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

24 - 4 lost to braces, 4 wisdom teeth gone. Still perfectly straight, will go the implant route if ever necessary. Teeth are very important to me.

To help balance out those of you born with less than four wisdom teeth, I had two extras on the top. The second ones were underneath the first, and caused the tops of the first to point partway towards the lip.

So when I was in either my late 20’s or early 30’s, my dentist recommended pulling them as they were not functioning as chewing surfaces. When removing the two, one of the secondary ones also came out. And the net result was I had three wisdom teeth removed, and today still have three.

I have 28 teeth. I have had 3 molars extracted, but my wisdom teeth came in to replace these. I believe I still have one impacted wisdom tooth... or maybe 2? At my age, if they haven't needed to come out yet, I'm not having them taken out!

22 teeth

Wisdom teeth pulled (I have a small mouth, no room for them). 3 implants. One tooth pulled and not replaced. Two teeth recently pulled, awaiting decision for implants or partial dentures.
