Not only in the uk. There is a museum in Hobart with displays of rooms fitted out from different eras with lots of info on the era. One of the info pieces indicated that the same thing was done in Tasmania too.
Think back to how many of your grandparents had most of their own teeth, not too many at a guess, dentistry has come a long way from the time when all dentists did was rip 'em out.
I have dentures so the question is somewhat irrelevant to me.Quote:

Maybe not my original teeth but still my own. :D
