These are molar teeth for the most part.

I do have large teeth but I am not self-conscious about them being too large.

The dentist with the Alzheimer's disease said I had abnormally large teeth and that they needed to be whitened. I declined on that offer.

I'm glad to know this is not unusual. I feel that everything about me is that way.

I think the reason for the cavities is because after my husband died, I was buying and eating A LOT of cheap hard candy at Winco. Some of it was taffy and the like. I'm sure that did not help.

I have since time quit buying and eating the hard candy. I bet that caused or certainly exacerbated the problem.

Thank you again!
