I hear ya, I inherited soft teeth. Even though I drank lots of milk(I had cows), I can remember when I was about 12 my father sent me to the dentist. He said you have 12 cavities, I'll fill 2 and come back next week. The next week he said you have 11 cavities, I'll fill 2 and come back next week. WTF? This went on all summer.

It continued in the vein, 8 root canals, of which 1 blew up on a flight from Philly to Seattle, and another camping in the California mountains. Plus an extra cap for one my gym teacher broke. I swallowed that one the night before I got married the first time, but that's another story.

After continuous bullshit, when I was 42 I said take 'em out, all of 'em. The dentist resisted saying I was too young and when(if) I got old, the dentures would have worn my gums down too far for the dentures to be stable. He changed his mind when I started frothing at the mouth, blood shooting out of my eyes, and claws growing from my hairy knuckles.

That was 30 years ago and I haven't regretted it for a moment.
