I had a healthy tooth break a while back. Never went to a "dentist". Presumption was that my body is smarter than any "dentist". Hey, as we age, the body changes. Some of that may mean tooth changes, some of them falling out, breaking, whatever. You can't take them with you.If I get toothless and ugly, who would really give a damn anyhow ? I still have all of em. If I lose teeth at the rate of one each year, I'll make 80. Dentists can kiss my patooie.
