I have just come from my second visit with the Maxillo Facial Clinic and have been told that they would prefer to take my teeth out one by one ie. when they become loose rather than take the lot to save me having HBO. But I am still confused. This specialist told me that if I had all my teeth removed I would not be able to get dentures, but I understood from another doctor that I could. Any ideas please.
