    Default Dentist Advice

    Just recieved my dental assessment.
    The assessment was done by consultant in special care dentistry,and a consultant in special care +specialist in oral surgery.
    I have eight teeth that need sorting
    a) REMOVING COMPLETELY
    b)RETAINED WITH A ROOT FILLING replaced by a denture
    c)CROWN AND ROOTCANAL TREATMENT
    There are several factors as to why I'm in this postion thats not what bothers me.
    As I feel uncomfortable having dental work done I have asked for sedation and local aneasthetic.
    A meeting of the above consultants,consultant Anaesthetist and my wg consultant
    came to the conclusion that it would only be done one tooth at a time with follow ups through the healing proccess.Also with the addition of two intravenously given antibiotics followed by a week of oral anti b.
    Due to the high risk of osteonecrosis or leaving a large non-healing area Im having a meeting with the consultants to decide which path I want to go .
    Would appreciate any advice ,sorry its such a long post but was the only way to give you the full picture Thanks for help DEEx
    ps the three options above are available for each tooth.
