I have 4 that are not but I like it better than my real ones decades ago. I have them at the upper front of my mouth. My husband's teeth are all real but a lot of them are capped. I'm constantly telling my daughters to brush and floss their teeth regularly cause it's better to have their own real teeth. How about you? Do you have any fake tooth? Don't worry I won't tell anyone. lol

hahahahaha Promise you won't tell anyone? Oh this is fun! Anyway, you won. Yours are four, mine are three. My bicuspid and cuspids are gone. Just a few months ago, and I had replaced with beautiful dentures to still make me look beautiful when I smile. Unlike you, you enjoy having them, for me, until now I don't feel comfortable. I always play with them unconciously. I feel I am chewing a gum all the time. At home I plan to remove the denture but my mom says just put it on so I'll get used to it. I'd been wearing it for two months already and I am still aware that there is an additional thing in my mouth. There is something foreign. I'll probably say the same advises you give to your kids. Its hard having this though I don't feel any discomfort when eating. Have a great day!

Oh, how? I take it off then return it. My mom even warned me that one day it will get loose. It feels like I have a bubble gum on my left cheek. Its not I'm saying the denture is think. Its just so foreign to me.

As of now, yes, all of them are real. I go to the dentist every three months to have them clean and checked for cavities. I know there is going to be a day when the dentist will have to pull one of them out and replace it with a fake one, if they are rotten. Oh, forgot to mention that my grandfather is turning 90 years old and he has all of his teeth, well, he had one of them taken out but his teeth never rotten.

Hi Dear Gicolet! fortunately I do have all my teeth which are real, though I am 50+! Though I have got extracted one molar tooth when I was 13 years old, I never replaced with an artificial tooth. It was a bad tooth beyond repair and I think then the dental science was also not that advanced , that's why I had to sacrifice my tooth at an early age! I am surprised at he age of 5 how come you lost four teeth, was there any accident or they got damaged because of some other reason! Yes teeth require very immense care as they are the parts which munch our food in the initial stages when we consume food! Now I told you the truth about my teeth! Since you have promised that you are not going to tell it to any one , now it becomes your responsibility to keep your word! Please guard my secret![em]w00t[/em] Thanks for the discussion!

Good for you for having all of your teeth real!!! No i did not lose my teeth @ age 5....I was 15 when i had 4 of them removed. They were sticking out and I didn't like it. My parents could not afford getting me a brace so I didn't brush my teeth as often as I should have had intentionally. I like my 4 front teeth better now although they're not real so it kind of paid off in a way...but sometimes i wish i had them back to be able to feel my bites. lol ok, your secret is safe with me but not on mylot. haha thanks for responding.

Well not all of 'em. I have one false tooth in the upper set and 3 others in acrylic crowns. It looks just fine but the real teeth still looks much better. I am looking forward to someday having an implant on that single spot in which I have a false teeth.
