Riding my bike / broke my tooth
When I was 15 years old, I was riding my bike going down hill and tried to do a sharp turn. Sure enough flipped over and hit my teeth on the bike handle and chipped my tooth.
The chip was not significant, but I always felt it being sharp when I would rub my tongue on it. At first my dentist just smoothed it down. Finally, after a year or so, got it filled. Unfortunately, I had it fall it couple times until finally I got it capped.

As a kid, my anxiety would increase leading up to a dental appointment
As a kid, I always dreaded going to the dentist – many times even it if was for a normal cleaning. The worst was when I found out that I needed a root canal. Ban in the day, like 30 thirty years ago, there was no Google.
I remember when my dentist told my mom, he has to come back for a root canal. I was like no way, I am not going back. It sounds too painful, etc. Now looking back, I see that my anxiety was un-founded. Also, I wish dentist(s) back then would explain things a little better. This would have made me as a kid much more relaxed.
