Most of the problems humans have with _teeth_ would be obviated if we had _tooth_ instead: One horseshoe shaped multi-radicular _tooth_ that went from the second molar on the right clear around to the second molar on the left. Think of it seriously... No interproximal spaces, small perio lesions would be inconsequential, in fact, one of the very few draw backs I can think of is that the smile would be ugly as sin... I propose that in spite of this last, we move the human gnathology evolutionarily towards one big honkin' _tooth_ and therfore eleminate many of the dental problems we now observe.

Trimming a horse's teeth is called "floating" .

Not at all. Many of the veneer cases that I have seen appear to be exactly that! They do not look like teeth. They look like some kid and stuck an orange skin in his mouth and the orange skin is bright white.

'Specially when they keep grinning like some deranged idiot because they're PROUD of them???? It's a delicate situation...

Dr. Steve - 10 Oct 2004 02:34 GMT How about a beak ?
>> >> >Liquid diets rot teeth! >> >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >What say you, learn-ed colleagues? ;-) >esSPee W_B - 10 Oct 2004 03:10 GMT >How about a beak ? Now that is an interesting study.
The avians beak and tongue are very different from the mammals.
We had one LoveBird that would never trim its beak no matter what tool that we provided.
Once per month, I had to manually trim it. Leather gloves and all that.
Don't have birds anymore.
Did like the morning song. It was uplifting. Had to vacuum a bit more often though.

Dr. Steve - 10 Oct 2004 03:46 GMT I use a green store on Buddy-Marie's beak on a regular basis. She does not wear it down on the provided devices in her cage. No gloves needed. She knows not to bite her family members.

Water is H2O and sugar is C6H12O6... Water has no sugar unless it is put there.
