On a side note, my dentist was replacing some bad fillings and he told me that I had very dense bones and should have been an MMA fighter. I asked him how he could tell that and he said he could tell from the x-rays and that my jaw bone was thick.
A regular DDS wouldn't be able to tell bone density from periapical or occlusal X-Rays.
The only way a DDS know about your bone density is if they are extracting a tooth.
But thickness is different from density. To determine thickness you need 3D cone beam scan. Which a regular dentist wouldn't have any need for.Last edited by racer59; 04-18-2015, 08:24 PM.

That's just what the dentist said to me, take it for what it is I guess. I didn't preempt him saying that, he was literally in the middle of making my tooth smoke from the drill bit when he said it out of the blue.

The older guys you see with thin bones and weak frail bodies are those guys who worked in the office and never worked out.
Here is an example of an old man with heavy dense bones.
