Hi,
I’m 42 years old; I have a recession & bone loss in lower 2 front teeth.I've had 3 gum surgeries (soft tissue grafts for the last 10 years, & 2 years ago had braces & permanent wire attached on back afterward so it hold lower front teeth. Dentist suggested to have extracted 2 front teeth & have bridge that will cover the 6 front teeth.
Thanks a lot -

That sounds about right. Without looking at your x-rays or oral history it's hard to tell. The teeth will eventually fall out regardless of treatment. Is there also bone loss around the other teeth? If that is the case maybe you should consider a partial or full denture. You have to really discuss these options with your dentist. Hope this helps....good luck!

You have done nearly everything possible, so your dentist is probably right and you are better off with a bridge.
Do you smoke? it can cause some serious gum diseases, so give up if you do.

Try this first, you probably will be surprised. I am using it and my loose teeth have tightened. At least read the information cuz you have nothing to lose.

What's your question? Your dentist appears to be treating your problem?
