I am almost 69 and have all but 1 of my teeth and it is all because of regular visits to the dentist from the time I married at 18. I have crowns on all the back teeth and know there are a couple that they are watching closely. It is expensive but worth it to have your own teeth. Yes, I have a couple that had nothing above the gum line, too. Posts, etc. Fluffy, hang onto what you have.
As a child we only went to the dentist when our teeth hurt and our dentist didn't believe in cleaning teeth. I also have a few bad experiences I recall, but today it is so much better. Not pain free, but so-o-o-o much better.
