One of my top teeth (the one next to the two centre front teeth) is becoming looser and looser. Also, two lower front teeth are also loose. I went to see a dental implant specialist yesterday hoping that implants on these teeth might be my best option. Wrong!!! After doing extensive x-rays it turns out I have a lot of bone loss. Dental specialist suggested I would need four lower teeth removed and six upper teeth removed. With the remaining teeth the amount of bone loss is not quite so bad and the teeth might last a while longer but he couldn't give any guarantees. He also said my gums were in very poor condition. I'm an ex-smoker. Gave up the cigarettes 4 years ago.
Dentist reckons there's very little point doing implants as they may fail in a very short time. His recommendation is that I have all my teeth removed and have dentures! That is not what I wanted to hear. He thinks it will give my gums a chance to heal if I wear the dentures for a year and then the situation can be re-assessed.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do about the loss of bone? I've been drinking a cup with apple cider vinegar daily for about 6 months and started taking horsetail capsules about 2 months ago. I started this regime to try to avoid any problems with osteoarthritis in my legs as I age.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried "oil pulling"? Many people say it helps firm teeth. Do you drink your ACV using a straw to protect teeth from its acidity?Replied by Violet (Cerrillos, Nm) on 04/26/2017
The homeopathic cell salt Calc Phos will help when there is any type of bone loss. It will help calcium assimilation.
