Do you still have all your own teeth?

I’m 61 and just had my first tooth extracted.

I had an infection, and it was either paying over £800 for a complex root canal procedure or having the tooth pulled.

It feels really weird and wondering about dentures?

Just had my back molar removed, tooth had finally died under the crown, was about to start root canal treatment. The price would have been £300 with root treatment + new crown. NHS dentist

My mum lost all hers at 14, I'm 71 and still have all my own. My 43 and 39 year old daughters have only one filing each
