Decided. You gotta take care of you

My mouth is a mess. Theres a big gap between my molars. Chewing probably improperly for years. Will needs veneers to lengthen my front teeth so it looks normal. So I don't look weird. Mouth rebuild. Taking out a loan. I cannot live like this with plastic in my mouth.

I want to chew, smile, like a normal person. My family does not support me and are yelling at me like I'm an idiot. No mattwr how I try to explain MY JAW POPPED OUT OF THE SOCKET. My nut sister told me I just need a pillow.

I couldn't imagine telling another human how to handle their medical care. I'm not sharing im getting it fixed. I will be pilloried.

having good, working teeth is truly wonderful.. I'm down to nine in the front, and most of the bottoms. they work and don't look too bad. Still got my smile and can chew.. for now. good luck.

And I was pretty scared also. All of my blood work came back negative which is good but it doesn't explain the health problems I have been having so,,,, have to go back soon. It's ok to be scared, I was, I am, but at least you are on the right track to get better. Give yourself a pat on the back for that and keep on keeponing!.
