My grandmother had all of her teeth at 100, and if there had been a better standard of dental care when I was a kid (i.e. floss, brushes with Harry Potter on them, more sophisticated dental techniques etc) my teeth would be in better shape than they are. But those huge amalgam fillings they used to give us when we were kids are a slow route to crowns eventually. And it also depends on the water in the area where you grew up.
If you floss and brush properly, then things will be in pretty good shape, but you should go at least once a year so that you avoid drastic interventions.

Lots of flaws--but eyes are worse.
