When I had to have most if my lower teeth removed, my dentist sent me to the hospital for the extraction (I had other complications as well as diabetes). Before the extractions my dentist explained to me that because of my diabetes, the healing process could be longer than usual and that although she outlined my options she made it very clear that we couldn't make a final decision until I was completely healed. She suggested that I had NHS dentures for the first year to allow complete healing of the gums and to ensure that no further problems developed before I spent shed loads of money on my 'final' teeth. I would consider her a good dentist! As it happens it took three months before I healed properly due to infection, and I didn't get on with the NHS dentures as they were too hard in my Diabetic gums. Ended up with the private dentures after six months and they are fantastic!!I suppose I'm saying I agree with [USER=43498]@CatLadyNZ[/USER] , sounds like you might need a second opinion. Good luck hun, I know exactly what your going through. Sue xxxxx</blockquote>
