funny how one "the" flips the meaning of the sentence

I thought I was being paranoid until I started reading the article

I choose to believe this is a freudian slip, which means they're trying to cause tooth decay while pretending to do the opposite.

If I were dentistry as a business, I wouldn't like this permanent (final) solution to tooth decay because of my unreasonably suspicions that the odontological treatment I received as a child was unconsciously intended to make me continue to need 'dental care' instead of fixing anything. Last time I was at a (very expensive private) dental clinic the treatment they pushed on to me was killing my tooth so I would buy one. I'm pretty sure some hugely powerful branch of dentistry is betting on people in my demographic (who get their teeth killed off) buying a full set of teeth from them in the future.

But I would only accept Thompson teeth, the only teeth capable of chewing other teeth

Rise up sheeple, and rinse out your mouth with bleach twice daily to remove any gentech germs! Big Teeth and their engineered bacteria are keeping us down!

Teeth are an abomination and your body works hard to reject them, purifying your mouth and your soul so you can die appropriately shriven of your sin. Big Dentistry is trying to keep you from heaven!
