Many people take little notice of their teeth other than daily brushing and flossing, but they’re actually vital tools that shouldn’t be taken for granted. Though our teeth are obviously essential for speaking clearly and eating properly, their jobs run much deeper than those aspects. They help strengthen the jawbones and fill out our faces to keep our cheeks from looking sunken. On top of that, the teeth are our keys to being able to consume a healthy, well-rounded diet.

• What award did the dentist win? A little plaque.
• What do dentists call the x-rays they take of patients’ teeth? Tooth pics.
