Agreed. When someone of any size or age hands an aggressor their ass, it's almost always due to the assailant's own unforced errors caused by their uncontrolled words and actions. So, be careful what you say and do if you want to go home safely with your teeth still in your mouth, not in your pocket.

Will a dentist replace my teeth with those in my pocket? Don't have to be my own

Less than half of the punches thrown land.

Only a third of their effort has any effect on their opponent. This is winning.

But again, what are the conditions, it seems to change depending on the point you're making. Now someone in a street fight can be assumed to have no functional defense.

I'm not sure I follow here. Why would my actions be 1/3 effective?

Haha! I'm sure that if you have the money, they have the time to give you a brand new set of teeth. No problem. Lol

What better time to invest in teeth insurance than right now

Yes, sir. Always make sure that your health insurance plan includes full coverage for major dental and chiropractic care. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Just saying!

You are absolutely right. Don't have them as of right now, the arrogant power of youth is what sustains me right now. Better get it done

As a Canadian I have full health care, but teeth are considered "luxury bones" at both federal and provincial levels.

This guy not so much.

The funnies thing I have seen is two guys going outside the pub for a fight
Both took out their dentures
Rockhead won the fight
He came back into the pub picked up the loosers teeth and threw them on to Vitoria rd
It is Sydney’s busiest street the teeth were run over by many cars
Rockhead then put his own teeth back in but they didn’t fit
He had thrown his teeth on the road

Hahaha! Older guys like that are affectionately referred to as Good Ole Boys here in Texas. Lol

He would have been in his early 40’s at the time
I was sitting with George Barnes the wrestler who toured the states quite a few times
We were in stitches

Even with pretty good insurance I was still out $5K out of pocket to fix my chipped front teeth.
My ex's new boyfriend threw a beer bottle in my face and broke them. So I gave him a drink of water.
