Question:
I had a severe infection in my jaw bone two years ago. My doctor prescribed antibotics. Since then I have pain in my teeth and thus far have lost 5 teeth.
My teeth basically begin raising up out of the gum line and then finally work their way out. The teeth and the roots all in one piece. The teeth look healthy as in there are no cavities or discoloration. I am concerned as to whether a dentist could pull all my teeth for dentures.
I see no reason to have a partial plate done at this time and then have more teeth fall out later. Have you heard of this happening and what do you recommend having done. ...Visitor from OK
Answer:
You are living with the consequences of advanced periodontal disease. I
would suggest that you get with a dentist in your area to see if there is
something you can do to get this under control.
You may be right in that there is nothing better to do than to have the teeth removed but I can not tell this without seeing you. I wish there was more to tell you. Best of luck to you.
