Hey everyone. I am 27 years old and am getting all my remaining upper teeth and an immediate denture in about a week, also I a, having two pulled on the bottom, leaving 6 teeth and will get a partial for those. I had chemo and radiation to my head which has caused my teeth to fall out over the past 6 years and I've spent so much money on my teeth and am still paying it off. My teeth ache, all of them and the one dentist said he could take all of the bottom but I would probably regret it and once they are gone, they are gone. The teeth that will remain, still hurt but the dentist said they looked pretty good. Will a partial help stabilize them, or make them hurt worse. Should I get them all pulled? How long will my teeth last with a partial? Should I just go ahead and get them all out. I also don't have insurance, only a little student loan money and once it's gone, I couldn't afford another denture after a partial. The reason the dr's are hesitant because. Like I said all my teeth hurt and they said it might not be from my teeth and there is a chance he takes all of them and I still have pain. I am so nervous. I should prob just trust this dentist. She has been amazing and they are helping me with finances so I can eat and smile again. But I hear ppl say they wish they kept more teeth even if they weren't perfect instead of full dentures. I was also told it will be difficult because I have very little saliva and sensitive gums. They had started to recede. Anyway, thanks for your input?
