at 49 I managed to save a little over half of my teeth,miracle cause I did not start brushing for real till I was 16,,,I was rebellious...

Funny cause my Grandma "rest in peace" was like the brush your teeth Nazi and when I stayed at her house she stood at the bathroom door and watch me brush,while she cursed my Mother in her Ukrainian dialect LOLz,,,I did not know a word she was saying but I knew what she meant...

My childhood was a tough one,but I remember an elementary school nurse saying to me,,, and I quote "You will have no teeth by time you are 18 if you don't start taking care of them"... heh,,,I knew more than her at the time...
