Well Kitty, you’ll have seen my photo in this thread where I had perfect teeth, but it all went wrong, and for the first time I’m going to be truly honest. Despite my forum personna, this problem has driven me to severe depression, and that’s why I truly do have to have it sorted.
My dentist is aware of that as well. I’ve been lucky never to have had a denture and only one extraction to this age. My mum was about 36 when she had all her teeth out at once and she went around without for a good while. As a child, it scared me to death, as only OLD people had no teeth.
Mollie, is it this Friday that you have your appointment with your Dentist? If so I’d like to wish you good luck, please be brave and and keep the appointment this time … you’ll be pleased you did in the long run.
I too am beginning to have problems with my teeth. Bone structure is wearing down. Recently, I have been paying regular visits to the dentist for dental, gum treatment. No other choice. Good luck Mollie.
It really is awful, isn’t it, GY. (Can’t call you Jimbo 'cos we have another Jimbo on here :-D).
I don’t expect you’ll have read the whole topic because it is a long one, but my problem started with a gum infection, and nothing to do with my teeth.
Ah well, all I really want to be able to do is eat properly again, as I’m having a lot of trouble doing that now.
My only wish is that I had somebody to go with me on Friday.
