Both my daughter and I have teeth issues.
She has molar crowding and needs some teeth taken out while I have some
very back teeth that are too damaged to be kept in.
We were joking that I could use her good teeth.

I know that when people have accidents, their teeth can become quite
dislodged and loose, still they survive.
Has anyone ever considered doing a tooth transplant at the time of an
extraction. Can you reconnect nerves to teeth if the injury is fresh.

YUP good humor.

Well teeth can be reimplanted (same person), but when an implant is
planned between two people, there are what we call rejection issues.

The instruments keep messing up when they try to twist the wires into
a Western Union splice.
