I went back to dentist so we could review X-rays and his findings for a treatment plan.
he said I have a narrow roof of mouth and my airway hard to see. I have been grinding my teeth (no idea) so many teeth are messed up. I do snore so I may have apnea. My crowns need to be removed so he can asses the damage and save what teeth he can. He says he can save many of my teeth. He recommended deep cleanings and extractions to start and may need root canals. A few teeth in back have infection and or bone loss. I need two or three back teeth removed. He will need to remove my bottom loose front tooth and the one next to it. He said the surrounding teeth he thinks will be ok with deep cleaning regularly. He can place removable tooth or teeth on front bottom ( it has a wire attached that will connect to other teeth). Unsure of candidate for implant due to bone loss . Will get a better X-ray to see . He said he thinks when they go to deep clean the tooth will just fall out. He doesn’t think I need full mouth dentures. He also said I will need deeper sedation then oral due to my phobia.
I’m relieved there is help but so embarrassed.
