The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

We had to do this in Colorado public schools in the late 80s.
30 years later I’ve got a mouth full of false teeth.
Not sure it worked out like they wanted it to.
It's not going to work for everyone- personally I wasn't healthy enough to maintain my own teeth and am trying to save up for dentures at 38 but my teeth have been falling out since I was 26.
If it stops more children from needing dentures as adults it is a resounding success though.
Genetics play a factor. My wife gets cavities like they're going out of style and she's very diligent about brushing and flossing. I'm ... less diligent and I've never had a cavity and still have all my wisdom teeth.
It's a total crapshoot, all anyone can do is try their best to take care of what they've got.
