the extra tooth

My milky teeth took a while to fall out, and when I was nine, I realised that I had my permanent teeth growing behind my milky ones. The dentist quickly asked for some X-Rays of my mouth, and she found out I had an extra tooth hidden between my permanent superior incisors (that didn't grow yet).

 

She recommended us to a surgeon and soon the menace was out of my out. As you can see by the pictures, it was so big that he had to saw it before taking it off.

 

Sometimes I wonder about how horrifying it would have been if said extra tooth had the chance to grow.
