Dental Stuff


OK. Another one for you dental folks. This lady comes in for me to extract her mobile upper lateral incisor. It has a mobility of 4 and she wants it out. Nothing unusual here. What is unusual is the central next to it. It only has a mobility of 2 and she has no complaints about it. The apex is completely exposed on the central and there is a large rounded bunch of calculus surrounding the end of the root! Bet you haven’t seen this one before in your hygiene chair. That is what I call some pretty tough lingual periodontal fibers. Rick

I think that's an alveolar nostril. She can probably blow her nose\mouth all at the same time.

Bless You!
