Painful dental experience - twins

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Based at RAF Acklington,Northumberland circa 1956 I had a tooth removed by the RAF dentist. It transpired that the tooth had a third roopt which was left in underneath the adjacent tooth and this caused infection to occur which required me to spend a couple of days in the sick bay having regular penicillin injections. I then had the third root removed.
Going home on leave I met up with my identical twin brother and it turned out that within 24 hours of my initial tooth extraction he had had had the same tooth removed, had subsequent problems with a third root and required further treatment.l
I have never experienced anything to suggest that as identical twins wre had any kind of telepathic connection although we still at 75 years old react very similarly to all that goes on around us.
