A woman has to wear dentures in her 20s after she had to have all her teeth removed because of ‘botched’ root canal treatment.
Alex, from Pennsylvania, US, elected to get a root canal treatment and crowns on the majority of her remaining teeth but was left with severe infections. ‘The cavities got worse and the dentist discovered I had short roots during the time I had braces meaning my teeth were getting extremely loose and breaking.
‘I had problems from day one of doing that – he didn’t do the work properly and it was done too quickly so everything started to fail and before I knew it, I was having infection after infection. Alex says a lot of people have judged her for her teeth problems as they assume it’s because she hasn’t looked after them properly.‘My grandmother had dentures at the same age as me and my mum is constantly struggling with her teeth,’ she said.
She added: ‘When the dentist first told me that was an option, I was shocked and sat on the decision for a year before going ahead with it.‘Dental implants would have set me back $35,000 for just the top and I couldn’t afford it.She said her dentures look very realistic and no one guesses she has them until she tells them.
