I suffered from agoraphobia and depression for some yrs and during that time did not look after my teeth as I should have done (all my energy and focus was on looking after my children) as a result of this and chronic dental phobia I was left with a smile an ogre would not have found attractive at 25 yrs old! After 10yrs of living with this I plucked up the courage to try and get it sorted and had all my teeth removed under general anesthetic 4 weeks ago. I am in the process of having dentures made but am finding it all very scary I still don't like having things in my mouth and having the molds are almost unbearable. I don't wish to sound ungrateful as I am so thankfull it has been done and am looking forward to being able to smile again and laugh without covering my mouth but I am worried about how I will cope with them. If anyone has dentures I would really appreciate knowing if you found it easy to live with them talk and eat with them etc.
