I am 59 years old and have had years of horrible dental problems, braces, extractions, fillings,crowns, root canals etc and late last year (with 24 teeth left) I went for an assessment with a local dentist who told me every single filling, root canal and crown had failed! And I would need everything redone, with first having a three visit intensive and expensive deep cleaning!
i told them I wanted my teeth removed and dentures instead, they said absolutely not.
went to second dentist,...same assessment same comment when I said dentures.
“We could be sued” they said
third dentist actually removed the two molars which were painful and said “Maybe, we can talk about further extraction “
finally went to an oral surgeon who agreed with me! (Shock!) and I had the remaining teeth extracted in Oct 2017
immediate dentures put in. Little pain, lots of liquids and soft foods for two months but I am so glad I did this finally.
wish I had done it sooner, I look amazing and can eat and talk well.
dont be scared of the proces, follow all directions and take care of yourself and this is doable!
