Let’s take a break shall we from my many personal woes, all the geo-political horrifics that keep getting worse, the Never Trumpers and Hillary and other masculine women and focus on a topic much lighter–like teeth.
Great strides have been made in dentistry and orthodontia in recent years, If you’ve got time, discretionary income and a dentist with a script pas, you too can you have perfect Hollywood teeth like this:
Was she born with these choppers? I’m no dental expert, but I’d say no.
What about the dental Chiclets on this cat?
I’d say natural….all his original issue toofies with some professional help.
Teeth are interesting. If eyes are the windows to the soul, then teeth are the fence that’s keeps stuff in it and stuff from getting out of it.
Teeth and eyes are what I look at first when meeting a potential Mr. Kendrick…at least that was my MO years ago when I still on the hunt. Now, I just peruse WEb MD looking up symptoms of fatal age-related diseases.
But teeth are vital to our existence. They’re also indicators of life threatening diseases and are indicators of referred pain. A toothache can mean indicate a sinus infection or as Niles Crane on Fraiser learned, a heart anomaly.
We must take care of our teeth. For aesthetics if nothing else.
Teeth can be glorious things and some teeth can star in their own horror movie.. There is NOTHING more gross than gross teeth, But weird, strange, vile teeth aren’t limited to man and womankind.
Animals of all kinds have some very funked up pearly whites…and browns, blacks and grays. Check this out…..’twas pilfered from some Pinterest page. This lovely array of dental love is from the mouth of something called a Frill Shark,
The teeth look like tiny antlers.
This next pic is a squid with teeth
I now feel fried calamari is a justifiable appetizer.
This next set of choppers is brought to you by a Star Nosed Mole.
This next photo is courtesy of Mother Nature on a day she was feeling bitchy,
Baboons. Colorful asses. Horrendous teeth.
And finally, a sheepshead. A fish with more perfect human looking teeth than Steve Buscemi.
In the top photo of the Sheepshead, did you notice that there were teeth all over The upper portion of the fish’s mouth? Well, that’s because of their diets. They eat nothing but oysters and barnacles and once the front incisors have bitten through oyster or barnacle shells, the fish crushes the rest of the shell with the rows and rows of inner teeth and there you have it….dinner.
This treatise on ugly teeth on humans and beasts, both water and land based, has been posted by me as a public service message.. It’s my hope this post will remind you to take better care of your teeth.
And I’ll end it with a vivid reminder: don’t forget to floss.
