Likewise, I always went to the dentist over the years, regular check-ups, cleaning, etc. But I inherited my father's soft-teeth gene (he had all his extracted in his early 20s). I had endless cavities (I recall having 13 in a single visit)...and my dental bills were enormous. The constant infections practically had me searching drawers for gun ammo.
Strange as it sounds - having them all extracted was the best option. That was a decade ago, and I've never regretted it.
