It simply gets worse for her as she morphs into a distaff Quasimodo. She later has the toothache treated, but her BodyHorror [[HereWeGoAgain happens again]] when she needs braces.

** And in many cases, the soreness will come back every time you get the braces tightened, until you've had them on long enough and had them adjusted enough times that your mouth becomes used to the routine.

* A German dentist, in an effort to save time, gave his patient ''fourteen'' root canals in one appointment. She later sued because of the excruciating pain she suffered afterward, since he used cognac rather than Novocain or laughing gas.

* Actually averted now with root canals: modern medicine has made it so it's more tedious than anything else. Of course, your jaw probably will be sore after holding it open for so long however.

* Happened to Denise Nickerson who played the gum-chewer Violet in ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''. Because sugar-free gum in the 1970s was unsuitable for blowing bubbles, she had to chew the regular version in every scene. After filming had completed, she wound up with 13 cavities.
* About long as people throughout history has been recording accounts of their dreams, it has been noted that people who are experiencing a period of time where they are feeling intense stress or anxiety (usually when faced with some radical change or new phase in their life) has a much higher tendency to dream of their teeth decaying or falling out.

* Many {{masochists meal}}s aren't dubious because of taste or origin, but because they are so damnably hard trying to chew (or worse, ''bite'') them will only end in suffering. [[IndestructibleEdible Hardtack]] was known for costing sailors their teeth, and in one example that's lasted into the modern age [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicharrón Chicharrones]] are what keeps dentists in South America (especially Colombia) rich.

This overlaps with AttackTheMouth if this is done deliberately.
