Wrong approach: Why not try to restore the teeth and make her comfortable? Decaying teeth will soon be unrestorable, necessitating extractions and dentures. That will make her more uncomfortable. See a local dentist and find out what can be done.

Decayed Teeth: I would encourage you to address your mother's decayed teeth, especially in light of her diabetes. The combination of decayed teeth and elevated sugars is a potential risk of infection. The combination of malnutrition and low sugars is equally problematic. Probably better to restore her ability to chew and eat an appropriate diet.

2 separate problems: 1. High BP see a primary care physician for evaluation, tests and treatment. 2. Dental decay, see a dentist. Most of the dental problems can easily be taken care of by a dentist. Call your dentist for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
