Who's tooth is this??

[Wavingwhiledrowning]

DS and DD decided to find 'treasure' in our garden today. It's a fairly old house, with a very established garden and we've been here less than two years. DS presented me with this. It's a bloody massive tooth. I can't even begin to imagine what it belonged to. Please talk me down from a CSI type scenario 😬

He found it in our veg patch. I'd like to thank dog, but really... do dogs have teeth that big??

^tsk. Think not thank

🤢 I don't know but I kinda want to 😁 you should go out there and have a little dig around!

Fox , just a guess!

Fox or dog

Just googled fox teeth, looks nothing like it!

Do animals have large incisors?

T Rex??

I'm going for human, surely the pointy bit is the root.

Oh god, the top bit does look human 😱

Horse?

Stop digging unless you want a CSI type scenario. 😬 🦴

Why can I see an advert for dental implants halfway through this thread? 🤣

Did I someone once find a skull in their garden during a similar exercise and specialists had to come in? Don't remember that thread right or did I imagine it?

Probably a deer incisor. Do you have photos from any other angles?

Looks like a human tooth 😲

From that aspect it does look quite like a human upper central incisor. Can we have some pictures from the other face or the side?

Looks rather human to me, too

I'd say human also

I got the dental implants ad too.

Can you measure it?
A human upper central incisor is on average 10.5mm from the tip of the crown to the gum line (where it changes colour and becomes the root). The root is usually 13mm BUT this root looks incomplete which could mean it’s a child’s incisor which hasn’t finished developing. Any history of a child losing a tooth in trampoline/pogo stick/skate board related incident in your garden?

Do you have a picture of the top of it?
To see its a canine which has to be from a carnivore or more of a molar shape which could be from a horse or something

It does look human but it is very big!

Nice find op!
I say human

Oh lawks. I absolutely wanted everyone to say dog.
The whole thing is freaking me out.
I'm in bed now (sweet relief... 3 DCs under 5) but I promise to send more multi angle pics tomorrow. After which you will all definitely agree on dog. Or horse, at an absolute push.

I should clarify... 100% definitely not from a child. Its ridiculously big (bigger than any of my teeth) and with the whole root attached (yuk) it's not from an accident.
My SIL is a vet and says it's not a dog or a horse - just to provide scale (I deffo don't want a horse in the veg patch either, so that's something). I'm struggling to think of something in between!
