WEll I do have incredibly good teeth. thick enamel but My Mom had such bad periodontal disease she had all her teeth pulled at age 32 or something. Has had dentures ever since. I doubt if she ever flossed. I don’t think they did that when she was young.
“My Mom had such bad periodontal disease she had all her teeth pulled at age 32 or something.”
My mom had a lot extracted also — I think they must have been over-eager to do that back then. Or maybe surgical periodontal treatments and root canals/capping were not as broadly used yet.
