A dentist told my wife that she will lose all her upper front teeth. Could you please advise us regarding the nature of cosmetic procedures involved in treating this type of condition?

Q. hi My wife has just been told by a dentist that she will loose all her upper front teeth. This is due to a flea bite on her gum, which became infected, and has attacked the teeth roots and bone of her upper jaw. The dentist told her that cosmetic surgery to address this problem would be extremely expensive, and that dentures are the only practical solution. At the moment all her teeth are still firm, and her mouth looks completely normal. Could you please advise us regarding the nature of cosmetic proceedures involved in treating this type of condition, and their likely cost. Regards,
A. I think you need to have a specialist opinion with a gum specialist a periodontist. I have never heard of a flea bite which could cause this. I have a gum specialist at the practice Dr Mark Howdle please feel free to contact us for a 2nd opinion.
