Fallen Tree at Dental Office Turned Into Giant Tooth

The tooth is in front of Kid Care Dental on Central Street.

A tree that fell in front of a Stoughton dentist’s office will now take the shape of a tooth.

The 300-year-old tree, planted when Stoughton was founded, left a 15-foot stump in front of Kid Care Dental when it was damaged during Hurricane Irene according to the Boston Globe.

After some debate, it was decided to turn the tree into a tooth, with work starting on May 13.
