Hi all,

I am so glad that I found this forum!

I have been ill for the past 3 years, as a result of the medications I have been taking I developed Xerostomia (dry mouth syndrome). Many of my teeth decayed due to this.

2 months ago I had a medical emergency and had to be intubated. During the intubation, 9 of my teeth were broken off-- exposing the insides of the teeth, which I can see are severely decayed.

I have visited an oral surgeon and dentist/anathesiologist, who have told me that I need full mouth teeth extractions and eventually dental implants.

This has obviously devastated me, especially after reading about all of the complications that can occur.

I am just so scared. The surgery should be taking place within the next week or two.

Any advice?
