Loose Tooth

[Guest guest]

I am loath to have the tooth removed because I hate dentures. I gag with

them and because the two teeth in front are missing and next ones are

crowns there is no support for the type of denture that I could accept, one

that does not go over the roof of my mouth. I am not so sure about the long

term viability of implants and as it is in the upper jaw it is difficult to

do an implant.

 

I reckon that if the gingival pockets could be closed it would help a lot.

Although the tooth hurts if I press hard on it from the the side it does

not hurt if I push down on it, and I have no other obvious symptoms,

certainly no swelling in the jaw or elsewhere in the mouth.

 

Some months ago a person posted some advice suggesting that gum problems

can be healed in time with a type of water pistol directed into the

gingival pockets. I hoped that there would be a comment on that approach,

or perhaps some other advice would be forthcoming. Any further suggestions?

 

Best wishes,
