Hi, I’m here again,asking for experience and any advice. My mum has vascular dementia and is in care home
Mum has lost a tooth and has a loose tooth.
My sister has taken mum to dentist and they have advised removal of 2-3 teeth. Mum will need a new palate. Old one was lost and was loose anyway
Has anyone had experience of their loved one having teeth removed. How did they cope?
Were they able to manage getting the new palate fitting done? Did they wear it after?
My mum would never want to have her teeth removed so I am unsure whether to go ahead. Worried about the distress it would cause her but need to balance it with the worry of infection if we don’t.
Thank you
