Not possible: It would be highly unusual to have eyes in your teeth, as the location alone is separate, and the tissue eyes are made up of are completely of different origin embryologically. There are certain tumors that contain teeth, or hair in them, but unless you can see out of your mouth, it's highly unlikely they are serving as your back up vision. They may mean a play on words. Ask them next time.

No: "eye teeth" is just another name for your "canine" teeth- the pointy ones on both sides. To prevent gum infections, brush and floss regularly and see a dentist every 6 months.

Eye Teeth: Eye teeth refer to the upper cuspids or canine teeth named for its position just below your eyes. Unless you are are an alien, you only have two eyes and hopefully they are functioning well. I don't see the connection with gum infection, which if you want to prevent: brush and floss properly and see a dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

No Eyes in Teeth: You obviously don't have eyes in your teeth.. they are called "eye teeth" since they are positioned underneath your eyes. They are also called canines, but that does not mean you have dog teeth. People also don't have "two left feet". "funny bones", or is anyone really "all thumbs". Hope this info helps.
