Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 awww Bobbi i am sorry that you are having problems with your teeth .. if you get them pulled will you put in any replacements ? i needed a root canal and could not afford it so my tooth was pulled in the back .. the second molar from the back left, i still hate that there is a gap there and its a pain in the butt, seems like i cant brush so good there .. the one tooth in the back is by itself and seems harder to brush .. might just be me but it seems like it .. wishing you all the best with your dental work..

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 OUCH!! 3 teeth? I know I am looking at a few needing to be pulled myself. I will be going to the dentist when I get back from Mexico. I have a HUGE phobia of the dentist and my teeth weren't the greatest before the surgery. Since then they have gone downhill FAST. I am thinking the calcium thing. TElls me I am not getting enough I am just hoping I don't need to have them ALL pulled but I know I can't afford to be having a ton of root canals either.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 i understand not wanting to go .. i had put it off and ended up needing the root canal but not able to ... afford it so i paid the price i still hate going and to be honest this last time i went still was difficult but i again paid the price .. 3 cavities and needed major cleaning .. and my teeth dont even look like the were needing it but i put it off way too long.. i tell you on one of the teeth i was thinking why bother just pull it but i didn't want to go through that again .. one gap in my mouth is enoug h... teeth are important and one day i do not look fwd to maybe needing dentures so i have to take care of what i have now.. hope this all goes well for you and you can save your teeth if any way possible .. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 two of the teeth that were pulled were old root canal's, and one of them had some bone loss under the tooth...the other one needed a root canal but there is no tooth above it so i didn't see the point of fixing it at this time, i'm sure I'll have to get a partial sooner or later, because right now i only have one 'chomper' left. I HATE the dentist with a passion, had avoided them for about 10 years and 2 years ago I had TONS of work done, but figured i wasn't in any pain anymore LOL and just waited until i was in pain....now all i have left is to get 3 cavities done and then later the partial.....so for once my teeth are doing pretty good. ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: GastricBypass-LOSERS To: <GastricBypass-LOSERS > Subject: Re: Nutrionist Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 0:43:05 -0400 OUCH!! 3 teeth?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Ya if I need the teeth pulled that I think I need pulled, which is all 4 wisdom teeth plus 2 molars in the back left on top and 2 on the bottom, I will want to put a partial in I am sure. I am just tired of them hurting all of the time so I will be glad to get them gone!!
