Some that qualify to answer that question may not want that revealed. My guess is no. The olfactory sense and the sensory receptors on our tongue and palate are still in place and actively providing feedback.
I am in a blind tasting wine club where the majority (7 members) are dentists/oral surgeons. They are also mostly 20 plus years my senior (65 or older).
This topic came up a few years ago when one the oldest members had already lost some of his teeth and were replaced. Some issues with taste had arose. If I recall the poligrip type products affect the taste buds if applied within hours of tasting. HE also said food was more likley to remain in the tooth area with dentures/false teeth than with real teeth and therefore he 1) had bad breath at times and 2) impacted his perceptions/tastings of wine.
Neither prevented him from tasting wines as he applied his dental products well in advance and avoided eating foods until the flights of wines were tasted. He than ate food while drinking wine (tasting and drinking are very different things in my life at least)
I think taste occurs on a scatter diagram that’s impacted by all sorts if factors; genetic, age, physiology, diet, social training, experience and yes, probably teeth.
Your blueberry isn’t my blackberry. Your salty isn’t my salty.
You might want to go to West Virginia and ask people there. The old joke, how do we know that the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia? Answer, if it had been invented anywhere else, it would be called the teethbrush.
A good one Howard and a new one to me. Can`t wait to lay this on my WV friends. Actually, it could also apply to Arkansas where I know even more folks.
