My problem is I'm most likely going to have all teeth pulled. I have a very bad gag reflex on the roof of my mouth, top of my tongue, and the back gum area where my wisdom teeth are. I was wanting to know what type of options I have as far as something I can wear in my mouth to help chew? I'm also very paranoid about choking that I chew my food more than I should. I'm worrying that if I get my teeth removed and can't wear dentures that I won't be able to eat most foods since I won't be able to chew good. I'm already underweight so I can't afford to eat less.

I need them pulled due to cavities. My dad's whole side of the family has problems with their teeth. Even my 3 yr old niece needs to have dental work done. I started having problems with mine around 10 years old. My family just didn't have the money to take me to the dentist and also he wasn't to good of a dentist but was the only one our dental was covered by. Right now it's mainly my front teeth that have the problem. Most of them are broken away. My back teeth have been filled when I was 10 but they do need some work on some holes that have formed. It's just mainly the cost of having them fixed is the problem since my boyfriend doesn't have dental insurance. He will be the one paying for it. I might see about having 4 teeth pulled that are my worse ones and see about trying to keep my other ones till we have some more money to get my others fixed. One of the reasons my teeth got bad quick was due to a lot of medicine I had to take when I was younger.
