Are dentures best option for painful and decaying teeth?
Q. I have a real serious problem. I went to a dentist because my teeth were just breaking apart piece by piece. They ended up pulling all my top teeth and gave me a denture. They said they could save my bottom teeth with root canals and fillings. Well after thousands of dollars almost everyone tooth on the bottom has now broken off and I am in serious pain. My grandfather, mother and sister all have had this happen to them too. Sometimes I can just run my tongue over my teeth and my teeth come off in like a gooey substance. There is not much left and I stay in pain. My dentist really screwed me. Can you tell me what is wrong with my teeth? I am sure I need dentures now on the bottom but after all that I paid and still paying I can’t afford to do anything else. In pain in Washington State,
A. Unfortunatly some people have weaker teeth than others, this can be due to genetics and/or sometimes certain medication that you may have taken whilst the teeth were forming may have weakened your teeth.It is hard for me to tell you exactly all the different and affordable options. I recommend that you see a dentist who you can trust – perhaps through a referral – and hopefully thay may be able to help you.Justin Glaister
