Ouch!

Four years ago, my brother was playing football at recess and knocked out his four front teeth. He had to have them wired back in. Two weeks after he had them wired in, he was playing basketball and went to dunk the ball. He got the braces caught on the net and ripped them back out. They were able to put three of the four back in. As for the last one, they had to give him a fake tooth. Well now four years later, he is finally old enough to get a permanent tooth put in. Today he went to the dentist to have them put a metal rod in his gums which takes five months to heal, and then they can place the tooth around the rod. Luckily the surgery went well today and he is doing great, apparently asking for a wendys frosty.
