Evening Reading

So I know the jokes will rain down on me here but I wanted to make a post regarding taking care of your teeth. I'm HOPING that most people here already do and it's not an issue but if you're like me in my early to mid 20's, I didn't have insurance and it became an issue. I just simply couldn't afford to have the stuff done I needed to without insurance. And by the time I had decent insurance, it was really too late.

So last week I finished up having to have a full upper and a partial lower denture put in. It sucks ass right now because there's no more of a helpless feeling that not having something in/on your body that you've had your entire life. Definitely a period of mild depression while I get used to not having my original teeth as well as having an indestructible set now. I can't tell you how much pain I had to go through not only during this process, but the pain that ultimately led me to get all of this work done. In total, I had 26 extractions leaving me with 6 lower teeth of my own that the partial clamps on too.

Don't take that shit for granted like I did. I will eventually get used to everything and be able to eat normal shit again, but right now i'm stuck with softer foods that don't hurt to chew. Thankfully I got the stuff done now or I could have died from the infections that I was getting from shitty teeth.

I know that is rambling, but I figured I would share. :)
