can i opt to have a semit-permanent denture in all my lower teeth?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have peridontitus (?) already had 3 back molars removed, rest of teeth are lose and have spread. I am having treatment at the moment to have all the pockets scrapped out (2nd time around). I understand that once all my teeth have gone I will no longer have this disease but my bone and cartlidge would have been destroyed making implants difficult. Can I opt to have, say, all my lower teeth removed now and have a semit-permanent denture fitted as shown on your web site for S3 Dentistry and what costs would I be looking at? Many thanks

What should I look for in a dentist to treat Sjogrens dry mouth?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Q.
My teeth seem to be “crumbling” like a cookie. I have had Systemic Lupus for 35 years, and have taken prednisone for those 36 years; I am 46; have Sjogrens (dry mouth)12+ years,heart disease for a couple years. What can I do to slow this down, or stop it. Is it due to the cortisone use during the years I was growing? What should I look for in a dentist to treat this? Thank you
