The Tooth, the Whole Tooth…

Ladislas wept as he pulled his limousine into the drive of his gothic mansion. Nothing could console him—not even the song of the howling wind as it blew clouds across the face of the full moon. It was over—all over. How was he to survive?

His dentist’s words echoed, “I’m sorry. I’ve done everything I can. They’ll all have to be pulled.”

Who knew that his favorite food contained so much sugar? And how could he explain to his dentist that he needed two sets of dentures—one with very long, sharp canines?

    That is great. They don't seem to design dentures with sharp enough canines, do they?

    One of my grandsons has vampire teeth naturally. I'm wondering if, when they all fall out and grow back in, his eye teeth will still be longer than his other teeth.

    I've seen several people with "vampire teeth." Hard to tell if he'll keep them. My older daughter had a lateral incisor that was kind of like a conjoined twin tooth. When it fell out, it was replaced by two separate teeth. So I'd say replacement teeth have a tendency to repeat original teeth.
