Timing is important so make sure you check out HBO before you find the dentist. It will take arouond 2 months for the whole porcess. If your teeth are loose and bothering you, remember its a long process before they will be taken out.
My doc's are making me wait a minimum of 6 months before I can get fitted for dentures. Then a few more weeks til I finally can get them. Im hoping to have the dentures early next year at the latest.
Are you able to eat ok? I could barely eat due to the loose teeth. Hope yours arent that bad yet.
