How many dental crowns and fillings do you have?

[vital]

0. No fillings, crowns, pulls, cavities, anything. All my teeth, except wisdom teeth--of which I have never had.

 

[paulney]

5 crowns I believe, and a ton of fillings.
Yes, my dental care sucked during my teen years, and I paid for it dearly later.

Maybe you should go see a dentist

0. And I still have my wisdom teeth (dentist said they came in straight with enough room... my choice whether I wanted to keep or not). Never had any problem with my teeth.

I have lots of fillings. I've stopped counting.

America needs to look in to this thing called fluoride. 1st world countries put it in their water to save peoples teeth.

 

[woodie1]

Too many.

23,

1 filling for a cavity

2 fillings for my molars being designed to pack food in between them on the top of both sides... it sucked before i got the fillings, now it is okay.

oh man, at work today, British girl (cute also) came in to get her braces adjusted. i proceed to take off the bands and BOTH HER FRONT TEETH came OFF!!! Apparently, she just got a bone graph and was waiting for it to heal before her implants. The braces were working double time, to straighten her teeth as well as hold her fronts in place... Thank god I had a mask on.

No fillings or crowns. I have a dental implant, though (knocked out a tooth in high school).

A bunch. I'm a regular metal-mouth when it comes to dental work.

I've probably got enough mercury in my mouth to pollute a small ocean.

no crowns, but I got an umpteen of fillings. also got some things on my molars which is suppose to protect them, idk what its called, but it smooths out the molar top so I guess food doesnt get stuck in between.

got 4 teeth taken out for my braces, orthodontist said I might have enough room to keep my wisdom, which would be heaven, cause from what people say, it sucks balls to get em out

 

[Zugzwang152]

like 4-6 fillings and no crowns.

Actually it was Grand Rapids Michigan in 1945 to be the first city in the world to put fluoride in their water.

You know when fluoridation first began? 1946.

It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Six fillings around they're all around 12-14 years old

This, but I've had my wisdom teeth out.

 

[Kadarin]

One filling, and I'm 40. I had the filling done just a couple of months ago after having visited the dentist for the first time in 30 years.

I've got enough gold in my mouth to probably pay for my funeral when I'm gone. If it's not crowned, it's got a filling in it. My front teeth have been spared except for a small filling at the gum line in one tooth. Every molar or bicuspid is either crowned or filled.

My dental insurance evaporates on the 1st of January too.

BTW, I grew up with fluoridated water and took care of my teeth as well as the average kid. I'm convinced a lot of this is due to nothing more than genetics.

depends on your age.

 

[wiredspider]

1 crown and like 16 fillings

I'm 42 and got my first filling last year. I had chipped a molar (something in my wife's brownies ) a couple of years ago and it finally had to be filled. Never had a cavity unless you count that one though.
