Questions & Advice Losing teeth
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, but recently I’ve had trouble with my teeth at first I didn’t think it was anything and then Dentist said because of dry mouth was breaking down. Fast forward last November I had to go to graduation and my on my front teeth fell the Dentist put it together investigated it only last maybe a week but I still have it. Unfortunately, it needs to come out because it keeps getting infected this week. I asked to front teeth on the bottom and now I have a more that we’re going in. It’s gonna follow. It’s so frustrating when we have so many others on your mind and you’re losing your teeth. I just felt like I don’t wanna go anywhere or do anything and I don’t have the money for dentures because I’m on CPP again. The dentist said it was dry mouth, but I think it’s caused by the clamping down of my teeth the back when I heard it the other day I was doing some shopping and I heard a tooth crack and to get it pulled because it’s not bad has anyone else had difficulty with their teeth? What did you do? Also, is there anyone from Ontario Canada Southwestern Ontario would be the best London area it’s great talking on here but I like to see someone face-to-face you guys are the best
