So, after neglecting my oral care for so long, last year, I started my journey of sorting my teeth out.
Mainly making this post to just learn others' experiences, any advice on what to expect, etc
I was honestly expecting worse news from my dentist than what I'm currently going through, which was a relief 🫠 I was saying to myself, all out full dentures 🙃
As of today, I have had 8 teeth extracted
7 fillings all in
This has been from various appointments since April last year
1st May, Front 4 top teeth came out due to decay, bone grafting was done, stitched up, and now have an immediate denture/flipper
The plan is then to do implants to replace the 4 front teeth,
I'll be asking my dentist when I next see them more about it, but I thought, why not post.
I thought I'd have felt worse seeing my front four teeth gone, mentally it is taxing and has been very emotional seeing the gradual improvements, its been both positive and negative with how ive felt at times..
Although I think part of me has accepted it as a what needs to happen situation and im just getting on with it.
Any advice on the immediate denture / flipper would be very much appreciated from speaking, eating, and especially removal and placement.
I know part of me is more than likely just overthinking everything 🙃
What can I expect from the implant side of things when I get there? The typical fear of the dentists isn't with me. Whenever I go to my dentists, I feel relaxed if that makes any sense 😂
Being in my late 20s, I certainly have the regret of not looking after my teeth, but the main thing is I'm on the path of sorting them out and I would call the implant part as almost there
Jsut any experiences, tips, tricks or advice would be massively appreciated.
