It seems to depend on who you ask. Teeth are not bones, absolutely, but I've seen sources that say they are part of the skeletal system, as well as sources that say they're not.

The skeletal system definitely includes more than just bones, since ligaments and cartilage are definitely part of it. So where exactly the line is drawn is up to interpretation.

Its says skeleton not bones. Skeletons very clearly have teeth.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

But teeth are bones outside the body

But skeletons do have teeth. So OP is technically correct

They stay when your decomposed. Close enough to bones for me
