Suggest Treatment For Decayed Or Broken Teeth

Hi Doc,
My name is Nitin. I am a 27 year old male. I have some serious problems with my teeth and I need some advice, I have only 14 teeth in my lower jaw and 13 in the upper one. Almost all these teeth are either broken or decayed. Could you please give me a suggestion of what can be done to get back my smile?

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that many of your teeth are missing and now the rest are decaued or broken, it looks that you might be having a defect in enamel of dentin of the tooth, these are the component of tooth structure.
In this case just treating the decayed teeth is not the solution, you have to get an OPG done of your jaw, which will show the cause of this, then get the rest teeth restored with topical flouride application on the teeth and then at the end get a full mouth rehabilitation, means get crowns on the remaining teeth.
Hope it will help you.
