My mom has partial top and bottom. No bone especially in top so her teeth are loose. She has only 1 tooth top & bottom holding partial. Bottom one is loose and rotting cause she won’t brush them, but claims she does. Top one broke off. She flat refuses to use any adhesive! I put it on she yanks them out and washes it off. So now she can’t eat and she is constantly chewing her teeth which drives me up a wall! She’s been doing it with bottom teeth all along. How do I get her to use the adhesive? Is any kind better than another?
The thing is. If a denture fits properly it shouldn't need adhesive; therefore if it does need it, it's not the right fit. And if these partials have nothing secure to hold on to...
How do you feel about attempting to get her to a dentist? For a complete (and yikes expensive) overhaul?
