(1/4) Warning: Gross dental stuff ahead. A couple of months ago, I was eating a tortilla chip and got it stuck in my gum. I thought that it would dissolve eventually, so I didn't think anything about it. I could still feel it in there over the next few weeks, but I assumed it would resolve itself.

(4/4) On the plus side, it's definitely been resolved, and I'm feeling a lot better now. I never would have known that a tortilla chip could cause so much trouble!

(2/4) Fast forward to last week. I started feeling so much pain in my jaw that I could barely eat. In fact, I went on a liquid diet for a couple of days to avoid chewing. This wasn't something that I could deal with for long, so I made an emergency dentist appointment.
