rider4u: As a person with full dentures, I feel that you are so far off the mark with this that it is laughable. Not that it really matters but I've had mine since the age of 19 and it was a medical condition that caused my enamel to deteriorate and the saliva was rotting them at the gum line. Out they came and it has been a blessing...I hadn't smiled for years (all through my teenage years) and I am sure that had a suppressing effect on my social development. I have since overcome any inhibitions that it created and guess what...haven't had a toothache in 40 years LOL. Also haven't had to see a dentist in the same time. I have a nice smile and the confidence that it's what a person is inside rather than what they appear to be on the outside that really matters.
Here Here Rider, my point exactly. In my time as a Dental Nurse i can honestly say that most people don't realise that a lot of people lose their teeth through gum disease through no fault of their own. There are many conditions that result in dentures and far too mny folk are quick to admonish people with them.
