 He also never brushes them and drinks soda exclusively."</ref> by [[Luke]], a former management member, during a Reddit Q&A that Daniel is missing teeth due to hypodontia.<ref>[[wikipedia:Hypodontia|Hypodontia]]</ref>
-With Daniel being homeless, he is in not only a harder situation to brush his teeth, but he also just doesn't want to due to his aversion to general hygene (and the fact some autistic people have sensory issues related to teeth). This has lead to general poor dental health including cavities and yellow teeth. Due to his homelessness and lack of money and insurance (and laziness), Daniel may not be able to visit a dentist; his crooked teeth have gone unstraightened.  He visibly has a misshapen dental arch. His front 2 teeth are different sizes, possibly from unfixed crowding, and only his front 2 teeth are displayed while talking, possibly a sign of an overbite.
+As of November 14, 2023, Daniel is homeless so it is more difficult for him to brush his teeth. He also doesn't want to because of his aversion to general hygiene (and the fact some autistic people have sensory issues related to teeth).

Due to his homelessness and lack of money and insurance (and laziness), Daniel may not be able to visit a dentist; his crooked teeth have gone unstraightened.  He visibly has a misshapen dental arch.

 Overall, due to a lack of a dentist and dental hygiene, Daniel's dental health is extremely poor.{{#evt:

 Head banging and punching oneself while under duress is probably a result of autism, as about 30% of autistic children engage in these behaviors<ref>https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/autism-self-harm/</ref>. In most cases it is a reaction to a stressor. More information on Daniel’s instances of self-harm can be found [[Self Harm|here]].
