It would be nice if your teeth got kicked in with a
steel toed boot that kept kicking and kicking until
you were dead.

Shall we start a pool?

Gum disease?
Poor nutrition?
High blood pressure?
Autoimmune disease?

I'm not interested in why or how someone loses a tooth. It ain't none of my business.

He might have accidentally knocked the tooth out while whacking off.

That's nice Uncle. And awful nice you announced the fact that you
are completely uninterested. I guess it's the asian way to be so
uninterested.

Unca is channeling the ancient Greeks:

Stoic: a member of a school of philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium about 300 b.c. holding that the wise man should be free from passion, unmoved by joy or grief, and submissive to natural law...

Dentist felt sorry for you, because a bad tooth, and also extremely
fucked up in the head.

I thought lost meant one fell out, not yanked.

It should have been placed under his pillow.
I remember waking up to a shiny nickel in its place. It could go towards the taxes.

Not sure if it's the same but I do have teeth, nickels and taxes.
Odd question.

The origins of the tooth fairy varies in numerous cultures, but did you know that most stories actually involve mice? Dating back to the 17th century in France, the origins of the tooth fairy

ties into La Petite Souris, or The Little Mouse.

In the legend, a good queen is imprisoned by a evil king, and enlists the help of a mouse. The mouse, later revealed to be a fairy, frees the queen by knocking out the king’s teeth, later hiding them under his pillow.

It was rumored that if a child lost a baby tooth, and it was found by an animal, the adult teeth would grow back to resemble the teeth of that animal. Since rodent teeth are sharp and strong, families would hope that their children’s human teeth would grow back stronger. Hence, La Petite Souris began.

In other cultures, this legend varies to include beavers, dogs, and even squirrels.

Ancient Myths of Losing Teeth

So, why does the tooth fairy leave money under the pillow? The idea of exchanging a tooth for coins originated in Scandinavia. Vikings believed teeth to be a good luck charm in battle, wearing them on necklaces. When a child lost a tooth, adults would actually pay their children for a lost tooth. Thus beginning the tradition of tooth-for-currency transaction.

The American Tooth Fairy

The Tooth Fairy concept didn’t really take off until after WWII. Similar to how Coca-Cola and Cadbury defined the image of Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, pop culture helped solidify the image of the Tooth Fairy in American media. In the 1950s, comics and cartoons of fairies ran rampant for American childhood.

That's all I have.

I thought you still had that shiny nickel and were going to put it
towards your taxes.

I see.
That is how it started. Life lessons have led me to paying my taxes to avoid being ridiculed in rfc.

Because you went to the emergency bum dentist clinic. He's
possibly a dentist, but not 'your' dentist.

Did they offer to root canal it and cap it? I didn't think so.
All those LED light strips you could have been paying a little
extra for stannous flouride toothpaste. Priorities, you know?

Probably his dentist punched him in the face and that's why he didn't
charge for the extraction.
