[quote:Anonymous Coward 37052662:MV8yMTg2MTY3XzM2OTkyMjk3X0E3MThBREM2] [quote:Sefira:MV8yMTg2MTY3XzM2OTkyMjA2XzFERDI2MTk=] I had to have an implant on my lower left molar second from the back. My friend is a dentist, and I have a background in Biology, and if you pull out the teeth you can lose bone density in the surrounding bones. It was a long and uncomfortable process, as at first I found myself constantly tempted to play with it with my tongue, and you still have to clean carefully around it. Someone else I know had their whole mouth done at the same time, and they said the teeth felt like foreign objects at first and it is hard to gauge pressure at first. Once you get used to them, if they are lined up properly and evened out, they aren't even perceptible. If you grind your teeth, you may have to get a bite guard to wear at night to help from clenching, I found myself clenching more during the adjustment period. You have to clean around them well, and I would suggest a waterpik, and some of those wirebrush picks. I had tooth trouble because for many years I didn't floss. Flossing makes a huge difference. For tooth pain, I have found oil pulling (swishing) for 20 minutes after flossing after every meal or 2 times a day, will turn it way down, and promotes healing of any issues. It saved me from root canal. [/quote] What apain in the ass! I don't think I want to pay thousands of dollars for this. Think I will opt for the denture! Thanks for your reply. [/quote]
Original Message
I am losing my two front teeth because of an incompetent dentist grinding them down so much that they will not hold another cap. Should I get a denture or go for the $7,000 implants?
