That line comes from Bernie Sanders - "I do not think it is too radical to say that keeping teeth in your mouth should not be a luxury. Medicare must be expanded to include dental care, eyeglasses and hearing aids."
It is the expression "Keeping teeth in your mouth" that caught my attention. Do teeth want to leave? Are they ready to migrate elsewhere? Do they have minds of their own?
I can't imagine a dentist using this expression. But then what are the entertaining dental stories? None to be easily found and shared. What about horrifying stories - no good for a morning read. So then on to something trustable - world records:
#1 Most Teeth : 37. #2 Most Teeth at Birth : 12. #3 Most People Brushing Their Teeth Simultaneously: 16,414. #4 Longest Duration to Hang Suspended by the Teeth: 7 minutes 15 seconds. #6 Youngest Person to Wear Full Set of Dentures: 3. #7 Largest Collection of Toothbrushes: 1,320.
And there's one dentists/gardener joke - perfect for Brian, my brother who is a dentist and gardener:
Did you hear about the dentist who planted a garden? A month later he was picking his teeth.
