All teeth pulled very last option!!! Hubbys teeth were bad. Got tired of spending money on them. Against his dentist/trusted friends warning! Do no get them all pulled and get dentures, youll hate them!! He did anyway and hates them!! $7000. Plus and wont stay in, cant chew, cant taste, lost 30 lbs. , dont fit right. Feel,huge and wierd. Says worst decision he ever made. Get a few estimates and ask alot of question and think hard! Be careful. I think made PD/life worse. Wish someone had warned him.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Can't something be done to make them fit better? That is such a shame and dangerous to his health especially if he lost 30 Lbs already. Can he see some other dentist or dental clinic at a hospital for
an eval if anything can be done to help him.

My mother had this issue for other reasons not PD. If you can find a dental college they will do the work free or low-cost
