Anecdote
I'm back now from having my problematic tooth out. Mild discomfort is about to be replaced by searing soreness when the anaesthetic wears off.
This leaves me with 24 teeth, or 25 if you include the bridge, or 23 if you don't include the implant. That's a quarter of the teeth I'm supposed to have. OK, so it's better than the 0 teeth my grandfather had, but still not ideal. This is what comes of being 12 when flouride toothpaste comes out, when most of the goodness it does teeth occurs up to the age of 12.
I'm forbidden from drinking anything hot today. No tea, then. I'm also forbidden from doing any exercise, though, so that's a positive.
Every one of the teeth I'm missing has been pulled out by a dentist. Forget what people tell you about sugar: dentists are by a long way the major cause of tooth loss.
