No slo's Thursday poll: substitute poll: do you have all your teeth?

[tvguy]

Do you have all 32 of your teeth? If not, how many do you have? I have all 32 of mine including my wisdom teeth, one with a crown on it. My wife had 6 pulled when she got braces, as an adult. When my mom went into a care home at age 89, I got a couple of calls from the staff saying she was refusing to take her dentures out. I guess it was unusual for an 89 year old to have all their teeth. Well, she had a tooth ache as a teen and had one tooth pulled, by the VETERINARIAN that took care of my Grandfathers livestock. She grew up on a farm in very rural Saskatchewan Canada, the closest Dentist was 100 miles away.
Do you have all your teeth? Do you have bridges, implants or dentures?

I had 4 teeth removed in the 80's for braces. The wisdom teeth were taken out in the 90's. I still have the rest of my natural teeth.

nope

My wisdom teeth were removed in the 1990s when I was in college. Other than 2 fillings, I don't have any other missing teeth or dental work.

 

[soccerdad72]

Wisdom teeth were pulled (I only had 3 of them) sometime in the 90's during a college break. Otherwise, the rest are intact.

I also has 4 teeth removed for braces, but still have my wisdom teeth and all the rest.
But several crowns

I never had 32, as I was born without the bottom wisdom teeth, I guess that is why I am not so wise. I have had one of the top one's removed so I guess that means I have 28 erupted, and 1 below the gum.

Same, just 90s and 2000s. My mouth is too small to fit them all.

 

[sarahann77]

I never had wisdom teeth come in. I also still have a baby tooth

 

[Simba's Mom]

I have 27. No teeth removed for my braces, but my wisdom teeth were removed. Also, I had one tooth whose crown came off at Skipper Canteen (didn't understand why Brazilian cheese bread would do it). When I got home and went to the dentist, I found out that the tooth had just disintegrated! No pain, but also no tooth.

 

[Disneylover99]

I still have my wisdom and there’s still room for more teeth behind them.
Guess I have a big mouth. Lol.

I was born without adult teeth - well I had three! A majority of my baby teeth didn't come out on their own, and some didn't grow much beyond the gum line. Also have a small face/jaw. During my teens I had braces on many of my teeth to shuffle them around, and I had fake teeth on my braces in the areas where there were no teeth, all told about 5 years. Then the summer after I graduated high school I had a bit of gum surgery, baby teeth pulled where needed, followed by implants and full bridgework. That was in 1991.
So far I've gotten my parents money's worth out of them, but I'm thinking of having them replaced in the next few years. They were estimated to only last 15-20 years initially.

Luckily neither of my children were born with this condition, and neither were my brothers or their children. My grandmother and father have/had small teeth but nothing anywhere compared to the issues I had.

 

[Lesverts]

Born without 3 teeth. 2 wisdom and a molar. Still have a baby tooth that is doing remarkably well.

 

[clappyclaps]

I have all of my teeth, never had any removed and as far as I'm aware I've got the right number. The dentist has never said otherwise!

 

[CAPSLOCK]

I had one wisdom tooth removed a few years ago, it was impacted and causing a problem. The other three never erupted but they're there in the x-rays.

 

[RedHead0186]

I've had my wisdom teeth pulled, and IIRC I had to have a tooth pulled to get braces put in.

Fun fact, I'm almost 40 and still have 4 baby teeth. Adult teeth never grew in 'behind' them so there was noting to push them out. They're just hanging on by their little baby teeth roots for now, lol.

 

[mylilnikita]

Right now I am rocking no teeth and waiting for gums to heal so I can get impressions for the dentures and I coolant be more thrilled . Except for mouth looking like Ma Kettle . But it hasn’t been bad. I like to play a game called “Can I eat this”?

This was me, too! Only about 10 years earlier!! And I only had 2 wisdom teeth removed in a rather poor experience. Let's just say I'm not letting anyone in there anytime soon to try to extract the other 2!!
