Not So Wise
Posted 2010.01.02 9.24 in Pointless BlatherI know some people find x-rays to be freaky. I guess I do too, but also fascinating at the same time. Take this image for instance:
I keep looking at it, and wondering how they’re gonna get the tooth on the left out, without messing up its neighbor to the right. I mean, they’re not just touching, they’re wedged together. There’s jawbone behind it, a tooth infront of it, and it’s wedged.
Granted it’s not badly wedged – I mean, I’ve seen xrays of badly wedged teeth and this one is barely on the radar for that sort of thing. It’s just – well I can’t figure out how they can pull it out without messing up the one next to it.
For a wisdom tooth, it seems rather unwise.
