44% of Singaporeans aged 55 and above have fewer than 20 natural teeth. So what's it like to eat with fewer teeth? Talking Point host Steven Chia tries a custom-made dental device that simulates having just 16 teeth. He then has lunch with three seniors living with tooth loss or full dentures, who tell him which foods they now struggle to eat. One says she feels embarrassed when she cannot chew or swallow certain foods, and now seldom eats out.
