I believe one of Cobra's front teeth broke in half at his second apartment at the end of 2023 or early 2024 during his mead saga. That was the first broken tooth I've seen discussed. The others have broken off since then, seemingly at an accelerated pace. He will lose more soon without immediate professional intervention.When did he lose his teeth? Could have have been punched in the face?
Someone with deep dental health knowledge can give a better explanation. Still, simply put, his poor diet (sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, dipping, and lack of healthy and nutritious food) and lack of dental hygiene (not brushing, flossing, or even washing his mouth with water) have fucked up his teeth, leading to cavities, gum inflammation, and tooth decay/rot.
A primary cause of dental issues is the sugar and acid in our food and drinks. That's part of the reason most people didn't have teeth like Cobra in the past, even though many people (in general) didn't have proper dental hygiene. They didn't have acid or sugar from sick drink combos feeding bacteria in their mouths for multiple years.

Decay occurs when the enamel and/ or dentin of the tooth begin to break down due to the release of acid by bacteria that consume glucose. This will happen if the teeth aren’t properly cleaned regularly and/ or are exposed to a diet high in glucose.
Keeping sugary and starchy foods in check will also help to minimize the risk of tooth decay. It’s often thought that it’s the sugar itself that causes cavities. In reality, the sugar feeds the bacteria in the mouth. The bacteria then produce acid as a by-product that results in tooth decay.
If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to
- infections deep within the tooth
- weakening of the tooth to the point it breaks and/ or
- eventual loss of the tooth.
