Question:
Bone degeneration and tooth loss: My dentist wants to pull my four bottom front teeth due to significant bone loss.
Is there anything that I can do to prevent this such as perhaps having bone grafted to the existing bone while the teeth are still in my mouth or some other kind of stabilizing surgery?
I'm only 46 and don't want to have the teeth pulled when they are not giving me any trouble . . . I realize that I may have to some day, but I would like other options to try and delay this as long as possible. Especially since they are all four bottom front teeth. ...Visitor from NY
Answer:
Assuming you have been diagnosed with advanced gum disease, look up Perio-Protect on the net. Find a dentist in Brooklyn on their list of participating dentists. He/she will help you save your teeth if
possible.
