I have severe gingivitis with loose lower front teeth. Past dental x-rays show that I have no or very little bone in my gums. I do not want dentures and my upper front teeth have shifted severely and is very noticable. One of the upper front teeth have protruded so far in front of the other teeth and I try not to smile showing my teeth. Since I have no bone in the gums could I be a candidate for dental implants? What caused my teeth to shift so far? Other than dentures what can I do? Visitor from OH (answer)
I haven't been to the dentist for about 10 some years, I believe I do have severe gingivitis. I am horriblily terrified of going but as each day passes, I start to not like my teeth at the state that they are in. With severe gingivitis, would I have to have All of my teeth taken out and use false teeth for the rest of my life? The whole idea of going to a dentist has kinda lingered in the back of my mind for years now. What is my best bet, taking inconsideration that I most likly have severe gingivitis? What boggles my mind is that I'm only 18. ...Visitor from CA (answer)

Does this seem extreme? ...Visitor from IL (answer)
