Flossing is time-consuming and uncomfortable, and many people don't do it enough. Teeth are relatively fragile and prone to chipping, decay, and other damage. These problems can be solved with a slightly different application of existing technology.
There exists material that can be put onto teeth
to repair damage. It even looks like enamel. A patent's teeth would be well cleaned and repaired, with all dimples and suspicious areas cleaned out. All teeth would be scored for better bonding. Then the areas between the teeth would be filled in, and the teeth would all be slightly built out. The shape of the cutting surfaces would not be changed.
The patient would be left with two sturdy teeth, on at the top and one at the bottom of his mouth. These new teeth would be resistant to all common forms of damage and not require flossing.

Some patients will need a number of small holes, so they can suck air
through them while muttering "Gonna cost yer mate". |

This would also be useful for boxers and football players. |

To avoid flossing, I think you'd have to excavate into the
gums and join the roots of teeth
together so all the gums are either on one side or another of
this beak tooth. Otherwise you'd still need to floss into the
gummy tunnels underneath the beak tooth. |

What about custom-made permanently installed ultrathin titanium overteeth with boron nitride cutting surfaces ? |

Those who speak in tongues might find themselves with far too many
tongues to speak with. |

Have we not had a beak instead of teeth posted here
before? I even thought I might have been the one to post it,
but too lazy to check. ... Found it. See link by the brilliant

It would be way funnier to give birds teeth. |

penguins don't count, well, maybe up to like five or something. |

Hang on; isn't a bird with teeth a dinosaur? Not that that's a bad
thing. |
|
| |
In evolutionary terms, a bird is a dinosaur without teeth.
Saurians are the ancestors of avians. |

Sauron, however, died without any family at all. Poor
sap. Even misplaced his wedding ring. |
