cut a long story short, my best mate was running up the stairs, lost balance, threw his arms out to balance himself, and in the process, accidently knocked in my front teeth.
nothing but blood.

i've broken my top jaw, and the root of my front tooth has a horizontal fracture.
it's pretty fucked up, i can't bite, because my front teeth get in the way of my bottom teeth, hence, i can't eat anything solid.
today i had my 2nd visit to the dentist, they gave me the run down of what i'm in for.
- few months in braces to straighten everything out AGAIN (i only just got out of braces last march.)
- orthopedic surgery. taking out my front tooth, and the root of the tooth as cleanly as possible, then placing in a titanium screw, then waiting around 6 months for the bone to set around it.
- Plate and false tooth. During this time i'm waiting for the screw to set in, i have to get a plate, with a false tooth on it.
- False Tooth. Finally, after all this time, i get my false tooth put onto the titanium screw.
Projected Time: around 9 months.
Estimated cost: $10,000 AU.

Some years ago, one of my brothers was riding on the front of a bike and ate the asphalt! A motorist brought him home all bloody and shit and my mom had the presence of mind to send me out looking for the teeth, front uppers, I didn't know where to look, but after a while, there they were, cars driving over them, we put them in a saltwater towel, guess what? 22 years later, they work fine! I still think that's incredible, they had to be out of his head for about 2 hours!
Ugh!
Good luck to your "best mate"

i like dentists because they give you free toothbrushes.
sue your friend for the damages!

TASTY!
I put my front teeth through my bottom lip once. I've got plenty to spare so nothing left but a tiny scar, then again, that was about 22 years ago too (weeeirrddddd, Ed's bro and myself were BOTH horrid klutzs back in the day).
Only other tooth horror story I have was a wire run in my gum to straighten a tooth out that was coming through wrong. That was fun.

I thank you for your infinite wisdom. I shall lick you now!
*LICK*

i'm not gonna sue my mate or anything for it, its just stupid, and the typical american way of doing things.
the school is more than likely going to pay for all of this, which is just aswell, considering my health cover wont cover me on orthodontic work anymore, because i've already had braces.
i'm not taking it out on the dentists or my mate or anything.
i could sit all day with dentists inflicting pain on me, and would not complain one bit. as long as they fix this.
but yeah, i'm feelin pretty crap at the moment. in a fair bit of pain, didn't wake up till 2pm today because of the pain killers i took last night. i only just got out of braces, only to have my teeth fucked up, and i'm not gonna be able to eat again for quite a while.
