Trung Bao's teeth problem

I'm beatboxing with Trung Bao, I see a bubble of thought/memory : a smoke detector-shaped object suspended from a retractable rope going back and forth between the bars of a tall red structure, like a crane, all in sync with Trung’s beatbox. Combos with the đ sound, I imagine Slykku countering his beat in a battle. I was going to tell him about the fast inwards/outwards hi-hats technique of Helium but he tells me about his teeth : there are tiny holes in three of them. "You should talk to a doctor about it", I say. I then think of the message he could send his doctor : "...I’m a beatbox performer btw". Then we're at the grocery store, in front of the vegetables, I take the tray of green peppers and chew, taking stems and seeds that I spit out several times for something related to Trung’s teeth.
