Narrative

Injured EE was tying a piece of rebar back into place after moving it to clear a concrete wall form. As EE was pulling the tie wire tight, the pliers slipped free, striking EE in the upper right side of mouth/face. This resulted in the upper, second tooth to the right from center, tooth being chipped and loosened.
