    I bit into a chocoloate cream (same type as a custard cream, but with chocolate filling) and felt what was a bit of gravel rolling around following a crunching noise at the weekend. On extracting the said gravel, it did look like a fragment of tooth about 3mm x1.5mm, correct colour etc. It did not however show any fresh clean sharp edges typically associated with broken teeth. I have since inspected my gob every day in front of the mirror to try and work out where this came from. As of yet, I cannot see anything missing, and nothing feels any different when rolling my tongue around. Certainly no pain experienced anywhere. Bit of a mystery....Even when eating my meals, nothing is catching or getting stuck anywhere, everything appears normal. It was a brand new unopened back of biscuits and their was nothing in any of the rest of them (yes I did finish off the whole packet in the one sitting), but can't rule them out as being the guilty source. My next check up is scheduled for December so should I; a) just wait till then b) see if anything develops over the short term before considering an extra visit c) go for an extra visit regardless? I'm going with a, unless something really obvious/painfull comes to light, in which case it will be b.

      Given that you: a) work offshore and b) are going on holiday soon I'd go with option c. Don't wait until you're away from home, just in case a tooth problem flares up.

        Maybe it was a tooth fragment dropped in during manufacturer and it was you who found it?

                My experience with teeth is that pain is an indication that damage has already been done. Don't wait for the pain, go with option A. :)

                  To make tooth pain go away put something very cold on the back of your hand. And keep whisky on the tooth causing the pain, you could do this by swabbing but better to keep a mouthful as much as possible. Although I tend to agree with the idea that whatever you pulled out was not yours to start with.

                      It should be possible to trace it if it was. Two things come to mind: 1. I think it was a bloke in Wales who placed a hypodermic needle point in something in a supermarket that somebody chewed on. I believe he was traced via DNA within the needle that he used. Brilliant detective work to trace that one back to source. 2. Some plonker burgled a sweet or cake factory in Australia a few years ago. He apparently took a bite out of something before fleeing the scene. His chomping imprint was later traced to some dental records. Brilliant detective work again.

                      If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                        Do a DNA test on the fragment to make sure it is indeed your tooth.
