Is it better to have a missing tooth or not be able to walk?

Obviously tooth: I would think that anyone would prefer to give up a tooth to walk. Besides you can always get an implant to replace the tooth.

MISSING TOOTH.: Everything is relative. As a dentist i hate to see anyone lose a tooth, but not being able to walk is a much more serious limitation in one's life than a missing tooth.

A missing tooth...: Although i really enjoy talking and eating and smiling, so i would rather lose my ability to walk than to have many missing teeth!

I vote tooth, too: In agreement with all the advice given. My question is, how are these two conditions related to you and why are they being compared?
