42. Had wisdom teeth pulled. Never had a cavity. Got a crown and some "bondo" work thanks to a swift kick from a bovine.

Yep I've got mine in a cup on the counter after 6 root canals and 7 weeks of radiation therapy for throat cancer it was easier and safer to get them all pulled . One tooth chipped after I bite a fresh hot french fry .
That's probably not what you wanted to hear but when I've got them in no one realizes they're dentures ha ha

65 and still have'em minus the wisdoms. Had some pulled to make room when I was a kid. Went to two different dentists last month wanting a simple cleaning. One wanted $2800 and one wanted $2300 to fix completely unrelated problems. I got the $99 cleaning finally.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I'm a couple months short of 75, and have all my teeth. Several have been filled sometime prior to 1972 or 1973, when I last visited a dentist.

Shut up, braggers! Lol, I'm only 53 and I'm going to have to pay to have a whole bunch of teeth built. Amazing what they can do now. Dentist said they will be implanting live teeth within ten years.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I have all of mine, minus wisdom teeth, and 4 teeth removed to make room as a teenager. Never had a cavity. Diet plays a huge role in tooth health. Ancient people groups like hunter gatherers had better teeth than most Americans, due to their diet

Grrrrrrrrrrrr. I fought my teeth my whole life. It was always my molars. I had cavity after cavity in them. I think they were more filling than tooth. My non-molars were all sound as heck and with no cavities at all. By the time I was in my late 50's I had enough molars yanked to make it hard to chew without using the premolars and the rest......the result was I soon wore those down from use. They looked like stumps with growth-rings showing. Then in about 2 years time I had things start breaking apart to the point where I needed uppers. I really HATE the dang things! I wish when I was younger that when the dentist asked me "do you want a root canal and cap for $1200, or do you want to pull it for $180?" that I would have gotten the caps. A dentist once told me that my molars were damaged by a high fever way back when they were forming in my jaw, and that was why they were crap and the others were sound. My youngest sister had great teeth her whole life, my oldest sister had a complete set of dentures installed, uppers and lowers, when she was 17 years old. Our folks had great union insurance and none of us missed a check-up and we all brushed our teeth well, so go figure.

I'm 51 and have 36 teeth, 4 more than a normal human. Have not had wisdom teeth removed, but maybe should have when I was younger. Oh well, so far so good. A couple root canals and a crown, otherwise in fair shape.

No teeth. Didn’t see a spring pole under some limbs when I was bucking years ago. Snapped up and busted out most of them. The infection got the rest from when they screwed my face back together.
Take care of your teeth, the alternative isn’t as cool as it sounds.

If you have a good denturest and spend enough time after you get them pulled so your jaws heal up and the swelling goes down well fitting dentures are a dream compared to worrying about snapping teeth off even with your gums or lower . In my case it was 5 1/2 months without teeth it's amazing what you can eat without teeth when you're hungry .
Corn on the cob , apples and vegetables can be tough as some sandwiches but don't get me wrong take very good care of your teeth, dentures are better than nothing but not as good as your own teeth .

I have most of 3/4 of them. I had a bad, deadly tumor removed from my lower right jaw bone when I was 25. They took most of the bone and all the teeth out on that side. I got lucky that it never came back so far. I thought I was out of the woods but I read where one guy had his come back 36 years later.
