People had gotten it into their heads that they needed to take their teeth out of their heads. Not just the wisdom teeth, but their canines too. As when they had decided that molars were no longer necessary for chewing, the consensus now was that canines were obsolete in eating the tender, machine-processed morsels that stuffed every chamber of the food pyramid. Without canines overcrowding the mouth, the remaining teeth could be realigned to create a pleasing appearance. Even wisdom teeth could be hidden away in the back; the canines stood out in the front row as the unsightly vestiges of caveman days. They had no place in modern civilization.
