Q.
Hello, I am a 52 yr old woman and my life is being ruined by the state of my mouth. I have always had problems with my teeth,and over the years have had Crowns and a Bridge fitted.. The Crowns repeatedly fell off likewise The Bridge was always coming loose. Finally I gave up returning every few weeks to the dentist. Consequently my mouth is now in a disgusting state. I wear an upper denture which has 2 front teeth on it(This was originally made as a temporary measure whilst waiting for Crowns ) and i have one remaining crown on a back tooth. In my lower mouth i have 6 remaining teeth,they are all extremly badly decayed and need removing. My lower gum is very flat due to years of shrinkage i suppose. I am not sure what can be done in the way of Dentures . I realise this is my own fault and would give anything to have my teeth back. I just want to smile once more with an open mouth . Many Thanks for reading this and i feel better for just sending it.I’m finally addressing this terrible problem C
