And treble hooks, beginning to think we are in a dangerous business 
I'll vouch for the treble. And the 5 inch fish that managed to put it in my finger.

No, thinking of getting a gold tooth to go with my cigar, what do you think
ranger, when you see the price of a regular replacement you may change your mind on a gold one, I've heard you can get a deal on them down at the funeral home 😂😂

My dad broke his dentures biting sinkers several times, It always made me squeamish so I never have.

Oh no!!! You still have a great smile...but ouch on that tooth! Nice trout by the way too...
I just had a couple of tooth implants done from loss (too much soda pop...so I'm told by the dentist). They seem to be working out very well...just like the originals. Maybe a front tooth could be a candidate?

Wish it was my case all my upper teeth are gone but bone disease is why my loss is not implantable. Dentures only way for me

Never bit on a split shot to close it, simply because I am of the belief that that amount of "crush" on your line, particularly mono, can't be a good thing. Same reason I don't use pliers or even hemostats. I have never worried about the splitshot moving from where I placed it, using the removable type with the little "ears"...."finger-pinch tight" has almost always been just fine. If I thought it was super critical to stay, like on a Carolina rigging, I add a rubber bobber stop. If I need to add weight beyond a single splitshot, I prefer to use the hotdog-shaped lead with the rubber strip embedded. Easily attached with a twist of the line around the rubber strip, and easily adjustable by sliding. They make some quite small ones that are barely bigger than most splitshot.
I also have never "bit" on a splitshot for the very reason that what occurred to you Ranger, would really piss off my parents, having spent all that money on my dental needs as a youth !

And there's the fact that lead is toxic, so probably not the smartest idea to be putting it in your mouth
