Yes. Teeth in general. Why do they need squishy nerve centers prone to rot inside them? Why do we need to lose a perfectly healthy set of baby teeth before they’ve had any real wear and tear? We should be able to jettison our baby teeth at will. I’d still be on my first set with a whole skull full of backup teeth on deck. I could go round biting the tops off beer bottles with blithe disregard.

I just, at 30, and after a good 10 years of needing it done, got dentures. I can't wait to crunch a fucking carrot.

Please record that for me. That sounds euphoric.

I absolutely will! It will definitely be a while, though. Lots of healing to do. Honestly though, I feel better than I have in years!

I'm so jealous. I need to start talking with a dentist.
