Accepted Answer

: Need to have these teeth extracted immediately. Long term spread of bacteria can lead to diabetes and possibly stroke. Also a sepsis  can develop which is life threatening. Have your teeth removed today.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Absolutely : You may wish to consult a prosthodontist. We are specialist in helping patient deal with the challenges of adjusting to complete denture.

Question 3

i looking for a dentist that takes medical assistance. i looking into getting some dentures for both upper, lower done. but i don't want them to  flop ?

Accepted Answer

Needs help: If finances are an issue, I recommend you seek an evaluation and treatment either at a local dental school or hospital based dental residency facility. You can also call your local dental society for advice and referrals. Some dentists volunteer their services at little or no cost.

Question 4

how does the dentist should clean dentures?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasonically: Dentists will place the denture in a solution called "tartar and stain remover" and place the container in an ultrasonic bath.  The shock waves within the solution speed up the action of the solution to  dissolve hardened deposits and dislodge stain from the denture.  The use of a "high shine" material applied to the denture can restore a high lustre to the denture surface.

Question 5

what questions to ask a dentist about dentures?

Accepted Answer

Almost anything you can think of.: How much will it hurt.
How much will it cost.
How long will it take.
Will I be able to eat normally again.
How do I keep the denture clean.

Those are just a few things that pop into my head

Question 6

how many impressions do you have to have at the dentist for getting dentures?

Accepted Answer

Usually 2 to 4: Usually 2-4.

Question 7

do store-bought liners for dentures work well? they're a lot cheaper than heading back to the dentist, but do they work?

Accepted Answer

Dr : Dr mcleod has explained it quite well. You get what you pay for.

A denture is a custom fit prosthesis made for you, and only you. It will not fit well in any other mouth. Over time, your mouth changes and it will need adjusting. That's part of the expense of taking good care of yourself.

Do yourself a favor and do it right. Dentistry is not for the do it yourselfer.

Question 8

how can i repair my bottom denture that broke in half? the dentists are closed until monday. i dropped my bottom plate and it broke right in half.

Accepted Answer

This : This is not a home repair project. You run the risk of damaging the denture to the point that it cannot be repaired.  Wait until monday to have it professionally repaired.

Question 9

my front tooth on my upper dentures came out.can't get in to a dentist, can i use den tek to repair it?

Accepted Answer

Possible, but : The best repair is done by a dentist but in an emergency the  over the counter denture repair can be used. Try to get into a dentist for a repair. It will last longer and look better than a repair done at home.

Question 10

what is the bracket that dentists put on your false teeth?

Accepted Answer

Molar band: A band is stronger than a bracket and molars need something strong because of the chewing forces of the back teeth. It's difficult or impossible to get brackets to adhere to false teeth (melts or porcelain)..
