I'm 62 years old and other than my wisdom teeth I'm missing only
two more, both on the top, on the same side. But the rest of my teeth
could go at any time. I have too many teeth to be an expert on
toothlessness. Still I wonder if there's a point where too many could
get in the way. For instance, let's say you're missing all your
uppers, but all the lowers are still there. Those lower ones could
get in the way. Your upper gums would not be happy. I really believe
I could still eat well without teeth. I've been thinking about it
this lately, it's no big deal, no more a big deal than it was when you
were a child without teeth - toss out everything unchewable and put
your gums to work on the rest.
