On Monday on Conan, Goggins recalled the incident in his childhood that caused him his teeth. He showed up late in his baseball practice while in 5th grade. as he was returning to centrefield after taking a lap, he caught a baseball in his mouth and recalls that, “my two front teeth were on the ground next to me.”
Having your teeth knocked out as a child is traumatic enough but it got worse for Goggins when the medical professionals weren’t sure what to do. Goggins recalls. “Everyone then freaked out and my mother’s friend at the time picked them up, took me to the emergency room. His teeth were then shoved back up with no novacane. As the story gets painful, Goggins says it worked and the roots reconnected until a year and a half later he dived into a shallow end of a pool and hit the bottom and knocked them out again.
