which dental condition causes all upper teeth to be extracted?

Question

What disease can cause your teeth to turn gray?

Answer 1

Periodontal disease: Periodontal disease, where you loose the bone support around your teeth, would cause you to loose your teeth.

Answer 2

Advanced periodontal: Advanced periodontal disease is the most common reason for multiple tooth removal.

Answer 3

Total neglect: Advanced and untreatable periodontal disease as well as rampant caries and un-restorable teeth are the two major dental conditions that require full mouth extractions.

Answer 4

Advanced Disease: There are many possible reasons but ruling out trauma, then it could be advanced periodontal disease as well as from drugs. If someone is taking illegal drugs such as meth, then the teeth could go. Neglecting oral hygiene is also another reason.

Answer 5

Multiple reasons: Most commonly in children, untreated cavities that have caused abscesses. Most commonly in adults, periodontal (gum/bone) disease (infection). Can also be from fractured teeth, or teeth that have to be removed to facilitate orthodontic treatment. The most common cause of tooth loss is neglect. If you're concerned, please give your dentist a call.

Answer 6

Cancer: Gum disease, cavities, some genetic problems and cancer in the mouth- removing teeth prior to radiation and surgery is also possible.

Answer 7

Depends: Severe bone loss from periodontitis or bone disease or severe trauma with fractured bone and roots.

Answer 8

Loss of teeth: Usually you lose teeth most commonly from progressive gum disease.

Answer 9

Decay: Tooth decay is a primary reason for having to have a tooth removed. Often, unfortunately, if neglect is present, this may require all teeth to need removed. There are, however, medical conditions which affect salivary flow which can make one more prone to decay. Additionally, radiation to the oral and maxillofacial region may also cause the need to have teeth removed.

Answer 10

Cavity/gum disease: Extensive decay and or gum disease can lead to bone loss, mobility, abscess, ... And cause loss of teeth.

Answer 11

Post Op Instructions: Your dentist should give you oral or written instructions or both after extracting your teeth. Follow those instructions. If he\she did not, it's best to call the office. Having said that, soft nutritious foods. Bananas, ice cream, soft cheese, fruits, health shakes, etc.

Answer 12

After Extraction,: Avoid food that can cause particles or seeds that can get into the socket. E.G., nuts, sesame seeds to name a few. You may want to stay away from sugary food and eat vitamin c rich food to allow faster healing instead. Stay healthy!

Answer 13

Depends on condition: Are they all loose and periodontally involved? Any impacted teeth? Any infections? Your best bet is to ask the surgeon removing your teeth... Without being able to examine you, it is hard to give you proper advice. All the best...

Answer 14

Proper Preparation: That's an extensive amount of teeth to be taken out at one visit. All your questions should be answered so that you understand what is going to be done, why, and what to expect by your treating dentist (both oral surgeon and general dentist\prosthodontist). They are the ones who know you, your medical and dental history and your specific circumstances best.

Answer 15

Nope: Dentures and implants are your options. Discuss your concerns with a local dentist who can examine you and quote you fees.

Answer 16

No: An immediate transitional denture is an option. Your dentist takes an impression or mold of your teeth and removes the teeth from the stone models. Your dentures are fabricated and when ready, you have your teeth removed and your dentures inserted the same day so you do not have to go toothless. Depending on the number of teeth remaining, immediate implants and fixed dentures may be possible.

Answer 17

Smoking vs Extract: Don't smoke for at least 48 hours after extractions. The worse thing in smoke is carbon monoxide. It permanently stops red blood cells from working. Not all but enough to delay or stop healing. If you absolutely have to then use a vapor cigarette that has no CO

Answer 18

Another reason: Dry socket. You may not have heard of it but 'drawing' in anything like smoke or fluids in a straw - even excessive mouth breathing - can risk the risk for it. Something in the healing at the extraction site needs to be undisturbed long enough to form a pod type thing. If lost, it heals poorly. Be really careful - ask your dentist for a list of do's and don'ts. I hope it goes well!

Answer 19

Not recommended: Most of oral surgeons advice not to smoke for at least 24-72 hours. the smoking will interfere with blood flow and compromise or delay the healing.

Answer 20

Be Patient: At least one more day (36 hours after extraction) and still would not use a straw!!!!
