Hi everyone,
I am 20 years old, and recently a few of my teeth got knocked out when boxing. However, I have always had bad teeth. I haven't looked after them so they were badly broken down and decayed. I felt very ashamed, and didn't talk to anyone about it. I was very limited in the food that I ate.
With the support of my partner, I managed to pluck up the courage to go to a dentist. They were excellent. They put me on an anxiety program and everything was great. The dentist confirmed what i thought, and said i'd need dentures.
I had all 28 of my teeth removed 4 days ago and immediate dentures fitted. The swelling is very bad, and I can only eat soup. The denture doesn't look very good either.. quite gummy if that makes sense, and very bloody.
I'm very nervous about leaving the house, and just wondering if anyone could give me some support?
Many thanks. X
