This should make you even more aware of how remarkable the human body is, that each of those teeth has a particular place to be, and they mostly end up in the proper place. (Yes, all living things are remarkable.)

I had 7 extra wisdom teeth. XD those teeth did NOT have any particular place to be. The dental surgeon said if I’d been born in a time before modern dentistry, the wisdom teeth would have become impacted and probably have killed me before I was 25 XD

I still have one of my baby teeth. The adult tooth never pushed out - still in there above the kid. Sometimes I want to be like that hiding tooth.

I had a baby tooth too, because the adult tooth was growing completely sideways into all the roots of the others like "I'm on an adventure!". Had to have surgery to remove some of bone from my jaw to get it out and put an end to its shenanigans.

Everytime my daughter was teething she would run a fever and the Dr always said running a fever has nothing to do with teething. I'm not a Dr but it looks like to me some teeth are near the sinus cavity . I was right !!

It's false. The image is of hyperdontia, a condition where too many teeth are formed. Don't google it, the images are disturbing!

This isn't quite accurate. Yes, it can happen, but it's pretty rare, it happens when there's a hole in the membranes around your brain or spinal cord, not just to reduce brain pressure, there's usually other symptoms associated with it, and if it does happen, you should see a doctor. It can heal on its own, but it also puts you at a risk for meningitis.

So it'll take what little information it was able to grab and fill in the missing blanks. There's another way your brain kind of lies to you. If you cover one, the reason you don't see a big black void in your vision is because the brain basically makes up and fills in the missing parts based on the surroundings.

I have vision loss in some parts of my eyes (I'm going to a eye specialist on tuesday and I'm scared of what might be wrong) so my brain does this all the time, it's really weird because sometimes I don't see things because they're at the "wrong" place for my eyes and they just fill out the gap with whatever is beside. So like on a paper some of the things that's written/printed on it is gone and the space is just white.

Eat it fresh out?! That's a bit much. I mean other mammals do it but I can't wrap my brain around a human doing that. Haven't looked this up recently, but I've heard of drying it out and putting into a pill form and just taking it like a daily vitamin. Edit: if you've eaten a fresh placenta, no shade to you. You do you. Not trying to offend anyone.
