I would not be surprised if this is true. Looking at my mom, her
sisters and brothers, and my dad and his sisters and brothers, 90% of
them had complete sets of false teeth before they were 50. Some before
they were 40. So I guess it shouldn't surprise me that my parents let
some quack dentist pull 9 or so of my teeth at the age of 16, and
never did anything about the missing teeth. And why I never did
anything about it either; to me, it was just normal not to have all
your teeth, and I always figured I would just get false teeth when I
was older. It seemed "normal".
I still wonder how much of this is genetically soft or bad teeth and
how much was just not caring for them. I suspect a bit of both, but
don't really know.
