My dentist will try not to pull a tooth if he can, He believes that you need all of them except the wisdom teeth, that 99 percent of all people have to have removed.
DD had hers removed so that her teeth would not be pushing up against each other .
The last few years my teeth have been moving., Have spaces where I never had any before. They were never straight per say but did not have a lot of spaces. If I had the money, I would have all the upper ones removed and have a denture made. I have two crows up there and really need two back teeth removed, but my dentist willnot do it. I may have to go to another to have that done. Putting a crown on them will not help and I hate crowns, getting food inbetween them is a big pain , I should Have money in stock in floss.
