Or it can be made to be so . . hmm . . . now, you’ll be searching for a tooth cover . . . and what looks somewhat like a tooth?

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Is the alternative (searching through your vomitus) any better? And do you really want to put this thing back on your tooth whether it comes out one end or the other? I can’t speak for **mr. jp** , but my dentist told me about a patient of his who brought in a dental crown that had made the journey from one end to the other. She seemed genuinely surprised that he wanted to autoclave the crown before re-seating it. ---

I thought drinking mustard in water was supposed to make you vomit? Anyway, I once vomited so hard I burst some capillaries in my throat and vomited a bunch of blood. 😃 ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Is the alternative (searching through your vomitus) any better? And do you really want to put this thing back on your tooth whether it comes out one end or the other? I was wondering that, too. And was surprised to see only one person pointing out how utterly disgusting this is. ---

> [@cwthree](#): > > How much did he have to offer in exchange, and did it have to be _his_ poop, or could he use someone else’s? Um, just so you understand we’re talking about staff cleaning up poop/vomit from the residents in the group home. Not their own. As I recall there were some people who were so squicked out by vomit they’d happily trade jobs. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I was wondering that, too. And was surprised to see only one person pointing out how utterly disgusting this is. I’m guessing that the people who have no problem washing off a poopy crown and having the dentist glue it back on are the people who have paid for crowns. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vomiting-need-help-fast/485718.md?page=3)
