It's me again haha, i know this place isn't as busy as it used to be but im hoping I can get some thoughts and opinions.
So roughly around 4-5 months ago I had to go in for a full mouth debriment and a couple of fillings which worked fantastically and made my mouth look healthy again. I was in the process of saving up for a gum graft because the bottom four teeth have virtually no gum left and all the roots are fully exposed at the front and back of the tooth due to gum disease and recession.
Despite religious cleaning twice sometimes three times a day and using mouthwash, the calculus is back with a vengence and so uncomfortable. At least one tooth is lose and the others click, it looks awful and makes every single day a nightmare. Because of my phobia I have to be referred for IV sedation and last time it took nearly 6 months between getting the referral and actually getting the treatment.
Anyways, to get to the point, part of me is questioning whether it would be easier to get the four front bottom teeth removed and a partial denture put in. I am only 22 but this seems like my only option seeing as even with perfect dental hygiene my front bottom teeth are a lost cause.
Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
