That’s metal.
I’m skeptical, but not willing to call this bullshit without doing some research. I’m also not working to do the research at this time
Idk I watched some documentary about human history. one thing I recall was that they talked about how people used to die a lot from dental issues. They had old like 5000 year old skulls and was pointing out how some teenager likely died from a bad molar due to the damage on the jaw.
They thing I remember mostly is that they said that modern dentistry had done more to extend human life span than general modern medicine. Because of teeth being so close to the brain, blood infections and abscesses could potentially get through the sinuses and kill people.
Wish I could remember the source material better.
It’s possible it was from the PBS series “becoming human”.
That’s my best guess. But yeah. Dental stuff. Dangerous.
It’s such a fuckin crime that dentistry IS considered somehow separate from general modern medicine. Are teeth not part of our body?
Luxury bones
Welp…that’s enough Internet today.
Messed up teeth can wreak havoc on your health, they just make you constantly sick all the time. It sucks. If I ever get my teeth fixed and it involves removing a bunch of them I probably won’t go this route, but I kinda get it. The dental equivalent of mounting your nemesis’ head on a pike.
