I have superglue stuck on the back of my teeth.
Yes, superglue... here's the story:
So do you remember the story where I fell down from my bike cause it's really stupid and hates all of mankind? Well you see, I never said anything about my glasses that day, as it sort of came apart. If you see me in school, I can show you the crack on the frame (the lenses are okay).
Since my glasses are slightly broken, as in like, it snapped on the top left side of the left lens, our family bought some superglue to fix it. The frames stayed perfectly the first time we glued the thing together. Life proceeded.
Panoptica...
Eventually life brought me to a place called my dining table around 11:00PM. The task at hand was to complete a relatively long program for AP Computer Science while chatting on AIM. The objectives were easy to accomplish but they caused a memory overload, causing my brain to slightly overheat. Now, when my brain starts to overheat, my entire body starts to get warmer and warmer.Critical temperature was reached in a few short minutes. Water was not available at the time due to the additional energy needed to maintain a maneuver called "Get-my-lazy-bum-out-of-the-chair." As a result, my body automatically went into emergency mode. As my mind raced through the options, the thought of taking my shirt off seemed extremely pleasing. So I proceeded.
Well, I happened to wear an especially small shirt that day, thus it caught my glasses as it slipped over my head. The superglue must have weakened as the glasses instantly let go. I immediately went into my room for the superglue. The problem now? The glue dried up near the top, so I couldn't open the cap.
Well, what did I choose to do? I stuck the thing in my mouth... and twisted to try and open the cap. One instance my mouth was nice and juicy from all the natural fluids, the next was warm and a bit sticky from superglue. My head went down to the sink and started flushing the glue out of my mouth.
The thing about superglue is that it doesn't like to dry under wet surface, so my actual mouth part survived intact. But my teeth had remnants of the glue left over. I tried washing my teeth under water for some 20 minutes to no result. Now, every time I extend my tongue, I touch some hard, bumpy surface.
As a result of this superglue in my mouth thing, I bough acetone from Publix after school the next day. Lets just leave it that acetone tastes like really bad alcohol, and doesn't really remove glue from your mouth.
As of tonight, the glue is more than 90% off due to the acidity of saliva. I never thought I would love my spit so much.

My 10 y/o daughter just did the same thing. I assume that you are older then 10 so I guess that she is not the oldest kid to do something that... well you know. Anyway we found an article suggesting margarine to soften and remove it from teeth. Thanks for your post because we had a chuckle and she feels better about it.
