Tooth extraction and full dentures question.?
Speaking from someone who used to work in a dental office for many years, if you are actually doing that routine daily, that is wonderful. Maybe you are not flossing correctly though, which would cause your gums to still not be healthy. I know because I used to floss everyday as a teen, but still had some issues with my gums as I did not do it correctly. I would not recommend removing your teeth and getting dentures. I think that would be the worst course of treatment for you. Depending on your financial situation, you have other options.( of course you should have a consultation and xrays done with your dentist) Braces is an option, that would straighten out your teeth and correct your bite if that is also an issue. You could get crowns placed on your teeth to improve them , or bridges if your are missing any teeth. Also for a shorter term fix, maybe bonding of your front teeth to improve the appearance of them as well. Of course I am not your dentist and have not seen your xrays to say anything more about it, but please do not remove your teeth for dentures as it will cause you alot of other problems down the road. Have a consultation with your dentist, or maybe you need to find a new one and ask for all options available for you to improve your smile. Good luck and I hope that I may have answered some of your question for you.
