I only remember my mom with dentures, going back to when I was 5 or 6. Don't know much about my dads' teeth except that they started looking nasty when he was in his 60s.

One of my brothers went to the dentist and was told he had 30 cavities. He had bridges and other stuff. One of my sisters had a lot of restoration and bridges, too. She worked for a dentist and eventually convinced me to go in to get started on my own repairs.
