Olympic silver medallist breaks his tooth.

Men’s Olympic luge silver medallist David Moeller has broken a tooth after he bit down too hard on his medal during a photo op. olympics dentist

The 28-year-old German bit off more than he could chew when photographers asked him to carry out the obligatory bite on his prize – to prove its authenticity.

Moeller noted: “It is annoying when you can’t smile as you normally do. And because I want to have nice pictures and happy memories of my Olympic Games, I went to the dentist to get it repaired.”

Meanwhile, gold medal winner Felix Loch carried out the pose for photographers without a hitch – the sign of a true champion.

Elsewhere, WorlDental recently reported anyone who has broken a tooth has been advised not to panic and instead to wash their mouth with warm water and to try to stop any bleeding – while remembering to keep hold of any bits of tooth that have fallen out.
