Want to be toothless

I a
72 and since I married my husband when we were both 26, I’ve had a desire to be toothless and a denture wearer as my husband was since he was 17
I’ve asked 2 dentists for a full dental clearance and both refused
I’ve recently had 3 molars removed prior to treatment for osteoporosis and have now only 11 upper teeth including only 1 molar and 13 lower
Teeth . My teeth are not in bad shape and unless I force the issue I fear I will never lose them
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response. I hope that you receive effective treatment for your osteoporosis. It's a shame that people can't control their own bodies, especially when it comes to their teeth. I'd appreciate it if you keep me posted on your condition and your goal to have your teeth extracted. I'm with you all the way. 😄

@Corsair thank you I’ll keep you posted
In October I’m due for a second annual infusion
I’m hoping that on this window 6 months between infusions I can have the extractions done
Thanks for caring 😊

@Wannabetoothless I'll keep you in my prayers, if that's okay.

I can understand why dentists want to save the teeth of young people, like around 25, but for older people (I'm not calling you old, but just taking your word that you are a senior citizen like me) I think that some deference should be paid for our desires to have our teeth pulled. It was a battle with my dentist, but he finally agreed to pull my upper teeth and 10 lower ones and make me a full upper and a lower partial. Keep the toothless goal in mind and concentrate on getting better after your infusion.

Take care,my friend.

@Wannabetoothless I f I may ask, was the fact that your husband had dentures when you married a factor, one way or another, in your relationship? My wife wouldn't have had anything to do with me, if I had dentures when we first met. Of course, I was 27 and she was 20 at the time. When I got my dentures I was 58, and she has accepted me, although she mainly tolerates me when I have my teeth out. Like you, I had wanted to be toothless and have dentures long before that.

I assume that your husband will not be against your becoming toothless. Will it actually enhance your relationship, if you are both toothless? I think that I would have been attracted to a woman who had dentures, if she was open about it and not afraid/ashamed to show herself without her teeth.

If you don't want to answer this, I'll understand. However this site seems to invite a certain amount of openness about our feelings regarding toothlessness and dentures, so I thought that I would ask you.

Take care, and be healthy, my friend.
