At what age do you think you'd need dentures? And is teeth breaking off a natural thing as you age?

years ago my mom was in a car accident, and the doctor said that because of her nerves afterwards from the accident, that her teeth were breaking off and she had to get dentures. So I wondered if age does that or the accident did that.


And, is getting all your teeth pulled at once unbearable? How much do dentures cost?

At what age do you think you'd need dentures? And is teeth breaking off a natural thing as you age?
My grandmother is 83 and has all her original teeth. My mom on the other hand is 64 and has dentures. She said yes it hurt like the dickens getting them pulled and her dentures cost about 800 dollars. You may want to try finding a dental school close to you and getting them there usually a few hundred dollars cheaper.
Reply:your mum had a accident, so it was the doctors decision in her case, teeth rot with two reasons, and you dont have to be old


1 not brushing flossing going for check ups every 6 months


2 too much sweets as a child,


the other possibilities are gum disease lack of calcium


well having all your teeth pulled is unbearable, usually its done in hospital, especially if your known as a bleeder, or your epiletic.


you may have to go twice to have them done, your mouths sore for a few weeks


the cost of dentures depends on the dentist, my aunts last set cost £380, ive got my own teeth still, and im 53, my mum has her own shes 82, my late dad had his own he was 71, toothpaste wasnt available in the war years, but they both cleaned their teeth with salt bicarbonate of soda. okay.
Reply:Not really. I know a dentist ( of course) almost 80, has all his original teeth.





He says it's having dental work done in a timely fashion and regular cleanings, and brushes twice a day. He flosses twice a day also.





Up side, he eats sweets all the time.
