@kraftpudding @shani66 teeth and gum problems, the ability to get brain freeze or literal saliva stones
Our teeth don't fit correctly either, nor are they really suited enough to the environment to last as long as we live.
They usually fit fine as long as you're eating a proper diet. You know, lots of veggies and unprocessed food.
No, they last longer that way, but the human mouth is too small for our teeth, that's why a lot of us have to get our wisdom teeth removed
It's a tight fit, that's for sure. I guess it's more of what you consider to be too small for optimal mouth health and whatnot. Most animals have gaps but we don't. It would certainly help to have some. Generally, having a better diet does help with tooth arrangement, though. The position of your teeth are influenced by the stresses you put on them. If you're eating a lot of soft, processed food the stresses the teeth place on each other starts be become a bigger factor in their positioning. If you're eating a proper amount of "tough" food, chewing helps keep them in proper alignment.
Mine were growing in sideways well before they erupted. Diet had nothing to do with that, just a shorter jaw than our distant ancestors.
Both can be true.
Tonsil stones? I haven't had the displeasure but from what I've read, it clearly goes in the "we can do better than this" category.
