If you have no option for better teeth, how much does that impact you? Serious question.
I really should have framed my example in terms of happiness rather than quality of life.

There are many terrible diseases today for which there is no effective treatment. Do you believe people are happy with that situation? I don't.
I do. Archeological evidence of American colonists' bones reveal that they worked extremely hard and died young. Look at their clothes in a museum - they look like childrens' sizes. Look at their teeth in bones in museums. Do you prefer teeth like that?
I can buy an orange any day of the year. I have hot/cold running water. I'm warm in winter. I have clean water to drink. I have ice cream in the summer. I have endless entertainment at the push of a button. I can talk at any time to any family/friend anywhere in the world at my whim.
I'd probably be dead by my age if I lived 200 years ago.
