Hey guys, I’m brand new ?
The reason I’ve joined is because I’m terrified of dentists what’s new, but desperate to finally get my teeth sorted once and for all.
Unfortunately, I took after my father who had the words worst teeth and had them all extracted at the age of 19. However being a girl I’ve always tried to do the very best with my teeth but to be honest it’s a losing battle. I had braces at the age of 15 and then again at 40, I’ve had so many teeth out over the years, and once I had dry socket, probably the worst pain in my life. I’m now 50 and my teeth are as bad as ever and have all moved yet again, my gums are terrible. I also had anaemia for over 30 years, so severe that I had to have iron infusions, and now my gums bleed and are swollen and two teeth are wobbly.
So I’m going to bite the bullet and look into dentures certainly for my top teeth and maybe bottom too. I’m probably going to go private because I need my teeth to look good for once in my life. Has anyone got any tips for me, is there a rough idea how much this may cost. How much time should I take off work, by the way at work I have to talk a lot, on the phones.. thanks for any advice you can give me ? it’s great to be here x
