#70 Space Dentistry, Turkey Teeth and Frisky Koalas
Today, we’re diving into some cool and crazy topics! What happens to your teeth when you’re up in space? Who knew that floating around in zero gravity could mess with your teeth so much? We’re talking less saliva, more cavities, gum disease, and even something called "odontocrexis" where your dental fillings might just not hold up at high altitudes.Okay - they could explode. Wild, right?
And if space dentistry wasn’t enough, we revisited the viral sensation of "turkey teeth." People continue to visit Turkey for low cost dental work, and let's just say, it’s not always a happy ending. We’ll share some stories about botched jobs, unlicensed "veneer techs," and the legal mess that follows.
