There is a young lady, well not so young, but younger than I, in my Bible Study class and she only has one tooth in her whole mouth. It is right in the front. I don't know anything about her or her life. I just feel sorry that she never had her teeth taken care of. I'm sure she can't afford it. I can't imagine her going through life like that if she could afford it.
that's what medicaid and free clinics are for. if she needs someone to take her, there are special buses that pick people up and then bring them back home. it's never too late to fix that. not everyone cares enough to about their teeth to take care of them, but it really affects your health.

btw, my son had tetracycline teeth until all the teeth came in. then he immediately got the veneers. then he instantly pulled off two with those sugar daddy candy pops. 43 and still has the veneers.
