Comments on: HOW MUCH METAL DO YOU HAVE IN YOU? http://www.metalsucks.net/2007/10/10/how-much-metal-do-you-have-in-you/ IS FOR LOVERS Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dean http://www.metalsucks.net/2007/10/10/how-much-metal-do-you-have-in-you/#comment-828052 Dean Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:31:00 +0000 http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=2622#comment-828052 Sadly, the most metal I have in me is a tooth filling that makes up about 90% of the tooth's mass (it is a rear corner tooth). But what is metal about it is how the filling in question came to be there. See, originally when I had this tooth filled, I went to a moron dentist in a hick bum-fukk place that I had been stuck in for rather too long. It was their considered opinion, of course, that a filling should match the bone around it for form. Now, being that I only have barely enough surgical knowledge to be able to pick metallic fragments out of my outer skin layer with a knife and tweezers, I did not sense something was up. So, fast forward a couple of years, and the same tooth starts to ache profoundly. Off to a dentist I go, and they tell me that whilst the filling would have looked pretty, it was rapidly breaking down and needed to be a) removed, with all of the ouchiness that sounds like entailing and b) replaced with a more leaden-looking filling that would stay in place for longer. I hurt for a week afterward, but you have to admit, Alice Cooper in the mid-1970s would have liked the idea of getting a filling with the surface area of a small coin (about an Australian five-cent piece) and the depth of about half a centimetre/fifth of an inch not only put in but then drilled/sanded out and replaced. ;) Now that, friends, is what you call metal. ;) Sadly, the most metal I have in me is a tooth filling that makes up about 90% of the tooth’s mass (it is a rear corner tooth).
