My new NHS dentist said that the shadow on the xray she was concerned about was my front tooth root's deteriorated and could fall out at anytime, or need to be taken out if causing problems.
.
2 options ....implant which they
don't do so would have to find a private dentist to do it (I'd go to sons good one) , or they could do a false tooth on a full plate
Wondering at my age if it's worth forking out privately for the implants , and suffering going through all that. (And knowing my luck things won't go straighforward!). Or being a goofy old woman
as I'm gagging with the plate in .
(Had falsies on a full plate for 6 weeks while my bridge was being made years ago, and had to keep running out of the office to take them out as making me gag)
Or option 3 .....walk around in public with a mask on , hiding a bloody great big gap in my mouth.
