        Lol yeah, something like the colossus titan, but put a large underbite on him. Wish I could see what my actual physical skull looks like. I have a gold tooth in the back, too. Would be a gnarly skull.

            I’m poor as all hell. Like I said, my adult teeth have always been fragile. My mother was mid-class and worked a lot of OT at the local mill. I think the dentist smooshed her into getting a gold one. I vaguely remember him saying that it was the overall longest lasting, since I was so young and I’d need it all my life. I guess in his defense I’m mid 30’s now and never had a problem with it, so he could be right?

            My left front tooth (the one between my actual front tooth and canine) is actually a cap that I can’t even afford to get finished. It’s been on for two years now. Basically covid hit and the dental office I was in went under. Then there was a 100-person waitlist to find ANY dentist in my area and I’m still waiting… Not to mention I’ve been laid off…

            So yeah, I’m just as broke as most of my generation, lol.

        A long time ago, around 15-16. I was frequenting the dentist and they said it would be no problem.

        I actually had to have my molars removed. Soft teeth in the family and bad childhood antibiotics have made my teeth very fragile. The dentist said my wisdom might move to my molars and they did.

        Now both my bottom molars are actually my wisdom teeth. Another cool thing, because my adult teeth have been fragile all my life, their roots have grown up to my cheekbones to compensate. My x-rays are wild. I have the longest roots my dentist has ever seen.

        Edit: Also not so cool. I had a root canal and it took 4 hours.
