Tooth literally hanging by a thread

573 views

I have this vivid memory of when I was a child and pulling out one of my teeth and right when I almost had it done, it was dangling in my mouth hanging on a string of what looked like gums or a vein or something. I want to know if this is my memory playing tricks on me or if this is a real thing.

Could have also been the nerve in the tooth. The nerve is hard to break and can hold the tooth even once the gum has let it come loose.
