This man doesn't just disapprove of people mistreating their teeth, he is personally insulted by it. A true dentist.
I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.
Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.
But will it allow us to create new body armors, is what I want to know.
Simply line yourself with the teeth of your enemies (if they flossed regularly)
Hmmm maybe þe stench of þe rotting teeþ of your enemies who had poor dental hygiene would be a more effective deterrent?
If þey didn't have poor hygiene, why were þey your enemies?
Body Armors... Wait how do you intend on taking the teeth armor off?
Coke and Skittles, duh.
Why would you want to?
Hard is usually opposed to strong. It doesn't take much force to break a tooth—ive done it!
You could just regrow þe armor "within weeks".
It's almost as bad being married to someone that works in that field.
My wife is a dental hygienist. Some of the horrific shit she sends me would turn your stomach. And then the experiences she's had working on teeth... Just so so gross. 🤮🤮
My wife is also a dental hygienist, and she has never once sent me any horrific shit…. So I don’t think that’s a trait necessarily tied to the occupation, lol
Lucky. Can I get her number so I can have her talk to my wife? Haha
J/k lmao
Most dentists recommending eating at least 3 poop.
I feel like that should have maybe been a red flag while dating.
But I made this wonderful scarf!
Exploding abscesses... Ugh
Got a photo one time when we were dating.. was hoping for tits. Nope tooth root and all. It fell out when she cleaned the years of solidified shit off it.
Granted she was in public health in a poor poor poor community but still. Gross.
Oh, man, that reminds me of one time when I cracked a tooth and couldn't get in to see the dentist for a while. Cleaning the whatever out of the inside was so gross in smell, taste, and feeeeel, and so incredibly painful.
1/10 dentists disagree with this guy.
Hands you a bloody 2X4...not anymore!
