As I enjoy my retirement days in Vestal; I often note the many changes that have taken place in areas that I once took for granted. For people of my baby boomer generation our childhood memories indicate that most “elderly” people (that often meant anyone as old; or older, than our parents) wore some sort of false teeth and we probably thought that we would also grow up to wear Dentures In Vestal NY. Drawings of dentures chatting away in a glass of water beside the bed of a sunken faced elder were a source of oft repeated amusement and overheard adult conversations about ill fitting, painful and awkward false teeth were fairly common.
Are They Out Of Fashion; Out Of Sight; Or Totally Redundant?
Then, as time passed, the jokes were less frequent and we never got our own false teeth after all – what happened? Pre-war times were very different from today; especially for those living through the Depression Years; diets were not so good and, if they did not actually suffer from malnutrition, people of my parents’ generation certainly would not have enjoyed the style of eating that promotes healthy teeth and gums; hence they suffered a lot of tooth loss. Also, for various reasons, it was not considered the norm back then to make regular visits to a dentist for a check up (just to be on the safe side) and, when a dentist was seen; it was often for a problem that had become a dire emergency and tooth extractions were often the result.
Preventive dentistry and vastly improved dental procedures along with improved personal diet and dental hygiene have saved many a tooth in my generation and onwards. Hence, you see fewer false teeth these days.
Alternatives Plus Better Materials, Manufacture & Design
Despite less people losing all their teeth these days; there are still some who do suffer that fate; but, their Dentures From Vestal NY are now made so much better that we might never notice that a person is wearing them – they look entirely natural and they give the wearer no problem when eating, drinking or talking. Additionally, advances in dentistry now provide alternatives to having a single tooth attached to a plate worn in the mouth. Even several teeth can now be replaced by dental implants or fully restored with crowns (dental caps) or bridges instead of resorting to old fashioned Dentures In Vestal NY.
