Skull of a child growing adult teeth

buttonforest · 6 months

Well that closes that case once and for all: children are fucking disgusting little monsters.

Phasechange · 6 months

Oh, man. I got to play with a skull very similar to this recently. The teeth wiggle and stuff, and I spent most of my time wiggling teeth and restraining myself from wiggling them all out. They just wiggle so well!

I've always wished I had shark-like teeth that replaced themselves every couple of months. No more worrying about cavities or plaque. Get a couple teeth punched out? No worries, there's more where those came from!

I always did hate having loose teeth, and now that I know what it looked like on the inside, I'm traumatized...

Chairboy · 6 months

But... the kid was ok, right?

RIGHT?

Seen this pic like a thousand times, and each time it creeps the fuck out of me

Ikkinia · 6 months

This is possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thanks for that.

timmmmah · 6 months

Every time this gets posted people talks about how much it creeps them out. Help me out here... I genuinely have zero reaction to it at all. It's mildly interesting I guess but definitely not disturbing. Does anyone else go "meh" like I do? Why do so many people experience such strong revulsion to it? Am I dead inside? Is it because the internet has erased my creep-o-meter? Is it because my dad was a dentist?

My 3yo bit the dust hard and shoved his central incisor up behind his nose and tore his mouth in half (clean hole).

But he learned to stop running in the house!

Anyway, I was really shocked to see how well-formed and big the teeth are up there. You don't really think about it or look at those kinds of dental x-rays when you take your kids to the dentist. It's not what they're looking for. With these, they were trying to find the tooth in the chance that it was shoved up in his head. Which it was.

The other thing is that when we got his tooth out, it was about 3x as long as any baby tooth you or I ever lose. The dental surgeon told us they disintegrate, but if you pull out a baby tooth, they're quite long. Just like in that picture. Oh, and it's hollow. That you don't see.

This makes me think of the predator for some reason.

Nonono. Get that image out of my head!

Here's one similar to OPs for sale

Im not going to lie to you fine people. I chuckled at the "Condition: Used" part.

mcmb03 · 6 months

does anyone else feel disgusted that their skull once was like this?

BalconyFace · 6 months

implicit dead children.

intra187 · 6 months

It's not really a what the fuck is it? Biology.

Wodniw · 6 months

To everyone bitching about it being a repost:

I've been on Reddit almost 4 years now, and have never seen this. Not even elsewhere on the internet.

So, would you kindly FUCK OFF!?

emilytasticz0rz · 6 months

Reminds me of the inside of a pomegranate

[deleted] · 6 months

Quit posting this picture.

WTF_Regulator69 · 6 months

Pasechane, I just wanted to thank you for your excellent post. We need more of this on WTF these days.

joshmccrillis · 6 months

ITS NOT A CHILD, ITS PREDATOR

Zailmeister · 6 months

Thanks. Now when I look at children, this is what I see.

SandstoneD · 6 months

Wow. That's so disturbing

Purplegoatman · 6 months

Hah, I just took an osteology exam earlier today on dentition...was fiddling around with a skull exactly like this! Yeah it's creepy...alveolar production/resorption and what not O_o

ForzaFan · 6 months

I am really confused. I never knew teeth grew like that and I will explain why and maybe one of you can explain the reality of it to me. When I was younger, my teeth would get loose, and when they finally fell out they were detached from the root. It looked like they had broken from the root. I always assumed the root grew the new tooth. Now it looks like the adult teeth are growing from places I had no idea that they can grow, and do they attach themselves to the root of the old baby tooth as it looks like none of the adult teeth have roots themselves and I never remember any roots coming out with my baby teeth.

jesuswantsbrains · 6 months

This should be a picture of an adolescent by now.

teags · 6 months

I just wish they didn't have to kill the kid to get the skull.

churnopol · 6 months

just gave me the fucking shivers...

Chiparoo · 6 months

Ah! The fact that the adult teeth are already there is how doctors can tell if you have all of your adult teeth at birth. When I was born, the doctors said that I was missing five of my adult teeth. Sure enough-- I am missing one in the front (which has a fake tooth embedded in it's spot!) and my four wisdom teeth. They just never grew in.

niceclicks · 6 months

Thanks for the share! I know its creepy, but I have always wanted to see an x-ray of a baby's head just to all the little adult teeth hiding in the bones.

happybadger · 6 months

Who goes around taking and dissecting the skulls of children? That's just incredibly rude.

Arrow156 · 6 months

so cool

GudomligaSven · 6 months

Remind me how to is WTF again? Also, repost.

5panks · 6 months

You got the title wrong. It should read "Skull of a young adult predator growing adult teeth."

ettoreilgrande · 6 months

And this happens to everyone of us

my_account_is_new · 6 months

tells_you_wtf · 6 months

eyeslikelines · 6 months

You all know its not real right?

Mandibular 12 year molars are out but the maxillary permanent centrals aren't even erupted yet (7-8).

Richard_R · 6 months

Aren't those baby teeth very big?? I don't have any experience studying skulls so it might just be me...

BeamServer · 6 months

Of all of the things on /r/WTF and THIS is the one to creep me out?!? I am so confused by my brain. I know that it is more fascinating than it is creepy, but really I am beyond grossed out by this.

That's actually really cool. I always wondered how the adult teeth thing worked. Now it makes a bit more sense.

All I think of when I see this is a dead child.

It makes me sad.

TIL that children's skulls horrify me. -Though that does sort of sound like a cover up for something.

I'm guessing OP doesn't have a stomach for the biological sciences.

shakamulaka · 6 months

So is this normal or some sort of a rare disease? Please say it's a rare disease.
