Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas have spent all of 2020 perfecting their synchronized couple stroll. They’re frequently spotted wearing masks to complement their respective outfits, but they have also been seen wearing matching versions featuring pastel prints. Chris Pine and his girlfriend Annabelle Wallis like to stroll through Los Angeles together sporting flashy bandanas tied around the lower half of their faces.

He took a secretive trip to the dentist to address it, but word of his sudden “disappearance” reached the public, and before long, news reports were floating around that he had died of a heart attack! There was even an allegation that he had been involved in a secret meeting with aliens during that hushed departure from the White House. Naturally, this forced him to finally reveal that he simply had a tooth that needed to be taken care of. Personally, we don’t see anything wrong with that!

His teeth have been examined many times as one of the more severe cases of bruxism dentistry has ever witnessed, having ground his teeth down to near his gums. It would seem the stress of the presidency isn’t something to take lightly. Gerald Ford had terrible teeth! Not only was he a bruxer like Theodore Roosevelt, but he was often ridiculed for tooth stains, periodontal disease, diastema (large spaces between the teeth), and a bonded tooth that was likely chipped during his days as a football player in his childhood. As someone who lived in the modern era, his lack of dental care is surprising. But we suppose that when you have a country to run, dental care is probably one of the last things on your mind.
