Lose your front teeth in a skateboarding accident

Your hands remain fully functional for work, creativity, and daily tasks - the capabilities that matter most are preserved
Modern implants and dental work can restore the appearance of front teeth, making this a more recoverable injury than it first appears

Break your hands on a bike

Adult teeth never regrow while broken bones heal fully - the permanence of tooth loss far outweighs what is ultimately a temporary injury
Losing front teeth affects speech, eating, and self-image in lasting ways that dentures and implants only partially address
Once hand bones heal there is no lasting functional limitation, making the injury entirely temporary by comparison
