I went to the dentist today and had an ‘orthopantomogram‘ done of my teeth. It’s some sort of rotating, thin-sliver x-ray of my head with very low-dosage x-rays (1/25th of my yearly budget of gamma rays).  Nothing exciting. Just a bunch of old silver fillings from when I was a kid. She also pointed out I had a fractured nose in the past. I think this happened in 3rd grade.  I vividly remember crashing face first into another kid and having a bloody nose for the better part of three days.

  1. 28 teeth. I heard on NPR that adult humans have 36. I didn’t actually know how many I had so I counted. 24 teeth! Where did one third of my teeth go?

    Nice xray.
