I've been to the dentist today and he's told me that I'm going to need to have my two upper front teeth taken out, and probably one next to them as well.

Basically they've been dead for 30 years and have been crowned. I had an infection in the roots of them about 15 years ago and had to have an operation to remove the apex if the roots.
I've had the infection come back recently and it's not responded to anti-biotics. I've persuaded him to give me more anti-biotics, but he says they won't work.

So, I've now got to consider my options

1) Be front toothless - Free
2) Wear a denture - About £100
3) Have a bridge - About £500
4) Have implants - About £3600

I know that this is a miniscule problem compared with a lot of peoples problems, but I'm thoroughly p***ed off about it.
