Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | My dad got his teeth pulled all at one time and never even mentioned dentures. He was in late 20s or early 30s He could eat anything we that had teeth do. But his jaws did meet when he clamped down. mine are like Christines and don't evencome close so hat I could bite. The oral surgeon shaved some of my jaws on both sides so dentures will fit better. Now all I need are some denturess I can have a steak with christine. LOL
