My Body in Nine Parts
“The one that broke last week when I was biting on a piece of chocolate. Hard chocolate.
It’s one of the upper molars on the left. The third one counting from the back of my jaw. How can I make this clear so that you will know which one I’m talking about.
←Yes, that one. The third one on the left, counting from the back. I think it’s a molar. To make sure, maybe I should consult the dictionary to see what it says about molars.
Molar tooth: a tooth adapted for grinding by having a broad wound...ed or flattened though often ridged or tuberculated surface.Specif: one of the cheek teeth in mammals behind the incisors and canines.
That describes exactly the tooth that broke. So it’s definitely a molar.
Those guys who write dictionaries are so good with words. They must have a certain intimate experience of what they describe.
In the case of a tooth, the writer must first spend time examining the inside of a mammal’s mouth. And then he has to find the right words to describe what he has examined.MoreLess
