My appearance before and after dentures

Just wanted to make a reply to kalinjax's video. I made this a while ago.

Just in case you are wondering....

I had my teeth pulled because my lower molars were infected to the bone, and i was awaiting a heart transplant. And if you don't know, gum disease leads to heart disease. So instead of opting for partials and getting lots of work done on the rest of my teeth, I just told them to take them all out. didn't want to infect my new heart. :)

Please don't leave any rude comments.

I find you the closest to my own story of those that are young with dentures. I have never had great teeth since my adult ones came in. I was kinda sick for a few months with various illnesses at once my body than went into an autoimmune attack and I was crippled by it for 18 months afterwards. Now 3 years later my teeth never really recovered they have just started to show signs of life but its too late and too much damage has been done. I will have dentures soon i am certain (currently 30)

@AxiomofDiscord I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you :)

@Karoger1987 just afraid that by the time i am old I won't have enough of a jaw left to support the dentures so I am still stalling ... but maybe the damage is killing my jaw bone i don't know. I am seeing a few dentist to get the whole story and seeing if I should wait or not. I have grandparents that got them younger than I and they still could wear dentures at 80 plus so I wonder if all the depletion stuff is a little exaggerated or if its a by person kinda issue.

@AxiomofDiscord I am worried about that too. but i'm hoping i'll be able to get implants in the near future to prevent that bone erosion. My mom has had dentures for like 10 years and her dentures still fit well, she doesn't have to use any paste.

Why is it that people feel the need for you to take out your teeth I find that to be annoying. Anyway you look great keep smiling

[Karoger1987]

@qtqdime lol i know. i think they have gum or denture fetishes. Thank you :)

Hey! You did really great job with your new teeth. I am considering full dentures for quite long time, such positive results move me forward :)

@TonyIshmeal1981 I guess it would just be called Osteomyelitis, which is an infection of the bone. I don't really remember having any signs of the bone infection. But i did have a root canal in one of my molars because it kept becoming an abcessed tooth, face was swollen a few times. I had the root canal when i was 15. I would get those teeth taken care of quick, gum disease can lead to heart disease, and a number of other things could go wrong with the bone infection.

WHAT WERE THE SIGNS YOUR TEETH WERE INFECTED TO THE BONE IM JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE 80 PERCENT OF MY TEETH ARE ROTTING OUT OR CRACKED AND WHEN ITS TIME I WANNA BE READY I KNOW I WILL NEED TO DO THIS I USED TO NEVER BRUSH I JUST USED TO DO MOUTH WASH FROM 18-26 AND ALL MY TEETH ARE NOW DECAYED
