can i have all my teeth out?

[bubbles4920]

i hate going to the dentist and never seem to be without some sort of dental problem. can i ask to have all my teeth taken out and have dentures. a friend of ours though much older has wonderful perfect white teeth and they are dentures. would i have to go private and can i insist even if dentist wants to same em all?

Are you serious

how would you feel taking them out at night and putting them in a jar

[bubbles4920]

i dont think you have to take them out at night do you. i thought that some people left them in, depends on adhesive doesnt it? and yes i honestly am serious, i have always wanted perfect white teeth and i dont want to have veneers,crowns etc. too much future expense!

ewe, no no no!! Dont be hasty! I'm a little younger(not much!) than you, and have lost all but 6 of my bottom teeth due very bad dentist in teens, so now have to wear a plate. Granted, teeth look staight and white, but took weeks of uncontrollable sobbing, mouth ulcers and dry mouth disease to get used to it! Apart from being embarresed, its a pain in the rear having to soak, stick and walk around with a mouthful of cement that tastes like ar*e! Saving very hard for implants! Hungary is 50% cheaper for dentistry work than the UK...why not try a restoration attempt before evicting your teeth completely?? x

hang on to your own teeth you. will regret if you have them removed if they are still healthy.takes a while to get used to dentures your speech/ chewing /and uncomfortable feeling in your mouth.
