Morning all, ive been going to the dentist for once a month for a year now as my teeth are decaying badly. Ive always had strong healthy teeth. The teeth are coming away from the gums and the bone is crumbling. Next week ive got to have 3 out at the front and 2 at the back and false ones put in straight away, iam absolutley terrified. Ive only ever had one tooth out before 😒😒

There is no need to worry i have the same problem and have only a few teeth left.

My teeth were already loose before they were removed and my falsies put in straight away.

It helps to wear your teeth every day to stop your real teeth from wandering into the gap.

good luck. :)

Your dentist should have asked if you get get dry mouth as that wrecks your teeth and you can get a special gel from doctors to rub round teeth etc to protect its like a fake salvia

I've had to go for an emergency appointment as half a tooth plus filling has fallen out! I have been terrified of seeing a dentist after a nasty experience as a child. I found a lovely lady dentist, but she has moved away. My husband got me in to see a very nice man at his practice. So a root canal done this afternoon, and I'm still a bit numb. Next appointment in twelve days for a crown.

Do you know why your teeth are crumbling now? Has your dentist suggested any particular reason? Could it be connected to fibromyalgia? I wish you well for your treatment.

Feel so sorry for you. I'm petrified of the dentist and have to have sedation even to clean them as my gums have receeded quite badly. This has been a problem for about the last 10 years and I'm wondering now if it's through fibro. Been twice this week and I'booked in for the 25th for root canal and crown. So scared. My cheecks start to feel numb just waiting in the reception 😭😭 I've had injections in my neck, spine, facets and coccix and I'm ok but injections in my mouth and I'm a quivering wreck. The left side of my jaw is clicking in and out now and dentist has given me excercises to do. I wish you all good luck and lots of hugs and hope it does'nt hurt us too much x
