A “Live ” Tooth.
To receive an electric shock every time she put a fork into her mouth has been the unpleasant experience of a young lady, an ex-resident of Greymouth, who now re-
sides in Canterbury, says the Grey “ Star.” There is, of course, an explanation, but it is unusual, and has nothing to do with the power board. Consulting a dentist in Christchurch, the patient was informed that she was getting an electric shock, caused through two different amalgrams having been used in the filling of one of her teeth, and the tooth being extra sensitive. “It always makes me sit up when I put a fork in my mouth,” was her description. The dentist stated that it was only the second case of its kind he had known in twenty years.
