The bulk update request #10589 is pending approval.

create implication snaggle_tooth (5785) -> teeth (764073)
create implication snaggle_teeth (196) -> teeth (764073)

Reason: Snaggle teeth are teeth.

Worth discussing is if we need two tags here, or if snaggle teeth should imply snaggle tooth. The wiki stipulates that the former refers to multiple such teeth being present, whereas the latter is strictly one. This doesn't feel like a completely natural tagging pattern. I think having tags that would seem applicable to one scenario but are actually restricted by the wiki page in a potentially unforeseen way should generally be avoided.

I'd suggest reducing them to snaggle tooth. If you've got several snaggle teeth, then you've got at least one snaggle tooth.
