Plastic Culprit
After 5 to 10 minutes, Dr. Klein could finally say that it was a piece of plastic. Plastic stuck in the mouth was still an understandable thing but what was unbelievable was how did it get there? When the doctors came up with their final explanation it was only to warn the world.
A Flashback
On the other side, Blaire was running a flashback of the past few days in her mind. She didn’t remember trying to open a plastic bag from her mouth. She thought it could be a possibility that she chewed on a pen cap for too long. Honestly, Blaire was just guessing she had no idea about how this piece of plastic got in her mouth.
A Question
Dr. Klein was giving it a deeper thought and was trying to think what could have happened and what was this piece of plastic. That’s the time when one possibility struck in his head. He rotated his chair towards, Sally and Blaire only to ask them a weird question…
What Brand?
Dr. Klein asked Blaire about the type of toothpaste she has been using. She found the question irrelevant as her toothpaste could have nothing to do with the blue plastic stuck in her gums. Yet, as she knew the answer she replied hoping at least now the dentist will tell her something she could understand.
Her Favorite
Blaire told the name of the toothpaste she has been using for years now, Crest 3D White. It is her all-time favorite toothpaste. So, now the time to hear the sad news was quite close and Blaire was in the shock of her life after hearing what Dr. Klein had to tell her.
The Answer
Dr. Klein started explaining to Blaire and her mother that this tiny piece of plastic stuck in her teeth was nothing but a small plastic bead from her toothpaste! Aren’t these crystal beads supposed to clean our mouth?? Then how can it be the cause of pain to Blaire? Well, this wasn’t something only Blaire was about to get concerned with but everyone using toothpaste with microbeads.
