In the 1800s, several patients in the US complained of their teeth exploding in their mouths. Dentists proposed theories, including gas buildup within a decaying tooth and the use of old-fashioned chemicals to make fillings. The latter theory suggests that if two different metals were used in the same mouth, it could turn their mouth into a battery, causing spontaneous electrolysis and a build-up of hydrogen within a tooth. The tooth could then either explode due to pressure or be ignited, say when smoking a cigarette. However, there is no evidence these patients had fillings, and the phenomenon stopped happening around the 1920s.
