Making a new post since it’s been over a year and BOY have things taken a turn.
Last year (2020), I was convinced that I was done for and doomed to ill fitting dentures forever. The situation with my teeth has deteriorated even further - a few new ones have lost fillings or broken off, including one of my top front teeth (and I swore that when my front/visible teeth started to go, I’d “man up” so to speak and force myself to get them fixed or removed).
Well, on a whim, I contacted the local hospital where I know they have a dental residency program and asked about potentially getting the work done in a hospital setting or all done/fixed at once under sedation, as I know I’d chicken out half way through if I had to go back for numerous individual appointments.
The head of the program wrote back and said that they could help me! As she says in the screenshot located below, their OR times are booked out through October as they’re the only facility like this for several hours, but we can schedule a consultation to get the ball rolling.
I darn near burst out crying. There’s hope, and after the mess of the last year (pandemic included), I needed and was delivered a win. Theres still a long road ahead of us, but all journeys begin with one step.
