This is why creepy 90s cartoons always showed worms poking out of decaying teeth!

Maybe I can use this to trick my 9-year-old into actually brushing his teeth correctly. Kidding. Maybe. ๐ ๐ชฑ
better to be honest IMO. show them some pics of horrendously decayed teeth, thats arguably more shocking anyway
Demodex folliculorum are a little more shocking, once you learn about them.
While the body is host to millions of microscopic critters, that one has the audacity to host nightly orgies on your face.
Considering how many parasites exist for every organ, I'm surprised these don't exist.
Imagine one crawling under your skin and into your teeth
No thanks.
