    Wow. This is visceral, makes my teeth hurt just reading it. Excellent word choice, all the sharp consonants makes the impact of each line all the heavier. The action here hits hard and fast. I think β€œspontaneous” is the word that stands out most to me, showing that this sudden dental agony isn’t the result of anything but bad luck, and that’s scary in and of itself. Cool haiku, taking a real world injury and making it graphic enough to qualify as a horror story in 17 syllables
