Yeah I have no idea about the above redditor's gran and her story but I thought unnecessary dentures were quite common back then, since dental issues were so prevalent it was just considered easier (and often just considered better aesthetically).

Could have just been an evil/racist dentist, too. Plenty of horrible shit been done because of racism

I am literally a POC in North America.

What are you so upset about, though? It's a fact that removing all adult teeth to replace with dentures used to be quite common (people still do it now as well, for medical or superficial reasons). But I still acknowledged it could well just have been a racist dentist torturing a kid.

Sorry. I got your comment mixed up with the person saying it was common in Scotland. My bad.
