Yes yes yes

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth!

[hammerofglass]

Well that just seems like a good way to need your wisdom teeth pulled twice.

[Thebestoftherest]

I don't care, I got a chip tooth and I want a proper ione.

[J!!]

As someone who's never taken as good care of my teeth as I should, I've alwayse hoped that this will be available by the time I need it.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

I hope it will be cheap and widely available to the people who actually need it, rather than just something impractical to all but the super-rich.

[J!!]

Most likely it'll start off expensive, and become more affordable over time.

Being classified as a drug, it'll probably be easier to get covered by insurance, as opposed to a device like dentures, or something like implants. But without knowing more specifics, it's hard to really say at this point.

[Madner Kami]

It's gonna have to be cheaper than dentures. That's a given.

We unlike my famiky I was actually granted with a mouth full of chompers that are very durable. But I know how it works in America. Got to have that perfect smile. Durable teeth with no cavities but my teeth are not perfect. I have to fuck them up to look good.
