Oak - I have had to have a couple rear ones in gold because of low clearance. And how about the gold crown that had to be replaced?? I was so mad about that.

I didn't have any molars removed, but ended up getting cavities that spread so my rear teeth were all fillings.

And to think I never had any cavities til college. Sound like we've all had a lot of fun with dentists. And paid for their kids' college....
