Do Immortals get cavities?

Hey, I'm just asking!

Why on earth would they? They heal all injuries. As far as we know they don't get ill.

But is tooth decay an injury? [g] Maybe it doesn't heal till they get an abcess!

Tooth decay is an illness caused by bacteria. We know they either don't get ill or heal very quickly. Why are you asking?

If you are writing a fic with a tooth ache, you can postulate slow healing from tooth decay. I don't know of anything in canon to contradict that.

I have no reason for asking :) These odd thoughts just come upon me unawares.

Asking silly questions with no real reason :)

Maybe not, but I bet their teeth wear down. Maybe they get a new set every few hundred years. Teething is a BITCH.

Oh yeah! I hadn't thought of that!

That'd make a hell of a funny short piece.

Heh! The Tooth Decay Challenge, or Four out of Five Dentists Recommend Immortality.

Macleod could have his very own "apple a day" adverts.

Meh, that would for doctors not dentists *face!palm*

Crap, you've set a bunch of other random questions loose in my head now.. :)

Glad to be of service :)

I'd just assume that if one was knocked out or something, it would regenerate like any other injury.

i'd *shudder* to think that if they did, then methos probably is wearing false teeth.

no, the alternative is unthinkable.

They





They probably decay up to first death--that Immortal blackmailing Amanda in The Stone of Scone had appalling teeth! Or maybe some just get the short term scuzzis, like Thorne in Montana. Ech.

Didn't one of the TV show characters lose a hand, and not have it grow back? They can lose them up until first death, then they regenerate... unless they detach in which case its a loss.

Yeah, Xavier St. Cloud? I'm bad at names, but I think that's the guy. So if they had a tooth knocked out, they might have to do without.

In all the years I've been a fan of Highlander - films and TV series - that is a question I have never pondered the answer to.

[snicker] I'm just special that way.

*snort* No, you're just weird. What I want to know is this: Do female Immortals have periods? I mean, if the guys are shooting blanks, then the eggs would be infertile as well. But would they still have periods. I would really hate to be on the rag for two thousand years...

True, but *I* have a doctor's excuse. Neener, neener, neener...

(I'm just so happy to be back online that I'm giddy with it!) *snerkle*
