May be I'm wrong, but I always thought a dentist's job was to was to look after our teeth and help us keep them in good condition for a long as possible. It staggers me to see that this dentist wants to extract your husbands perfectly good teeth, he reason for doing this is ridiculous, don't we need our teeth for chewing, the Queen Mother had all her own teeth at the age of 102 when she died. I say your husband is right to keep his teeth for a long as they are in good shape, the alternative is dentures which are probably hard to get used to using. By the way I am 66 and still have all my own teeth. :)
