Ah, yes, the Sun King. You might think this diet might cause a dental problem, especially considering the hygiene of the time, and his did. What his doctors, the best of the time, did about it you don't want to know, but it resulted in a permanent, cauterized hole all the way up into his Majesty's sinus, and oh, I forgot to mention, there was no such thing as an anesthetic back then. When I'm asked if I'd like to time travel back I usually answer, "Not before novocaine. Nope."

When I had my wisdom teeth extracted 14 years ago, it resulted in a hole from my mouth into my sinus cavity. Fortunately, after a month, it closed up, but it was a bitch to eat and drink in the interim. I was instructed the same day of the surgery to rinse my mouth with water and salt. I drank it and within a few seconds of swishing, to my shock, it disappeared from my mouth... but I hadn’t swallowed a drop ! A few seconds after that, it all came cascading out my left nostril all over the sink. =8-0>
