Ouch. It sounds like something I would do. I have a hard head which I usually lead with. I'm sorry the Tooth Fairy skipped you!

Our moms get blamed for a lot of things, don't they? I'm sorry you broke a crown. Coincidentally, I'm headed to the dentist today to repair a cracked tooth. My custom ordered crown is ready to go!

Okay, Next time hit the flashlight app on your smartphone and lean it against the closet wall until you've got the angle you need! :)

I would have had to put my cellphone in my mouth, too. Or else removed all of the coats in the closet and, for a person who sat in the dark hammering, well, that's way too much work, ha, ha.

Oh, the magic of denistry. He glued me all back together again, just like Humpty Dumpty. I thought I would need a whole new crown, good thing I didn't throw it away, which I almost did!!!!

A million bucks for a crown. . .You have a more generous tooth fairy in your neighborhood than mine, Elizabeth! Heck, I'd almost knock one of my crowns off for a good chance at that!

I figure the cost of a Kennedy dollar has appreciated since I was a kid, Myrl!

Even though I'm chuckling- I realize this wasn't funny. Funny the way you tell it though! Good information, Elizabeth- I will learn from your experience and order a flashlight hat from Amazon!

Ack, Mary, to think it could have happened to me while I was in Cuba! My dentist said I had fractured the tooth, probably from the root canal. Did I tell you Fort Knox lives in my mouth? You think it's in Tennessee, but nooooo.

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents That could have been a very expensive mailbox to fix! I learned that same lesson biting on almonds. Sheared my back crown off at the gum line . Dentist glued it back; it lasted for over a year until I swallowed it. I didn't even know I swallowed it. So we replaced the crown. Lesson learned - I no longer eat almonds unless slivered!

But Elizabeth, who puts a flashlight in their mouth?

Your tooth was probably cracked or factured and anything would have snapped it, even a ripe peach. And obviously we know who would put a flashlight into her mouth.

Good morning Elizabeth. That was not a very good move, unfortunately a painful lesson. That is one I haven't done, but many others.

Elizabeth, wow, that is very unfortunate, sorry to hear! I would not have put it in my mouth because of the batteries. Good reminder!

Unless you opened the flashlight and sucked on the individual batteries, you would not have a problem. Plus, I believe the battery casing would need to be damaged. Now, sticking a fork into an outlet, that's another story from a person who lived to tell it.
