Hi to all - I've posted before about my allergy to glycolic acid derivatives and some of the challenges I'm facing in losing my teeth. I've definitely ruled out root canals and have one tooth that may be possible to save with a crown but all my lower teeth will need to be extracted, probably within the next year. I do have five teeth in the center of my upper jaw that are ok - nothing is wrong with them yet. I'm trying to research dentures or partials to find out if they have glycols. I've gone to 4 dentists for estimates and 3 have declined to treat me as I have too many medical conditions and allergies. My current dentist did call one manufacturer and was told by someone there that virtually all dentures and partials will have glycols in them. So this dentist is reluctant to give me any further information so that I can call myself to research this. I know how to research glycols in medications, foods and topical products - but dentistry is like speaking a new language for me. I've found with medications that once I learned the lingo I could ask enough intelligent questions that they often transfer me to chemists - and that's where I've learned the good stuff! The chemist's love to talk and educate you on how the glycols are used, and if they are still present in the finished product. I can't find that out from the product information people. If it had glycols in it at any place in the manufacturing process they will tell me it has glycols in it - because they don't want to be sued. I have trouble believing that a hard material such as a denture still has glycols in it. But my problem now is that I don't have anyone even to give me names of dentures or partials so I can begin to learn and research them. Can anyone here get me started? My hope is to find one or more dentures so I can take this info to my current dentist or others and be able to say I KNOW I can use this type of denture, etc. can you work with this product? Otherwise I am looking at having 5 teeth in my mouth in the not-too-distant future. I am going to an oral surgeon here soon - I don't know if I even have someone who will extract my teeth - and two are really starting to hurt. I'm having a tough time thinking of only having 5, or no teeth in my mouth - forever. I'm only 51. I would appreciate any info on names of dentures and partials that anyone can give me. Thanks!
