Q. Hi i am 37 when i was18 my dentist removed all my back teeth top and bottom and my experience was so bad i never went back to the dentist till i was 23 which resulted in me having 5 crowns 2 root fillings and 3 normal filling although i dreaded the appointments i went as i wanted my teeth sorting then my dentist retired and for the last 5 years have had 3 dentists i am now with my current dentist and my 3 bottom teeth which were filled are all cracked and recedeing even my bottom root filling looks like it is receding my dentist checked my teeth and said my gums were receding i have to see a hygenist every 3 months however i cannot eat or chew because of my bottom teeth yet it seems she would rather let my bottom teeth deteriate rather than crown then i have a really bad gag reflex but she says the only thing i can do is be reccomened to a specialist to get rear dentures fitted so i dont eat with my front teeth even though i currently cant have been on soup and soft food for a year now and can feel my health deterating is there anything i can do,
