Is there anything more annoying than having the remnants of last evenings snack stuck between your back molars? No, there isn't. That's precisely what I'm suffering this morning. The "husk" of a popcorn kernel has decided to become a squatter between my teeth. Worse yet, the varmint has no plans of vacating it’s comfortable new home any time soon.....not even when threatened with a good reaming by the power of dental floss.
My dentist once told me a story about a patient that had to have a portion of his gum line cut in order to remove the offending kernel skin. Bet that last line caused a shudder or two, didn’t it? Just for fun, try a google search of ‘popcorn stuck in teeth’. There are a million stories like mine, and statements such as "Corn stuck in teeth- Madness ensues!!!" or "it's the work of Satan!!!", top the results list.Seriously, at this very moment it feels worse than having pulled a back muscle, or a migraine, and even runs a close second to childbirth! One can't concentrate on anything but the feeling that your gums are being raped by vegetable matter.All together now....let out a scream to help me vent my dental frustration!! Thank you.
