TOOTHPIX

Gross, Disgusting and Totally Awesome Photos of: Meth Mouths,  Neglect of Oral Hygiene and A Few Cases of Injury to Spice Things Up! Unfortunately, these are the types of cases dentists see virtually every day.




See Ya!

The above case is beyond repair and the patient would be advised to have the natural teeth removed and replaced with prosthetics.


  


Too Late

This situation is hopeless. The remaining tooth would be removed and replace with either an Implant, a Fixed Partial Denture or a Removable Partial Denture.






 

This is a start over.

Similar to the other cases, it's time to eliminate the sick teeth and work toward replacements.


Trauma

A most unfortunate accident; the teeth are savable and the long term prognosis is excellent. But...try to avoid this kind of thing...please!






A Classic Meth Mouth

The use of Crystal Meth has waned recently but these cases continue to show up in offices. Discontinuing Meth  doesn't make the ravages of destruction go away, so the teeth slowly continue to deteriorate. You can  see a dentist now or see a dentist later but don't wait until it hurts!
