I have terrible teeth. I didn't look after them to well either. I've been a shift worker on a completely random schedule for the last 7 years on top of it since I started full time work. A combination of laziness, exhaustion and personal issues and to an extent my teeth bothered me less when I wasn't obsessive with hygiene. The last time I went to a dentist was for root canal treatment on an abscessed tooth. It was a pretty miserable experience and I haven't been able to face going back since. I have several bent teeth at the front one of which is chipped (old injury) and decayed. A cracked upper molar on my left. I've been chewing on the right for years. At Christmas I broke my lower right molar. I don't know if a nerve became exposed but it has been screaming at me over the weekend before suddenly stopping. I also have bits of enamel flaked off in places and what I suspect are two lower impacted wisdom teeth that give grief every now and again and an upper one which has no room AT ALL to come through or to even get at it. I've been eating a softer diet and cut out sugar the last few years to try and make them last but it seems I've reached the end of the line. I can't chew on either side any more my impacted wisdom tooth on the other side has started giving trouble.
I've been looking around online for a dentist to go to. I guess I'm going to have to make some calls in the morning. I need to do something so I can eat properly again but I guess that might be a long way off even if I do start getting treatment. Also have to work out how i'm going to pay for it.
I'm going to need multiple extractions, cleaning at least a dozen fillings and probably a partial top denture.
