You're welcome. Despite what the other respondent said, yes they are immune to all forms of decay and have actually increased my strength by 4D6.

I am not actually sure if they can be replaced if needed. Maybe they could hold a 5G antennae or something. I'll ask my dentist next time I visit.

You would have to open your mouth and point it at a 5G antenna to get a signal. But AM radio would be fine.

The tooth radio idea reminds me of a bit from a children’s story but I can not place it.

Fat Men From Space, by Daniel Pinkwater

Yes! Ha! I read this in the library of my grade school. Thank you for the memory.

I loved Daniel Pinkwater as a kid. He had such a wonderfully weird aesthetic. Thanks for the reminder, because I have little kids now and had forgotten about him. Borgle! Lizard Music! The Hoboken Chicken Emergency!

:) At first I thought it was Ronald Dahl and that sent me on a bit of a dive with him. But it turns out he was just another author in my mind at that time.

Did you watch Reading Rainbow by any chance? That was a meaningful show to me in these times. Eventually my biggest fandom went to Brain Jacques and the Redwall series.

I've been going through Roald Dahl with my 5-year-old and it's been delightful. It has kind of made me want to do my own audiobook recording of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. James and the Giant Peach was a hit, of course, as was Matilda. We're doing The Witches right now, which I had never read as a kid. It's kind of at the edge of what my son finds too scary, though.

My son has started to notice that all of Dahl's heroes have terrible family lives in some way, and he's questioned why it's necessary. I think he starts to worry that it might happen to him. I've tried to explain to him that, because the stories aren't real (which is a concept he's comfortable with already), it's a useful shortcut for a writer to make us sympathetic to them. I think he gets it.

No- care is basically the same, but the risks can be much larger. Your gums etc. are still at risk from bacterial buildup, and plaque etc live on your teeth more than they use it as a food source. Implants still develop plaque and calculus.

If the gum starts receding from a tooth or an infection occurs, there are still barriers between it and the bone, and the body can repair some damage. Implants pass the point of no return far more quickly. If you get an infection around the implant, the bone around the implant will start breaking down and the implant will reject.

I was warned about this a lot over the years, though thankfully have not had a problem. I use an electric toothbrush now and that was a game changer in general.
