Nobody likes reading about teeth. Nobody likes talking about teeth. Nobody likes hearing about how you’ve just made a dental appointment, or how you’re just off to the dentist, or how you just got back from the dentist. If you’ve ever tried broadcasting your dental successes (“No fillings!”), or if you’ve ever expected sympathies and commiserations over an impending root canal, you’ll more likely get a grimace and a “Meh”. Talking about teeth only serves to remind your friends and colleagues that they are themselves long overdue for an appointment.
