    Not really, I got to keep all my wisdom teeth and if food goes back that far and gets stuck, I gotta unhinge my jaw like a snake to floss it out.

    I can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t, unless they’re experiencing pain somwhere. Please enlighten me.

      Everything is munch-munch-munched by the time it gets to the back teeth, which have like 12 identical clones earlier on in the mouth. My incisors and canines are strong enough to do everything before it gets to the molars anyway, i have to really go out of my way to chew stuff with them.

    I know this is shitty ask lemmy but yeah you use all your teeth. Losing just one causes a cascading effect. It puts pressure on other teeeth.

    Now for the shitty answer: you still use your teeth to eat food? Fucking peasants.

    I personally just prefer my zirconium teeth.

        I helped myself to your mom when she was under!

        Dentist will take control and we will take your teeth!

        Vivia la revatoothion!

        Ban me if you must but two other dentists will take my place and they’ll be named Scott!

    I had a rotten wisdom tooth extracted 4 ish years ago. It was a complete cluster fuck and I had to deal with the pain for almost 3 days. It was torture. Had to force myself to eat soft food like a yogurt and a banana on the opposite side of my mouth two times to simply be able to function. I’ve noticed that I still favor that side of my mouth to this day, but I’m consciously forcing myself to use both sides equally.

    I don’t often use the canines since I don’t eat flesh, but the rest is used, of course
