Anyone else lost half a tooth from a ‘KIND’ nut bar?

The irony of the brand name isn’t lost on me 😁 But seriously, these nutty bars are so hard, especially if kept in a cold kitchen like mine.
Be careful when you eat one, that’s all I’m saying.

No, but I did lose a bit of tooth while eating scrambled egg on toast.

Your tooth was probably weak to start with. Sympathise though.

Thank you. It seems you were unlucky, given your relatively soft choice of food!

Dentist here. It’s very unlikely that a food of any description caused a breakage in a tooth. It’s likely that the tooth was already weak

Once the tooth is damaged anything can break it. I had half my front tooth snap off biting a hotdog. I didn't even feel it happen I just suddenly felt a large lump while chewing and had to fish it out.

Ex boyfriend lost a crown with one and said he would never eat one again!

I broke a tooth eating a lindt truffle 😂

I chipped a tooth as a child and the dentist put a cap on it - it came off while I was eating a potato waffle Grin

DanaScullysLegoHair · 19/02/2026 19:02

No, but I worry about it! I eat very carefully around my crown.

My DP lost a filling eating a Mr Whippy ice cream 😆

I lost a filling eating Thornton’s toffee once. But now I really fancy a piece of thornton’s toffee.

I broke my tooth on a fruit cake. That I'd made. When I was 25.

Not my finest moment.

I'm 54 and have never made a fruit cake again...

I have a gap between my front teeth. When I (rarely) eat pizza it cuts my gums.

Anyway, I was eating some Christmas cake with those little silver balls on the icing and I chipped a tooth. It wasn't even a nice cake. 🥹

I broke a front tooth on a Solero lolly. It’s crap when they break.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 19/02/2026 19:21

I looked at them as a healthy alternative snack and my second thought was “my teeth” - glad I was clearly right sorry about you though

That's awful when that happens and the food wasn't even worth it 💐

I chipped a tooth on an abnormally hard beef hula hoop when I was 13, I think it had been fried or cooked twice.

Gosh, I haven’t had that stuff in years. It was awesome, especially the toffee with nuts in. Lord knows what damage that would inflict though!

I broke the corner off a molar when I was a student on pork crackling when a flatmate made a roast dinner Obviously it hadn’t ‘crackled’ to crispness, and was still at the stage of being very hard and tough.

I broke a molar on a crisp! One crisp FFS!
