Hi there, so glad I found this forum. I have a 4yr. old daughter who has Ectodermal Dysplasia and was born missing almost all of her teeth. She has 10 teeth total and the rest I am told need to be filled in with implants after bone grafting as well as a sinus lift. I'm concerned because she's only 4 and I know her jaw isn't finished growing yet, but the oral surgeon as well as prosthodontist at a leading University medical center both agree that if she were to wear a partial denture or something of that sort, then it would only wear her jaw bone down even more. I don't want her to be teased in school because kids can be terribly cruel, and the dentists agree that we should do this now, but I feel VERY concerned that this is just too young and that since she's already going to need bone grafting done, why not wear a prosthetic partial denture or something and get the grafting done when she's a teenager or something. Would that be causing much more extensive grafting procedures in the future, or will it be the same no matter what? Also, does it have to come from her own bone, or could I be the donor myself and save her that extra surgery? I'm also concerned because as her jaw grows once it recognizes it has the implants in, they will be displaced and need to be changed out frequently. Thanks for any info. you can give me!
