 MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) -- A Mobile County woman's Halloween fun turned into a medical emergency. Part of her costume took a frightening turn. 
 
 Anna Tew was ready to start creeping around in the dark this coming Halloween in her new zombie costume. But she's the one who got the scare when she realized her fangs weren't going anywhere. 
 
 It cost Anna Tew nearly $3 to finish her transformation into the undead. But the expense grew when her fake teeth wouldn't come out. 
 
 "I was trying to remove them then because they were just tight," Tew told WKRG. Tew used the glue that came with the teeth, however, the adhesive wasn't temporary. 
 
 Tew says, "It went on and on and I was trying to get them out, and after it was over with, I tried until it was like 2 o'clock this morning. They wouldn't budge." Tew continued, "I even took a pair of wire clippers and cut the tips off of those." She says she was in excruciating pain but wasn't sure whether to go to the emergency room. Eventually, she found an emergency dentist who could help. 
 
 "He talked about drilling. They had a saw, talked about taking [them] off in sections, and they couldn't numb it because they were scared they would actually pull my teeth out," said Tew. "So he went in and picked and pulled and I squealed like a baby and they got them out." 
 
 Dr. John Murphy was able to rescue Tew's teeth Saturday at his office at the Alabama Family Dental. 
 
 "Just the natural state of your teeth, and your gums can sometimes cause something to adhered and get stuck," Dr. Murphy explains. 
 
 Tew says she learned a lesson and one she hopes to save others from. Tew says she will never use them again.

 Sugar overload isn’t the only danger to a partier's teeth on Halloween. Wearing “fangs” can take a frightening turn, as a woman painfully found out after her “devil teeth” became stuck and required an emergency visit to the dentist. 
 
 Anna Tew, who lives in Mobile County, Alabama, bought the accessory for about $3 to complete her zombie costume and applied the glue that came with the product, WKRG reported. 
 
 With a bridge of spiky fangs attached to her upper jaw, the look was perfect for a Halloween event on Friday night. But when it came time to take out the fake teeth, they wouldn’t budge. Tew tried to remove them until 2 o’clock that morning, with the situation becoming ever more painful. 
 
 Finally, she made an emergency appointment at a dentist. Tew, who did not reply to a TODAY request for comment, described what happened next to WKRG. 
 
 "He talked about drilling. They had a saw, talked about taking [them] off in sections, and they couldn't numb it because they were scared they would actually pull my teeth out," Tew told the station. "So he went in and picked and pulled and I squealed like a baby and they got them out." 
 
 Dr. John Murphy of Alabama Family Dental, who finally removed her zombie fangs Saturday, told WKRG that the natural state of a person’s teeth and gums can sometimes cause an accessory like that to get stuck. 
 
 If you’re planning to apply any “extra teeth” for a spooky look, the American Dental Association cautioned it’s always a good idea to run your plans by a professional. 
 
 “Before applying any chemical or appliance to your teeth as part of your Halloween costume — or any time of year — it’s important to check with your dentist and make sure it won’t negatively impact your oral health,” the ADA told TODAY in a statement. 
 
 It’s better to use fake teeth that don’t require an adhesive because the glue can cause problems with dental work, advised Dr. Craig S. Armstrong, a dentist in Houston, Texas. It’s also best to avoid sticking anything to your teeth if you have veneers, braces, sore gums, sensitive teeth or have just had your teeth cleaned, he added. Read any warning labels on the accessory. 
 
 Tew, who ended up being stuck wearing the fake teeth for almost 24 hours before being freed, said she has learned her lesson. 
 
 “I will never put those things in my mouth again, period,” she told McClatchy.

– Anna Tew certainly had a scary Halloween experience, though not in the way you might think. The Mobile, Ala., woman bought a $3 pair of fake fangs to complete her zombie costume, and she applied them to her teeth using the glue that was included. Little did she know the glue apparently wasn't temporary. After the school bus driver volunteered at a "Haunted Halls" event Friday night, "I tried until it was like 2 o'clock [in the] morning. They wouldn't budge," she tells WKRG. She drank coffee (or "drooled coffee," more accurately, as she tells McClatchy) to see if the hot liquid would melt the adhesive, and she even tried to use wire clippers, all to no avail. By this point she was in pain, but she wasn't sure if the situation merited a trip to the emergency room. After a sleepless night, she ended up at an emergency dentist instead on Saturday. "He talked about drilling. They had a saw, talked about taking [them] off in sections, and they couldn't numb it because they were scared they would actually pull my teeth out," she recalls to WKRG. "So he went in and picked and pulled and I squealed like a baby and they got them out." She adds to McClatchy, "It was almost 24 hours in my mouth. It was painful, scary, all of the above." A dentist tells Today that veneers, braces, sore gums, sensitive teeth, or teeth that have been recently cleaned can all mess with adhesives, and the American Dental Association says in a statement that "before applying any chemical or appliance to your teeth as part of your Halloween costume—or any time of year—it's important to check with your dentist and make sure it won't negatively impact your oral health." (However, it is totally fine to dress up your chickens.)
