They happen to many, so getting them fixed up often takes no time at all. However, a few patients went to their dentist and shocked the team because of the situation they were experiencing. Here are three bizarre stories from other offices that might surprise you.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Odd Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like several others, this patient went to their provider because of a toothache. After their examination, an urgent root canal was called for. As the team was clearing out the typical plaque and debris, they noticed something odd poking out along the gumline. As they took a closer look, it was actually a tiny sprout growing through the soft tissue. It ended up being a tomato seed that lodged into the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passing Days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman\u2019s dental crown came out, and she called her dentist about it. This is the right thing to do, so she had her visit and had it bonded on. No problem! However, the shock came as she was telling the team about what happened before her appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turns out, her dog actually ate the restoration! It fell on the floor after she had placed it on a counter, and she couldn\u2019t get to it before her furry friend did. So, she had to wait until nature made a call of its own to retrieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stuffed Full<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one practice, a man rushed through their doors looking noticeably unwell. He had his examination, and it didn\u2019t take long to find the problem. When the patient opened his mouth, the team found one of the worst mouth infections they had ever seen. It turns out, he was stuffing a hole in his palate with tissue paper. Although he changed it weekly, it was the perfect place for bacteria to build up and cause problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As shocking as these stories from other offices are, hopefully nothing similar happens to you! Thankfully, you can do your best to avoid worrying situations. By keeping up with brushing and flossing, you can get rid of plaque that causes issues in the first place. Eat a healthy diet and keep up with routine visits to your dentist. That way, any problems get sorted out before they become serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to do your best preventing dental emergencies?
