Huh, that's actually pretty accurate. In fact, 'normal' molars sound the same. In a former life, a nice American chap yanked one of mine out whilst in Kandaha

Huh, that's actually pretty accurate. In fact, 'normal' molars sound the same. In a former life, a nice American chap yanked one of mine out whilst in Kandahar and it sounded like that - only he also broke a part off the jaw too, so that could have been some part of the sound. He informed me with a slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry but I think I just broke your jaw bone." In a later development, the bone began to be rejected by my gum and was pushed up and out. Broken bone is surprisingly sharp and rather than carry around the little calcium razor one of my Corporals kindly volunteered to pull it out with a pair of needle nose pliers. Happy to say the latter operation was a complete success.
