Abraham, I guess we both are in the same boat. Not sure which one of us two is older but it won't matter anyway.Abraham wrote:And, I do mean your natural teeth, not store bought choppers.
Recently, I had my teeth cleaned and examined.
While going through this process, the dental hygienist informed me that older people's teeth rotate. I chuckled appreciatively at this little comedic interlude only to discover she wasn't kidding.
Once the cleaning/scraping etc. was accomplished the dentist came in to give me the once over. She asked if I was having any problems with my teeth and I related in the past six months or so that I was catching food between two teeth in the back, upper area.
She carefully looked at my teeth, then my ex-rays and informed me the food was being caught between those two teeth because they'd rotated, opening a gap between the two teeth. Arrrrgghhhh!
So, if you stay above ground long enough, keep your teeth and advance into geezer-hood, expect your teeth to rotate!
(man, I'm finding out all kinds of things with increased senescence that I'm glad I was ignorant of when younger...sigh)
Think about it this way, whatever doesn't kill you just hardens you and as we all know, wisdom comes with age.
Don't worry too much, live goes on.
