I know the whereabouts of one of them.

I see it every morning since it is still in my mouth. Apparently there was no “adult” tooth under it to push it out so it is still there.

No one ever notices unless I point it out and even then does not look mutant or anything. Dentist said he could pull it but why bother if it is doing fine which it seems to be?

So there it stays.
