Does anyone know of a case where a 92-yr-old w/ dementia got dentures and adapted well?
My mother is pretty healthy, other than moderate dementia. They want to extract her 24 remaining teeth under local anesthesia and fit her with dentures. She can enjoy food now and is not in pain. She does have some worn-out dental work, recently lost a crown) and had an abscess in February. I’m afraid this would cause her to have a downward spiral in both health and morale. She is happy and I want her to stay happy. Any similar experiences (positive or negative) to share? Thank you.
