Wonderful. Beer festival, bouncy castle, me THWACK! OW!.
Basically, I have taken about a 5mm equilateral triangle out of the centre of my two front teeth. F**k.
Now I am going to have to find a dentist, and pay (probably) hundreds of punds, and endure lots of pain to get it fixed (did I mention I am seemingly immune to the local anaesthetic they give you (novocaine?))
Also, I have an abject terror of dentists.
Brilliant :dubious:
All together, gang!
“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…”
Sorry, had to do it.
Seriously, I can relate. When I was 8 or 9, I bashed my mouth on the unpadded corner of a metal trampoline frame. Both front teeth were more or less gone. Thanks to cosmetic dentistry, no one’s the wiser.
I feel for you.

I’ve never had teeth capped myself, but I hear from people I know who have that it is mostly painless and is merely uncomfortable, at worst. They don’t get anywhere near the root nerves, unless the break is so far down you need a root canal, and no anaesthetic is required. You’ll be fine! It’s only gonna hurt your wallet.
Yeah, people tell me that it isn’t painful, then again, that’s what everyone has said about every dental procedure I have had, and none have beed anything other than excruciating (and thanks to the fact that there is only one ‘NHS’ dentist in the area, the option of changing dentist is non-existant).
Ah well, I guess it will be £150+ to fix, (based on a basic filling costing £40 on the NHS, and the fact that I am technically not registered as an NHS patient anymore [complicated, last time a dentist was accepting NHS patients there werte queues about 300yds long or more]).
Hell, I have always have bad teeth, they are crooked, but not enough to allow me to get them fixed as a kid on the NHS, since it was counted as ‘cosmetic’, and I cant afford the mohey/am scared of the pain to get them fixed now (I am 21). Maybe I should just leave it, since it only makes me a little bit more ugly. 
You should definitely get them fixed, if there’s any way possible. Being chipped, they’re much more prone to decay and you don’t want that. You do NOT.
That’s happened to me… and, oddly enough, to all three of my brothers as well!
As far as treatment of the malady is concerned, so long as there’s no exposed root or more extensive cracking of the enamel, then some simple bonding may be all that’s necessary.
Fairly painless.
Certainly don’t leave it. The chip may make those teeth more sensitive to cold or heat and definitely more prone to decay.
Well, it’s definately down to the pulp, but since I am at uni I won’t be able to get to the dentist/evil sadist until at least tomorrow.
I’d like to thank you for performing this public service, because I think we can all learn from your mistake.
Beer and bouncy rides don’t mix. Actually, after enough beer you shouldn’t do much more than walk very slowly.
But bouncy rides are so much more fun with beer! Maybe with the beer in you, and not in a bottle next time though.
Do we now have an understanding as to why bouncy castles are for kids? Even moreso for kids who still have yet to have their adult teeth come in?
Not that bouncy castles don’t kick ass…
Indeed, I think in future when drinking I shall take a Designated Decision Maker, to stay sober, and point out the acts of idiocy that I am about to commit.
Remember everybody: Don’t Drink and Decide
Hey, I just chipped my front tooth, too.
I did it grinding my teeth in my sleep. I suddenly woke up with my mouth full of disintegrated tooth.
Your way sounds like more fun.
Well it was fun till the thwack bit. Fortunately, the presence of rediculously huge quantities of alcohol reduced my awareness of the pain at the time, although it undoubtably contributed heavily to the injury’s occurrence
