The roots on my front 4 teeth are very short (I believe the term they used was Root Burn) and I was told I also have the possiblitiy of losing them. They sure do make eating hard, since they are so loose they hurt to bite into anything. I just had surgery on Oct 22nd and my front 4 teeth are still there.. painful, but there nonetheless. My plan is to keep them as long as possible, and then have them replaced hopefully after I recover from this other surgery. I know that doesn't help much.. but i wish you the best of luck with your decision! Lea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
