Kentucky forward Alex Poythress accidentally found a new way to floss on Tuesday night, and it looked extremely painful.

The senior got his teeth caught in the net while following through on an alley-oop slam dunk against Duke.

When thinking about the ways a dunk can go wrong, it usually involves landing awkwardly and/or crashing to the floor. Thanks to Poythress, basketball players everywhere will now remember to keep their mouths closed mid-dunk.

Poythress finished with nine points and seven boards en route to a 74-63 Kentucky win.
