No you were using commonsense. I’m 70 next month, take drying agent meds, which have destroyed my gums, loosened teeth, I have 9 lower, full upper, but they have shifted and need braces, the worse is the receding gums are extensive, I’ve added it up $45,000+ for grafts, braces, 2 molar implants. My answer Pull the 9 lower, make a dental plate. When the Upper start falling out, you can pull them and do a upper denture at a fraction of the $45,000. I could buy 2 cars for that kind of money.
We have 1 that rides well, 1 who pukes, so it’s easier to board at the Vet, who I’ve used 30 yrs. And do the Wellness package on the 1 due for her shots. I can have peace of mind they are getting the best care possible.
I’ve got partial plates and the dentist made them so he can add to them as I lose more teeth. At 69 I’m not spending a bunch on dental work. Hell, I don’t buy green bananas.
