A senior couple celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with a day of festivities. In bed that night the lady said to her husband, “Dear, embrace me the way you used to do when we were first married.” Eagerly, he complied with a strenuous hug.
Then she pleaded, “Now, kiss me the way you used to.” Promptly, he gave her a voluptuous kiss worthy of a romantic movie star. Not content, she had another request. Giggling, she said, “Now, bite me the way you used to.” He jumped out of bed. “Where are you going?” she asked. “To get my teeth,” he replied.
While we may joke about people with missing teeth or none, nevertheless, good teeth are essential to good health. Dentists often strive to save a defective tooth with still healthy roots by putting a crown on it. Thus, many people feel eligible to sing that famous hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns.”
It is interesting to note that in an article in Consumer Reports on Health of April 2002, fewer than 20% of the residents of eleven states had lost all of their natural teeth. Their dentures are a combination of the natural and the false. These states are Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Hawaii and, of course, Texas. The residents of the other states had a slightly higher percentage of only false teeth.
