I have limited use of my arms/hands, and cannot brush my teeth. My dentist has recommended that my teeth be removed and implants put in, due to severe gum disease. (I am 63, male, diabetic.) He said that would cure the gum disease, but I have read that people with implants can still get bad gum infections if they don't brush.
