Wow! And i thought i was the only one!. Our case is quite similar!. One oral surgeon wanted to pulled ALL the teeth, baby and the impacted adult teeth!. Take a bone from my hip and put that into my mouth(due to my top jaw being so small) and then add dental implants!. But the cost came around to 50,000!.!.!.And i have medicaid!. I know where your coming from!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to take extra care of your teeth - this should be your #1 priority!. brushing at least twice a day and FLOSSING at least before bed EVERY night!. Use fluoride (ACT is good) every single day- it strengthens teeth and makes them more resistant to decay!. Although not everyone does this even though they should, YOU need to take the extra step or you will lose your teeth!. Especially since money is an issue, this will save you mega bucks in the long run!. You can discuss with a dentist if a bridge is an option!. It is a permanent fixture and is much less costly than implants!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have had xrays that show no adult teeth the only thing they could do would be to pull the baby teeth & implant false ones!. I think its a little different than dentures!. As for the money to have it done, you should try to find a low cost dentist willing to take payments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
