Fracking german engineering. More like lack of engineering. If one of my engineers did the stupid shit that was done on this car I would shame them in front of the whole company. Dumbasses.

This is accurate information.
Genetics has as much to do with teeth strength/durability as proper daily care and biannual visits/cleanings....especially for those of us reaching higher ages.

Watch this video and let your mind be blown. It kept popping up in my YouTube feed about a month ago and I kept ignoring it. I finally watched it and I found it fascinating.

It was an interesting video, Irving.

I do know my step mother has had horrible teeth problems since childhood, and I've heard similar stories from other friends talking about their families as well. It would be silly for me stand strongly on genetics possibilities without having a doctorate in that field of expertise.

With that disclaimer aside, I can reference personal knowledge about grinding my teeth while I sleep due to apnea symptoms and I've had crowns required because of cracked teeth. I do believe (in my case) there is evidence the cracking was caused by the grinding. So if anyone here has heard from a spouse or friend that you grind your teeth while sleeping/hold your breath for long periods while sleeping, please seek some professional medical help to see if you have apnea. It just might save your teeth as well.

I wasn't posting to contend with anything you said. It just reminded me of that video that I thought was interesting.

Nighty bye folks

That was a cool video, both the physiological and sociological implications were interesting. I have fairly ugly teeth, uneven, a Dave Letterman gap, and an overbite. I didn?t take good care as a kid or teen, and somehow still have all 32 teeth, and have only had a couple minor cavities ever. Well, maybe. I?m not convinced the dentist didn?t just claim there were some cavities so that he could drill and fill. Then he screwed up with the numbing, and made me cross eyed for about 6 hours. (Injected into the venous sinus, taking out my sixth cranial nerve, kinda interesting really). I haven?t earned the lack of dental problems I?ve been blessed with so far (except for avoiding meth), so I?m one of the genetically lucky ones.

I really dropped the ball during and after college with respect to flossing and have some pretty large cavities and ended up with a root canal (or two, I can't remember). Then I got jumped and had my head stomped into the concrete floor of a parking garage and broke one tooth in half and chipped another. The broken in half tooth falls off and it usually takes me a year or two to get around to having it repaired again.

Good morning folks
