[post_page_title]Pulling teeth – even healthy ones[/post_page_title]
Despite their best efforts, some aspects of modern life have managed to worm their way into the Amish home. One of those, unfortunately, is over-consumption of sugar, and with that naturally came dental problems. Some Amish, especially more conservative groups, have a… peculiar approach to dental care.
Local dentists, some of whom may be enthusiastic but untrained, simply yank out rotten teeth. Extraction is simply a cheap and convenient solution – so much so that sometimes even healthy teeth are pulled to avoid having to deal with them later! This is the reason many conservative Amish – even youths – wear dentures.
