Re: Teeth
Hi!
You go girl! I have always had very poor teeth, in 1970 a dentist told me I needed them all out and dentures. I chose to ignore him. In 72 after our first was born, I was accepted at the Dental School and had my teeth filled, root canals etc, all for the price of the materials! Their work last for over 20 years!
Slowly over the last few years my teeth are falling by the way. I have a partial denture, otherwise all I would need is a wart on my nose and I could scare the hell out of everyone!!!! lol!
The dentists can do a "re-line" which is not as expensive as a new set of dentures should your gums shrink etc. I have been on a diet this year and have lost so much weight I needed to get my denture re lined as it just wobbled around in my mouth!
You will have to adapt the way you eat some things, like an apple, you can't bite into it, slice it and then eat.
But you are doing the right thing! I know how demoralising it is not to have decent looking teeth and you develop a great reluctance to smile let alone laugh!!
In addition to dentists we have dental technicians that the public can go to directly for re lines/repairs and that works out a lot cheaper than getting the dentist to send dentures to the technician. Might be worth inquiring about down the track!
Good Luck!
