Hi there,
I'm Mweekie, aka Julia. I am turning 30 in July, so next month is going to be an interesting one for me.
I've come on here so I can talk about my fears about my rather major upcoming procedure.
I am having all my remaining teeth removed under general anaesthetic at some point in July, but I have my first hospital consultation on the 1st July. After a couple of months, hopefully my gums will have healed enough so I can get a full set of dentures.
But it's the operation and dealing with the couple of months without teeth that is petrifying me the most!
My dentist has said that the operation and dentures is the best thing for me as my teeth are completely irreparable and I have agreed to have the operation done...but I am really worried about what my colleagues at my workplace will think, and also the general public, like when I go shopping and stuff.
Thankfully, my family and 2 very close friends of mine are fully supporting me through this. My close friend...let's call him L for now...already has partial dentures himself and has been advising me on what to do when the time comes for me to start using my dentures, but I am still as scared as hell about it.
I have been looking online for advice, but thought I would join this forum so I could get more of it...please?!
