Haha, do you still have them? If not, what did you end up doing with them?

I have a royal tooth hat too! I got it mannyyyyyy years ago haha.

My second to last upper molar on the right side died and when they were testing the nerves to verify it was actually dead, they used a freezy stuff. They held the cold stuff on the dead tooth and I didn't feel a thing so they moved it to a live tooth and I almost shot through the roof it hurt so bad. So I had to get a root canal (the tools for which are heckin terrifying) and I was so numb I could feel the numb tingle all the way up under my eye when I blinked. I also ended up scratching my cheek raw without knowing because the tingling from the numbness wearing off felt itchy so I just kept on-a scratching until i scratched all the skin off... oops... So after the root canal, they put in a temporary filling and told me to see my regular dentist for the real filling. When I got the real filling done, I didn't have to even be numbed because all the nerves were dead anyway so I was happy for no needle in my gums that day. Fast forward a bit, about a year later. I had to get braces. They had to put a special metal ring around the dead tooth, which had turned completely black by that point to keep it protected. Then braces came of a year and a half later. Then fast forward like, 12+ years and my dentist told me my tooth was starting to crack and they wanted to try to put a crown on it to make it last as long as possible but they stated that it will most likely need to come out at some point down the road. I have had the crown for about 4 or 5 years now and as of last year I have to find a new dentist and I am so sad :'( My current dentist doesn't take Medicaid insurance and that's what I had to get last December since I turned 26 and am chronically broke. I love my dentist and my hygienist and I am so sad that I can't go there anymore (I mean, I can but I would have to pay everything out of pocket).

So that's my wonderful story, I hope you enjoyed :))

I broke my tooth hat just before the Christmas holidays (on my upper incisor - so very noticeable). They finally squeaked me in for an appt before New Years. The very next day I was flossing and managed to pull half a molar out. (Cat be strong lol).
