    I have slow onset bulbar ALS.  About four years at present.  Speaking is a problem but have minimal choking.  Drooling has become a problem and my lip area has changed shape. Also, I have lately noticed fasciculations there. My question is – has anyone with bulbar problems had DENTAL IMPLANTS.

    I was recently advised to have a pre-molar implant by my dentist and worry that there is so much ‘going on’ in the front of my mouth that the procedure may fail.  Also I am 81 years old.

      Thank  you Dagmar.

      Your two articles have certainly given me some ammunition for my  future visits to my dentist.
