First off whats your age?
Where did you grow up?
How often do you brush your teeth?
How many fillings do you have in your teeth?
Ever had major dental work done? (root canal, caps, etc.)
Did you have braces growing up? If not are your teeth fairly straight?
Are ALL your teeth yours? If not, do you have false teeth do to an accident or from dental "neglect"?
If you don't want to answer the questions in the thread, you can just use the poll, OR you can tell me to STUFF it!
I'll go first.
I'm 48, I grew up in the midwest (Ind. and Mo. where there is A LOT of minerals in the water).
I brush once a day, but I brush very well. (I guess)
I only have four fillings in my teeth.
No other dental work has been done.
I never wore braces, and my teeth are pretty straight. (I have one or two that are slightly out of wack, but not bad)
I still have all the teeth I was born with. (well after the first set fell out anyway!)
Am I unusual in this respect?
There was I guy I was in the service with that had had a full set of false teeth since he was 17. He grew up in N.C. and I allways wondered if where one grew up makes a BIG differance in how well your teeth hold up.
SO please answer. (If you feel like it!)
EDIT: Well I screwed up the poll, so just answer if you wanna!
