Trouble is, bad dentistry can lead to things like open heart surgery.

It can indeed. But so does inadequate dentistry, and it's safe to say that a lot more elderly folks are being driven to open heart surgery by the fact that they can't afford professional dental care, than by any complications that amateur-made dentures could ever cause.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think green iguana might have been sarcastically referring to the cliche that "marijuana leads to harder drugs" or some such...
