    It’s going to be really awesome when we can all see first hand how teeth will be the new way to distinguish between rich and poor. Cuz even if this works most of us won’t be able to afford it

      This has already been a thing, but with one important twist: When sugar was first imported to Europe, only rich people could afford it, and as such, their teeth went rotten far more quickly than those of poor people.

      Having black or rotten teeth was a status symbol for quite a while.
