I wanted a sweet treat before bed so I grabbed the Welch’s gummies snacks I bought as a healthier alternative to candy. As I’m snacking on them I’m sharing them with my boyfriend who is in a discord call with his brother. The gummies are super chewy and sticking to my teeth hard. As I’m snacking my tooth that U had a root canal on two years ago feels weird. Loose even. I’m sure I’m just imagining it. So I keep snacking away. The feeling is weird so I test the gummy on that side again. I was right, the crown was loose and pops off.
I panic but luckily spit it out with the gummies so I don’t accidentally swallow it. This is just my luck. Guess I’ll call the dentist in the morning and get it fixed. There is gummies gunk all over it so I take it to the sink to clean it off.
As I’m washing it my hands slip and it falls down the sink. I start screaming and laughing at how ridiculous this whole situation is and my boyfriend is cracking up and shaking his head.
After a little bit of fishing I pull it out.
Now I have about a $200-$1000 dental bill to deal with. đ©
TL;DR I almost lost part of my tooth to the garbage disposal.

Welch’s gummies ARE candy lmao
FWIW, those are not healthy.. at all
Those tiny little bags with 8-10 gummies have about 130 calories in them.
It happens. Crowns don’t last forever.
At least the gummy gods blessed you with not swallowing it, and the plumbing gods took pity on you and didn’t make you take the sink apart.
Stares at my husband who did practically the same thing with sour gummi bears and then lost his crown down the bathroom sink requiring me to take the U-bend apart and fish it out of the pipe. So gross. Teeth are gross but pipes… pipes are so much worse.
Oh no! Sorry his happened to you! Hope everything works out ok
I hate to break it to you but you lost your tooth to candy. Theyâre not healthier, try looking up âgreenwashingâ. Itâs the idea that they use green/fresh/fruity imagery to seem healthier or more environmentally sound when in reality theyâre as bad as everything else
Also sorry about your tooth bud
A few years ago I fused my mouth shut with those cherry candies with the goop inside. got my jaw open and the crown attached to it. Also I was at wor! Luckily my dentist is 10 blocks away and just happened to have a cancelled appt, so i literally wrapped it in a tissue and ran there
Those aren’t any healthier than any other candy. What made you think they were?
I have lost a filling to Welchâs gummy snacks before. My dentist said âyou know you shouldnât be eating gummies like that!â And I was like no??? Nobody told me????
