How can I persuade my mom, who doesn't trust the hospital, to get an implant treatment?

My mother is 79 years old~~ She couldn't receive postpartum care because she had four children, and she has been living in financial hardship, so she has hardly been able to receive this care.

Currently, all four teeth are missing, and you are just going about your day without treatment;;;;

Above all, the biggest issue is that you refuse to get implants no matter how much I try to persuade you.

It's not that you never went to the dentist at all; you had treatments like cavity fillings and crowns. The main reason why hospitals and my mother don't get along is because every place she went to left her with negative trauma due to over-treatment or incorrect treatments.

Some people have had their cavities left untreated until they could no longer be treated and had to be extracted, while others have very poor gums, causing their teeth to become loose and fall out on their own, and there are also cases where a tooth has been missing for ten years now.

Recently, one of my teeth was so weak that it kept breaking on its own, and now there is only bone left inside the gum. An infection developed there, causing my face to swell like a patient with a facial swelling, but I still didn't go to the hospital;;;

You say it doesn't hurt, but you've swollen before and just recovered;; I don't mind if it looks uncomfortable and unsightly, but I really wish it wouldn't hurt, it really tears me apart inside.

Because of poor teeth, you can't eat well and your digestion is also impaired, and even though you're warned that this can lead to early dementia, you don't listen at all;;;;

When I was young, my grandmother couldn't eat apples, so she would scrape them with a spoon, and these days, my mom is in the same situation.

I have to somehow unite and persuade all the brothers.

My concern is that it's been a long time since I last checked, with three on the right and one on the left.

Even if you want to get an implant, your gums need to support it to be stable, but your gum condition is quite poor...

Without a cavity, the pain is severe, and bleeding easily occurs while brushing.

Is it more difficult to get an implant for a tooth that has been missing for a long time??? I'm worried whether it's a big problem to place a bridge and an implant even if the gums are weak.

 

 

 

My mom's tooth now has a crown in the middle, the back tooth is missing, and the front tooth is just bone left inside... Seeing the tooth crumble like that on its own, it seems really serious. I think they need to remove the bone and do an implant... The middle tooth isn't even my own tooth, it's a crown;;;

There is also one tooth missing below... I heard that implants are not usually done all at once, but since it's difficult for this person to visit the hospital even once, going multiple times each time they do one implant isn't easy. I'm curious about how many visits are needed and how long it takes to get one implant done.

And my mother does not have diabetes, but she is taking medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Will there be any problems with getting an implant???

Recently, I heard that the out-of-pocket cost for up to two dental implants for seniors aged 64 and older has significantly decreased.

But I worry unnecessarily, so if I say I want an implant covered by insurance, the hospital won't do anything bad, right? These days, I have all sorts of worries.

So, if we choose the implant method and apply to the National Health Insurance Service, they support a certain percentage of the hospital expenses;;; I haven't figured out the details yet~~~

If anyone has applied for implant support for elderly people, I would appreciate it if you could share the information~~~

Oh, and finally;;;; Actually, implants are a priority right now... but overall, your teeth are in such poor condition... the treatment seems really difficult, and I'm also considering partial dentures...

Dentures also need healthy gums, or else they become too painful to use; some people say they can't wear them at all. My worries are piling up, and my wrinkles are deepening because of my stubborn mother who doesn't listen.
