Shared on Mon, 07/09/2007 - 13:41Got a call from my dentist today.
After examining all my x-rays and the impressions he took, he feels the best thing I could do, at this point, is get Implant-Supported dentures.
I admit, I've long neglected my teeth. The neglect is a byproduct, if you will, of nearly 15 years of orthodontics work which ultimately failed at straightening my teeth. I was tired of fiddling with them and having them fiddled with, so now I'm paying the price. On the plus side, I'll finally have straight teeth (which I've never had in my life), I'll be able to smile (which, honestly, I haven't done in nearly 15 years due to being self-conscious), and I should feel better.
However, I'm really nervous facing down the fact that I'm 30 years old and am going to have to have all my existing teeth yanked out of my skull.
We have to do what we have to do, I suppose.
