Luckily for Dave, that wasn’t needed.

Just a few years ago the comedian revealed on his show Hughesy, We Have a Problem that growing up drinking lots of orange juice had contributed to his losing 10 teeth. *(Credit: Ten)*

‘I have had one tooth put back in towards the front. I was looking too much like a crackhead, basically,’ the 49-year-old comedian said. Adding “I shouldn’t have as many mouth problems as I have. I’ve probably got enough money to have a good mouth, but your mouth problems can be diet-related.”

Dave also credited his newly-adopted vegan diet has enhanced his oral health.
