Aw, Becky, I'm sorry you're dealing with this! Michael and I both have had significantly more teeth issues as we've gotten older. I honestly think it's true that retaining all of your natural teeth as you age is quite a feat! I used to believe that only people who didn't take care of their teeth had these problems, but it's just not true. Teeth can only take so much stress, and after crowns and root canals, they commonly just wear out. It's distressing -- we've gone down that road ourselves so we know. I wish I had some words of comfort or encouragement, but, sadly, it's pretty common, even among those of use who take the best care possible of our teeth. Big hugs,
