Neuromess and Bryanna,

I usually lurk on the MS page, but have been visiting here off and on
with dental problems.

I had two molars pulled in Jan of 07,infection, possibly already infected, ended
me in surgery having osteomylitis cut out of my jaw. The surgery to replace
the missing bone with bone from my hip was even more traumatic.

Now another shattered molar on the other side is scheduled for early April
and I am not quite, but nearly at panic level. I should perhaps have them
all out, but infection is such a big issue, and I don't want to land back with
the IV antibiotics and Hyperbaric oxygen tanks.

I would consider implants if they were feasible for someone with my wonky
immune system. I have seen pictures in the dental offices and they honestly
make me cringe, but I am desperate.

I already have a partial on the top of my mouth, with my dry mouth and the
cut nerve in my jaw, eating in public is messy at best and mortifying the
rest of the time. I am also having some difficulty with talking intelligibly,
especially on the phone.

I so identify with you Neuromess, and hope that we can both see good
outcomes with our problems.

Thanks in advance, Bryanna.
