She lets out a laugh at that unexpected compliment from him, and he doesn't have to blink-and-miss it, she's preening a little. Of course she does, her teeth are excellent now. She hasn't flossed in a year but they're doing great still.

"I take it you have no idea what a dentist is?"

Could this be something new for Wrathion to learn? Isn't that one of the favourite things of people like them, with a fondness for research?

"We have dentists in azeroth," he assures her. "Although I must confess, I have never attended one."

He simply does not have a dental plan, and he isn't particular sure how you go about finding one who is trained in dragon teeth. Presumably he'd have to attend in his visage, if he did. Is that even worthwhile? He's not really sure. He's never had a tooth-based-affliction before.

She gasps at that. "You do?!" Nevermind that he's never been to one, those teeth must be magical, moving on, she's stunned. "You know, when I said this at school the more traditional wizards and witches looked at me as if I'd grown a second head! So Azeroth clearly wins points."

They don't... have dentists? Isn't it a common sort of thing?

"What a peculiar school," he offers. "They dealt with their ailments some other way?"

Magic, perhaps, since they were all mages by the sound of it? Wrathion may not be exposed to all the fine details of the world at large, but it sounds like he has reached the low bar of 'better than the people at Hermione's school'. He'll take that victory.

She rolls her eyes at this. "There's a potion and a spell for everything," she says dryly, with the hypocresy of someone who did shorten her front teeth via magic in her fourth year. She can still remember her mother's unconvinced Hermione... when she'd seen the result in the summer.

"A lot of the more...base needs of being alive and human are glossed over there. There are no dentists in the magic school, and they rarely give us tea for breakfast, instead flooding us with neverending pumpkin juice." At the memory, a shudder.

Little bit of a jump between 'basic needs', 'no dentists' and 'only pumpkin juice'. It makes Wrathion wonder what else counts as a basic need that is overlooked and solved with only potions and spells.

"I see," he murmurs, frowning in thought. "If they do not learn these things, do they not... find themselves at a disadvantage?"

Or is it something they simply... never have a requirement for?

"I don't know," she mutters, equally confused by how the wizarding world works sometimes. "By all means they should be, but sometimes it feels like they just decided to not get cavities and their teeth...obeyed?"

She pulls a face. "The wizarding world is strange, Wrathion."
