Bone loss in my jaw full mouth extractions
 
What do I do? I am 40 this year. I have had 6 children. I am in wonderful health, except for severe bone loss in my mouth. Dentists have recommended full mouth extractions. What does that require? Pain? Embarrassement?... for how long? I do not have alot of finances and I am desperate to fix my teeth and my smile. I will not smile and feel this has aged me drastically. My teeth are loose and my gums have receeded. I can't go on like this. Any advice please write!!!!! Doctors recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi!

The most significant thing is......... if your bone loss is due to periodontal disease, then you should be aware that the bacteria that caused the bone loss is infectious and it will cause and contribute to disease in other areas of your body, not just the mouth. It's great that you feel so healthy and of course you want to always feel that way! That's why it is so important to understand the relationship between periodonal disease and sytemic disease.

If your bone loss is so severe that your dentist is recommending full mouth extractions, then your options for replacing your teeth may be limited due to the lack of supporting bone. Dental implants require healthy, adequate bone to hold them in place. If all of the teeth are removed and the bone is not adequate for implants, then your only option may be full dentures.

Has your dentist talked to you about dentures?
