had a great time at the @dentalanth.bsky.social business meeting tonight @bioanth.org #AABA2025 🦷✨

excited to follow it up tomorrow with the baby tooth symposium! #TeamTooth

This frame from the comic Blobby and Friends depicts Blobby, a pink blobfish, smiling while sorting through a pile of teeth, while his friend Lily, who has blue hair in two side buns, has backed herself against a wall and is sweating profusely, assumedly because the pile of teeth is freaking her out
