Q: Can Anyone Help?

My daughter (now 13) has no adult teeth. She still has her baby teeth. She wears overdentures on her top teeth and has done since she was eight, as her baby teeth are really tiny. Alot of them now are receeding into her gum. She has the choice of continuing with dentures or having implants when she stops growing.
Is there anyone out there with the same condition or has heard of someone with the same condition

Wow!
I have never heard of this but I am sure there are a few people out there that have it! However what has her dentist said? Why not get a full denture set? My aunt has had dentures her whole life! Since the age of 11. Qo rather than make a big deal out of it and freak out just get them taken out ald have a set of dentures put in/ I know I would for your daughters sake! How bad that must be! I am sorry you and her have to go through this!! Crying or Very sad

I hope it's not too late!!Please-do not have your daughter's remaining teeth removed!!The teeth that are in place will preserve precious bone that is essential to being an imlpant candidate!!Get her to an oral surgeon asap and they will know what to do.Dental implants have made tremendous improvements over the last several years.I know it will be a significant investment financially,but it will be well worth it!!I wish you both good luck.
