Thank you so much Music Man for your fast reply. I am anxious to get started and plan to go purchase these items immediately. (Praying to God I see some results!). Was planning on trying coconut oil (because it taste good) or oil of oregano (because I read on this forum it was the strongest). But if you say sesame and sunflower oils are the best, I'll take your advise.

Two more questions:

1. Where do I find these items? I'm thinking either a health food store or Whole Foods?

2. What are the chances that OP will work for me considering that I won't really be able to PULL the oil through my teeth? (My crowns are all connected and there is no space either between the teeth or between the teeth and gums. I haven't been able to use dental floss since I had the attached crowns put on, which is very possibly what caused the problem in the first place).

Anyway, thank you again, Music Man, for taking the time to answer my questions.

The most common causes are:
• Gum disease
o Gum Disease is the major cause of loose teeth.
o The gums and supporting bone are destroyed.
o Loose teeth and receding gums are a symptom of gum disease.
• Malocclusion
o Teeth meeting the wrong way during chewing.
o Extra stress is put on the teeth that come together before all the other teeth meet. This causes the surrounding bone to thin. It is then not able to hold the tooth firmly in place.
• Bruxism or the habitual grinding or clenching of teeth.
• Trauma to teeth during sporting or other accidents.

So his solution was fitting your whole mouth with brand new connecting crowns rather than orthodontics? It boggles the mind!

MrCuddly, you have no idea the hell this dentist put me through. I told him I couldn't afford the whole mouth reconstruction, so he came up with a more affordable solution. Less expensive crowns that looked decent for $10,000, then I could replace one crown at a time with porcelain crowns as I could afford it. Well, the less expensive crowns turned out to be Biotemps and, as the name implies, they are meant to be temporary. They started breaking immediately, leaving my tooth stubs exposed. And, since they were all attached, there was no way to just replace one at a time as I could afford it.

I ended up going to another dentist, who replaced all the Biotemps with new temporaries. Then, everytime I saved up $5000, I would go see him and have a section of the new temporaries replaced with porcelain. Spent $10,000 for front top and bottom, and another $10,000 for right top and bottom. Then the recession hit, and I haven't had $10,000 to complete the left top and bottom. In the meantime, the temporaries have broken on those teeth, leaving just exposed stubs on my left back top and bottom teeth. It's disgusting.

Sad thing is, these teeth will now probably need to be pulled and I'll have to get implants w/crowns. Who knows when I'll ever be able to afford that! Also, even the porcelain crowns had to be attached to be strong enough to support my bite. So something goes wrong with one tooth, the whole bunch needs to be replaced. My mouth is one big expensive disaster!

On the bright side, it did fix my bite and I don't grind my teeth anymore!
