I read here about a guy who bought used dentures for very little and had a local dentist make them over for his impoverished friend.
Thank you so much
Thats true
Government or Canadian prolly works
Thats simply not true
Many people have bad teeth and or cant afford good dental care which is expensive
Used to be most people lost thei teeth and got dentures
Ive probanly spent 30,000 past 20 years on caps and veneers etc
My wife has never had a cavity
I brush more than she does....
Her teeth have plaque more which paradoxically protects them from caries
Life is hard on teeth
Its a question of enamel and inflammation
It can be drugs like meth but my grandmothers didnt do meth thst Im aware of and both had chompers
Good dentistry is very expensive, and worth it, but paying more does not mean your get it. Some people on TV, especially news personalities, have extensive dental work that must have cost a fortune. Their teeth are supernaturally white, straight, and uniform, like a row of piano keys. That always looks fake to me, and sometimes I wonder if I’m not looking at a set of dentures. Good dental restoration should look natural, not obvious.
I’m sure. But the point isn’t whether people need dentures, it’s whether or not people need to be paying for yet other people’s dentures, especially under the threat of force by the government (IRS). And while certainly some people naturally lose their teeth, I’m quite positive that most prisoners most of the time lose their teeth, especially prematurely, to drugs. And finally, if prisoners are losing their teeth in old age, then the whole argument about providing them dentures so they can get a job when they get out falls apart. That’s the problem with conservatives, we want smaller government and lower taxes, right up until YOU have to pay for YOUR grandma’s dentures. Then, you want all the welfare the gov’mint can give you.
