There are some things you never want to hear in life. Your dog is dead. Your girlfriend/wife is cheating on you. That ain't a melting Snickers bar in your hand. You know the drill.
Well, add a new one to the mix: There's a tooth stuck in your head.
It seems Australian rugby player Ben Czislowski ran around for 15 weeks with a tooth stuck in his head from a collision he had during a match on April 1st. The cut was stitched up after the collision with 'ol whitey still in his head.
Needless to say, having a tooth stuck in your dome will have an impact on your play.
Czislowski for weeks felt lethargic, had an eye infection and constant headaches. It was finally taken out by a team doctor who discovered it during a checkup. He even kept the damn tooth just so he could prove to people it actually happened.
"I've got the tooth at home, sitting on the bedside table," he said. I'm sure that impresses the ladies every time.
If you think this is a once in a lifetime kind of injury, you'd be wrong. In 2004 Australian Shane Millard had a fang removed from his head during a game.
Even more bizarre was in 2002 Australian Jamie Ainscough's arm became so badly infected while playing for Wigan in England there were fears it would be amputated before the source was discovered. It was a rival's tooth.

1 in a million shot, Doc!
That is awesome. I suppose it's less embarassing then finding a drum stick up your ass... not that that's ever happened to me of-course...
Did the dude at least put it under his pillow for the Rugby Tooth Fairy? She might have left him a quarter (of a brain).
