Twisted

Brother B had a tooth pulled a couple of weeks ago. He had been in pain for a couple months on and off. I finally took him to the dentist. We thought for sure it was just a cavity, but it turned out he had a very misshaped tooth. The roots were twisted in such a way that an abscess could form. Doc cleaned it out and told us if it started hurting again it would have to be pulled. It didn't take too long for that to happen, there was just too big of a hole so the abscess had a nice roomy mansion to live in. It was such a crazy looking tooth that our dentist kept it so he could take pictures of it. Along with twisted roots it also has a couple extra roots. Crazy. I told Brother B he probably has a twisted brain too. The hope is that the molar next to it can move over to take this one's spot and then the wisdom tooth can be the replacement for that one.
