Hi Dallas and Dawn,

Dallas,

I'm glad to hear that this 80 year old women was not affected as I was. I wished I had the same results but I didn't!!! I look very old and my face looks like a skeleton. I use to be very attractive and very young looking for my age only 3 years ago. Not anymore!!! My fiances mother had dentures and looks young but she had a round face to begin with.

I believe I look so bad because I had thin long facial features to begin with, with high cheek bones. People with these type of features tend to look older when they get bone loss. An aquaintance I know looks just as bad as I do since he lost his teeth at an early age and has the same kind of features. Also the younger you are, the more bone loss will affect your appearance. 45 is very young to be loosing your teeth. If you get dentures in your 60s for example, than it's not suppose to affect your appearance as much, since loosing your teeth at an old age is more natural than if you were younger.

Whether your appearance is affected or not, your life matters so much more so I highly recommend that all root canaled teeth be pulled and cavitated!!! I know that bone loss is a depressing subject, I'm only trying to inform people because they have a right to know everything. Also it is better to be prepared than unprepared when something like this may happen.

Dawn,

I have 11 teeth missing counting the wisdom teeth. Theres a long history that would take a book to explain as to how I not only got bone loss from these teeth that are missing, but also bone loss from the teeth that are still in my mouth.

My immune system was so low from my acidic PH that it mad my saliva acidic and therefore it ate away at the enamal and decayed all the teeth. This caused receeding gums and therefore bone loss from decay forming around the gum line. This was due to mercury amalgam and heavy metal toxicity. I had such a severe case of it that approximately 5-8 dentist refused to work on me.

I had 17 amalgams in my mouth for about 25 years. I also had porcelain crowns on top of most of these amalgams which aren't porcelain at all. Porcelain is really made out of 45% alluminum oxide, also the inside of each crown was lined with nickel . Both of these are highly toxic and leach out into your body just like mercury!!!. I also had 1 gold crown to top it off. A perfect environment to make you very sick through the years and enough disimilar metals to cause electroylysis. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

This was caused from one of my first dentists who was mainly responsible for placing all thoughs toxic metals in my mouth. The 2nd dentist was responsible for not sealing about 8 fillings and 2 crowns. He also did an unfinished root canal and fractured the tooth right beside it causing it to abcess during the same procedure. All the teeth he worked on all turned black in a period of about 2 years. Most of them were in the front. The 3rd bioological dentist got out all the toxic metals safely, but replaced them all with toxic white composites and he also caused excusiatingly painful Lingual and InferiorAlveolar nerve damage.

Dawn, I have a tooth missing on the top, lower, right, left, and 3 in the front, but count it as all of my teeth missing since I have bone loss even where there are teeth!

I'm glad you didn't get as much bone loss as I did. I don't believe that your teeth will get as weak as the dentist said they would. My fiance has 9 teeth missing including the wisdom teeth and has no problem eating crunchy foods. His teeth still feel strong after 8 years too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The way I make sure anyone is right, I research it on google search and various books only by Alternative medicine doctors, dentists, and people. I strongly believe that mainstream medicine is desighned to make you sicker so that they get richer!!! Iv'e been going to mainstream dentists all my life and look where it got me! I will never believe any doctor or dentist even if they claim to be alternative, until I have researched what they say throughly first, and also their reputation as well!!!

Good luck, Dawn!!!
