I bit down real hard on a steel pellet while eating dove. Just brutal. Both upper and lower molar have been aching since. Dentist is sending me to the endodontist next week. I could be in for two root canals . Fortunately it was the only pellet found among the dozen or so dove consumed that night, and none of my guests encountered any. I’m warning everyone to take it easy chewing the dove, don’t eat like a cave man on a mammoth drumstick. Be careful guys!!
