him an entire loving dollar for each tooth proceeded, over the course of a few months, to pull out all his baby teeth. I realized somewhere in the second month that he'd been losing a lot of teeth, and that they were usually pretty bloody. I told him if he yanked another he wouldn't get anything for them; they had to fall out naturally or no pay. I think he snuck a few more in after that, but I can't tell because I'm sure his whole mouth was a goddamn mess after that and they probably were just falling out by that point. That was a year ago, and they've all either grown in or are currently breaking through the gums, so ymmv, I guess. Funny thing is that they've come in much closer and straighter than his baby teeth were, so

Years later, when I told a dentist that the tooth had been pulled and never regrew, they told me yeah of course, it couldn't since the first one was pulled out too early. Mine was specifically a molar, which has slightly different rules. Assuming what they pulled was a baby tooth, your original dentist was theoretically right, until the new tooth didn't grow part. Pulling a tooth to reduce crowding on the jaw is a legit technique. That said, x-rays should show whether or not you have teeth waiting, it's not like they bud from the gumline. Check out the Wikipedia article on baby teeth. I'm not a dentist, but I don't think the development of adult teeth depends on baby teeth being there, contrary to your second dentist.

I had to pull eight teeth when I was like 8 because I apparently had too many teeth? The dentist did them all in one sitting and the painkiller mostly didn't work because most of those teeth had fused to my jaw, which the dentist would have known had he not chosen to skip the xray. He also kept injecting my gums with painkillers even though it had no effect, until the dental assistant was like 'you cant inject any more. It will do permanent damage" at which point he started drilling the remaining teeth apart and pulling shards of teeth out of my brutalized mouth. I haven't been to a dentist in 20 years lmao

I had a couple of baby teeth that never developed adult teeth behind them and so didn’t fall out on their own. I had to have them extracted when I was 12. I have a small jaw and my teeth were massively overcrowded anyway, so it helped make room for my braces to move them all straightish.

I haven't been to a dentist in 20 years lmao That sounds a lot like what I remember of having my baby teeth extracted. They had me on some sort of sedation injection, and one was supposed to make me fairly sleepy, but they ended up giving me four doses, and the little pulse sensor they had on the end of my finger did something that made everyone look worried, and I remember all the cracks of the teeth separating from my skull. Then my orthodontist was basically that guy from little shop of horrors, but disguised as a bland doughy suburban boomer. That fucker used to grin when he tightened the wires and heard the crunch that made my whole head reverberate with pain. I haven’t been to the dentist very much as an adult either, until recently because predictably, my teeth aren’t good.

At least get hosed up on nitrous oxide. I had a crown replacement get complicated and take three hours last year. I thought it took a little over an hour. Because I was hosed up on nitrous oxide. Which you should be for anything worse than a cleaning, and , apparently, for some of you a catch-up cleaning.

I had the fun experience of having crowded teeth and never being taken to the dentist as a kid. My upper incisors stick out like fangs. I was super self-conscious about them as a kid but as an adult, I actually like my vampire fangs. None of my wisdom teeth erupted normally but nothing was ever done about that either. I also for whatever reason don't feel pain in my teeth if they have major problems, and it would go unnoticed when I couldn't afford to go to the dentist (it's not covered by provincial health care), then suddenly while eating there'd be a huge crunch and lo and behold, half a tooth just fell the gently caress off.

My (32f) fiance (33M) of 8 years refuses to have a weddingquote:My (32f) fiance (33M) does not want a wedding of any kind. No elopement, no ceremony, no rings exchange, no vows, nothing. I've always wanted a traditional medium sized wedding but I've compromised to doing an elopement with just my parents present. He refused. So I compromised again and said let's just do the paperwork like he wants then go to dinner with the four of us and celebrate. He refused. Then I said okay let's just do the paperwork and dinner with the two of us and then get some pictures of the two of us and maybe do a party or something with family a few months from now. He refused. I just want to make it special, it's important to me and I've expressed that to him and he will not compromise on anything. We've been together for 8 years so it's not as if we don't know each other well. I am really starting to rethink getting married and even staying in this relationship, but he says I'm "being bratty". Am I putting too much importance on this? Anyone else just do paperwork and call it a day and not regret it? Update: My (32f) fiance (33M) of 8 years refuses to have a wedding quote:After reading through the comments and reflecting I had another conversation with him. He agreed to have dinner with the two of us and take a couple photos but only if he could buy himself a new computer. That was much more insulting to me than anything before, especially because he claimed his reason for not agreeing to anything is mostly because of money.
