Have you noticed many dentists and orthodontists don't have "perfect" teeth themselves? It's even easier for them now wearing facial masks to mask their imperfect teeth.

It's only as humans began living longer through artificial intervention that these parts started wearing out.

We're like cars that were delivered with a 100,000 mile warranty. With lots of maintenence and perhaps a new engine, we've made it to 200,000 miles ... but the door hinges are creaking and the seats are wearing thin.

So god changed the design of Adam and Eve after they ate the forbidden fruit?

Yeah - hadn't you heard? At least he told Eve that all women would henceforth bring children into the world in great pain.

I've lived in a few developing countries where none of this is happening. There were plenty of children with rotten teeth and so many adults with missing/decayed teeth. Be grateful for the procedures you have available to you, because people who don't have them. There are a lot of places where getting a cavity means you end up having the tooth just pulled, and a lot of people end up with graying, decaying teeth at a fairly young age.
