Teeth has got to be one of the most disrespected and undervalued parts of your body. Your body’s other bones can heal but then it’s like “fuck your teeth, I’m not doing shit about them”. And then we got health insurance companies who have the gall to not consider teeth an important part of your body that should be covered, got to get it separately and the costs are fundamental.
I mean, you smile with these things and they are key responsible for how you digest food, by chewing on it before swallowing. You can’t just swallow whole pieces of food without risk of choking on them at somepoint.
You can pretty much die from bad teeth, like rot and cavities. It is just a matter of when.
Gum disease has been linked to heart disease and now there might be a link to dementia due to the bacteria that can enter the bloodstream from the mouth.
Research has also shown a link between dental bacteria and heart disease. Not sure if it’s causation or correlation, but keeping your dental microbiome healthy seems to have benefits throughout the body.
Not to mention a tiny fucking hole in them is one of the the most painful experiences in life which only ends if you see a dentist, wait for it to rot, or rip the tooth out yourself.
And that’s not even mentioning how fucked the average persons diet is, it’s practically guaranteed to happen eventually, without intervention.
doesnt work on the biting surfaces, need to invest an electric or sonic tooth brush for that. and regular cleanings from the dentists. also discourage the usage of whitening toothpaste.

Yes, but you’re leaving out how bad a problem gum disease is.
Eyes and skin are not far off if it want for the fact they were replied soon so much. (Re WHS protective goggles , sunscreen)

A tooth infection can easily spread to your brain and kill you. It’s a very short path.
But even if your teeth are just regular bad, that affects how you can eat, and eating is kind of important to living.
doesnt need to spread to your brain, just cause sepsis lowering your blood pressure to dangerous levels, or to a major organ and kill you that way.

The best description for teeth in the context of insurance that I’ve ever heard was “luxury bones”.
mammals pretty much have the short end of the stick as far as teeth and bones goes, we cant replace it often like reptiles can.

Then there is the constant risk of biting on something hard and busting a tooth. I’ve had it happen 3 fucking times.
Have you tried flossing?
