Help for MS person who is weak

[weaveroflight]

My teeth have gotten into bad shape over the last several years. I don't have insurance and am home bound due to MS. I have 4 upper teeth that need repair and 3 that have been pulled. I can't sit in a chair for a long time. I would like to go into the hospital and have them pulled. Dentists only want to save them. I would like that too, but my health is not good enough for this. What kind of dentist could help me?

You should probably get a dentist to evaluate your situation and help quarterback the long term treatment plan of your mouth.  If they need to remove teeth, an oral surgeon at a hospital may be the best option although there are general dentists and oral surgeons who are comfortable with treating patients such as yourself in their offices.  Contacting your local dental society may help get you a proper referral.

I would think an oral surgeon, if you plan to do a partial it is best to keep at least two teeth for
anckers on the lower. It is always better to save a tooth if at all possible.
