docspock,
Aww he is lovely,and you can see he is old,but none the worse for that.
mama,
Oddly enough,mentioning teeth,I had my last surviving real tooth taken out last Wednesday.It was part of a crown,and the root was rotting.I can't say I am sad,I have only had bad experiences with teeth!
Lack of calcium rich foods in 1923 perhaps(well to be truthful,lack of much ANY food!)
So am happier now with my lovely smiling dentures!
A lady we know (79) said to me." Iam 79,and still have my own teeth!"
being quick I replied (wittily I thought~
"I have my own teeth,they may be platic,but they are mine,not Fred's down the lane"
she didn't seem amused,well I can't blame her! LOL
PS:~
Poor old natural tooth,it had kasted well.I am 87,and we loose out milk teeth at what age (5 or 6,)or earlier? so that old molar was about 82;imagine the chewing it has done!
