Case Description
A friend of mine is 36 and having teeth problems. She keeps getting infections. The infected teeth are leading to sinus infections. After several crowns and some fillings her dentist has told her there is nothing he can do except remove the teeth. The reason for this is he says she has soft teeth and some of the medication she takes reduces her saliva production. She is afraid to have them removed because she can not afford the dentures. Is there possible a way to save the teeth, or is the a low cost denture program.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
