Beware of rice cakes.......!

Almonds can be a killer too! I am about to have a crown fitted due to forgetting to nibble the almond with my (fairly strong) front teeth before chowing down. I only buy packets of single nuts now, pecans, walnuts and brazils which I can just about manage if they are smashed up with a rolling pin.

Have hope Katek. I tripped and fell flat on my face, chipped one front tooth and made one of the big ones feel wobbly. Three years on it still doesn't feel that secure (no biting into apples for me!) but it's still there and my dentist x-rays it now and then and thinks it's OK. I hope you will be lucky too.

Can I join in? All about the same ...it started with an olive and then it just snowballed. Emergency repair kit sounds a great Christmas tree present!

Dental floss took one of my fillings out recently. And my dentist, after I'd slightly dislocated my jaw, said chewing gum [I was trying to stop smoking at the time] was really bad for you teeth/jaw. Can't win. Now take an emergency repair kit with me when I go away #thejoysofoldage

Years ago I lost a filling on a Malteser.

DH managed to damage a tooth(lost a filling) on a jelly baby.

I broke a tooth on a piece of lettuce!!! I think there may have been a small piece of grit in it.

Beware dried bananas. A friend broke her tooth biting into one.

So many foods are dangerous as we get older and have a mouthful of fillings. I've got more fillings than teeth.

I broke a tooth on a scone!!

My dentist friend says muesli is a big money spinner for her- pays for her holidays!

And pork crackling is dangerous!

I had a snack in an upmarket supermarket today and had a mozarella, cheese and pesto foccacia (sp) as a snack. The knife had problems, never mind my teeth so I left half of it before I incurred a large dental bill in the very near future.

Yikes! That's always a danger with popcorn, too.
