teeth

It's time for your daily cuteness overload. This time, we've got one of the cutest things of all, but it's something only real cat lovers cat appreciate - teeny-tiny cat teefs. 

That's right, if you're not a cat person, you have stepped into cat person territory right here. Because the same thing that people who are scared of cats are afraid of is exactly the thing that we, cat lovers, love. Love is sharp. Love is getting love bites from your cat and saying thank you.

Thank you, r/teefies, for always having a fresh, purrfect supply of cat teefies to offer and allowing us to feed our cat teefies obsessions without shame. 

Sounds like the daughter really set herself up for this unfortunate predicament. It seems like in all those advice threads that center on what people would tell their younger selves after having gained the hard earned wisdom, is to take care of your teeth. Unfortunately, this girl had her own kind of wakeup call. Hopefully she'll be able to get some dental credit, and get those teeth taken care of when it's all said and done. 

Staring into people's mouths all day has gotta be a bummer, so it's fun to hear about a dentist who takes their job as seriously as a bored Walmart employee. For more weird stuff that happened on the job, here's a pizza deliverer's list of strange people they've met, as well as more people who didn't give a heck.

Meet the clever Achilles! Achilles is a tabby who began to mimicking his owner's, artist Stephanie Isidro, morning routine when he was about a year old. According to Isidro, Achilles would wake up at 5 a.m. everyday just to follow her into the bathroom, sit on the counter and observe her. 

"He sits there just watching me," Isidro told the The Dodo.

One day, Isidro's sister visited her and put her toothbrush in the toothbrush holder, along with Stephanie's. Turns out, Achilles was just waiting for his very own toothbrush because he immediately hopped onto the counter and began taking care of his pearly whites.

"I was over the moon!" Stephanie added. "At first I was shocked over the fact he used my sister`s toothbrush, but then I realized how smart he was to just learn that on his own. He's very intelligent!"

At least Isidro doesn't have to worry about her cat's dental hygiene! 

Achilles is setting a good dental example for all cats!

Bring out the toothy smiles! Or should we say, "teefies"? Teefies is the term used when cats are gracing hoomans (and the world) by showing off their cute little teefs.

And there's an entire subreddit dedicated to those little teefs! R/teefies is jam-packed with all the teefies you can imagine! Happy teefies, angry teefies, judgemental teefies -- they have got it ALL. 

 Can't help but give a 'teefies' smile, when seeing these cats! 

Many of us grow up without really having to think about healthcare or the cost of just trying to survive. However, unfortunately many others don't have that privilege. Twitter user Jon Torsch exemplifies that exact sentiment in this Twitter thread where he goes into detail about growing up too poor to afford to fix his crooked teeth.

We don't want to take sides politically here, but we definitely can understand the stress of not having access to any sort of healthcare!

British Artist, Mrs. McGettrick, started creating stuffed toys with artificial human teeth as a joke in 2010. But that weird hobby is now a successful full-time business venture with her own store on Amazon. It sure makes you wonder why would people buy these weird looking toys...

Going to the dentist can be a very stressful ordeal for a lot of people. They poke and prod you for what seems like hours, and then they inevitably shame the crap out of you for not flossing enough. These crown-worthy memes are here to sooth your nervous fillings. (Sorry.)
