She already has a bridge for 70% of her top teeth that she has lost. Apparently the actual jaw bone is rotting and there is nothing for the teeth to hang on to but the teeth themselves are healthy. The remainder of her top teeth are now becoming unstable and her dentist has advised her she will loose them soon and will have to have a denture. This terrifies my Mum who is only 47 years old. Can you advise us of any treatment options to slow her condition down or alternatives to a denture? She already takes Co Q-10 and Grapeseed Oil to try and strengthen the gum tissue. I would be so very grateful for your help. My Mum has gone in to premature menapause and is now suffering from receding gum disease.
