why do people have their teeth capped/crowned?

[bobbie22]

I can understand that you sometimes have to have a crown to replace a missing (front) tooth. Why do people have a perfectly set of teeth all crowned so that they end up looking like they have a full set of false teeth - all the same size, and white, white white?

[Bobbisox]

true! but the practise she has been with for over 20 yrs won't do it

[Bobbisox]

yes pinki, they must be mental

Thats not good Bobbs. I spent 2 years with a brace when I was 12 to get rid of gaps. I had to have all 4 of my first molars taken out due to my jaw being to small to allow room for when my wisdom teeth came through. When they did arrive (with excruciating pain) I had to have all of them taken out anyway!

all done in the name of pure vanity Tiggs

[Bobbisox]

[anneasquith]

[Bobbisox]

that was always thought of as 'lucky' slinky, years ago, anyone remember that?

[slinkycat]

Don't know about lucky, but it makes flossing a lot easier!

[ummmm]

I'd like to see the work annie ? Too many roll-ups ruin teeth.

my friend has and she used to be able to put a coin between her teeth, isn't it odd , how silly these ,'that's lucky' sayings are
