Hi.
I posted about 8 months back how a dentist saved my life by catching my high blood pressure. Thats when the real fear and worry began and is being cared for now. Ive been without my 4 bottom front teeth for 8 months now going on 9. Its still so super embarrassing and humiliating but ive leaned to deal with it and people who know say i hide it well. After having my 4 teeth extracted and a bone graft i thought it would be done. I was wrong. I needed a 2nd bone graft (because of bone loss due to gum disease) and still another after that. I went in last week dr drilled in my studs/posts for my implants and as i type this i get teared up bc im so happy. In 2 weeks i go to get stitches out and in 3 months the healing shld have taken place then i get my actual teeth!!!!!! Its going to be so bizarre to learn to talk again without this void being here..almist at the end..but if you are terrified/afraid/ apprehensive about going work up that courage and go..have a friend-wife -family member support you and go...its not as bad as you think..its really not..if u can support you in any way let me know...its easier and more pain free than you think.
