Two pulled and two crowns. All due to one sort or another of physical damage.

 

[dcmfan]

55/28

Wisdom teeth were pulled in my 20s.

 

[BobHol]

66 yrs about 20 natural teeth. My dentist and his assistant are probably the only ones who know for sure. Most of the large teeth in back are crowns. At the moment I have a large gap where a crown broke

 

[IPADave]

56/24 2 crowns, 6 pulled including wisdom teeth.

 

[needforspeed]

61/29, 2 wisdom pulled/1 incisor bridge, A few chipped racing that pesky dirt bike as a kid.

Any change in IQ's once the Wisdom Teeth were pulled?

Just curious.

Q

Young enough to be stupid, old enough to know better...

All here, except for 4 horizontally impacted wisdom teeth removed decades ago (you can't imagine how *FUN* that was). I also had an extra set of molars that has been known to confuse some dentists; my first dentist used to call me a "throwback" since this was common in ancient man (I guess)

all, except 2 wisdom teeth. Be true to your teeth and they will never be false to you.

 

[JoeESP9]

70 with full dentures here. My teeth were removed because of radiation therapy on my throat and neck.

 

[eiraved]

I possess 52 natural teeth, my mom saved my baby teeth...

Still have all my original teeth at 52 y/o.

 

[Dave_1962]

I did well until I was 50. Then a wisdom tooth on the right side pushed it's way into the molar in front of it so I lost 2. Left side still no trouble at 55.

 

[toxcrusadr]

54 here and 26 by my count. No crowns or implants, but as a kid with crooked teeth, the dentist said I had my dad's big teeth in mom's small mouth, so a couple got pulled in the canine region in the process of straightening everything.

Only ever had one wisdom tooth which was also removed...surgeon said I was 'evolutionarily ahead' because eventually they will disappear from the human jaw completely.

 

[Eric H]

All 32@58, with three fillings. Wish I'd listened to Mom when I was 12 and got the Braces.

 

[harman/kardon]

A lot of natural teeth around here, you old guys!

Keep on taking care of them day by day - it is worth the effort!

 

[Omegaman]

Mostly complete

I smashed myself in the face with a 28 ounce serrated head hammer 35 years ago, then 20 years later, I was playing a Trombone while partying at the lake and then suddenly...OUCH... total pain in a front tooth

Went to the dentist and got a root canal, nope didn't take got another, nope didn't take, got an Apical root canal, nope didn't take. The tooth was cracked where the Dentist couldn't get to it

Then I had what appeared to be a perfectly good tooth with no cavity and solidly intact, that tooth, just to the left of my two front teeth, that tooth was extracted and a VERY EXPENSIVE implant installed

Good to go now at 61

My 30 year old son has never had a single cavity, which I am proud of
