Quote (me on Thursday) re; dentist visit, teeth, fear, etc "I am proper scared. If you saw my teeth, you would believe me. Once they are restored to their former glory, or as near as they ever get, I will post a before/after photo of how they are now and . . . blah blah"
HA, well there will be
no "restoration", that was a tad optimistic of me, to say the least. So "as near as they will ever get to their former glory" is, in that case,
now!! They are a million miles away from it. Come on, no, this can't be so.
Another quote, me on Thursday on the same subject "If it means removing the remaining teeth and having false ones, I will be mortified but if
that's what it takes to smile again . . blah blah".
Mortified was an understatement.
If that's what it takes, I might not bother smiling again.
Being my ever-optimistic self I have found
three four positives to the whole shkaboodle
- It's only the top set of teeth (Big Wow Whopee-Doo)
- I will be asleep when all the work is being done (ripping my remaining 6 teeth & 4 severed roots out)
- I only need one more visit to the dentist for the impressions to be made.
- I might have to give up smoking to have a general anaesthetic due to my lungs.
At the minute it all feels like a very bad nightmare. I was so looking forward to looking and smiling like my old self again. This morning I woke up feeling normal(ish) for all of 1/500th of a second before my stomach dropped as reality hit. He cannot/will not fix the remaining teeth and replace the two fronts crowns that I lost yonks ago. He said its not worth it, they wont' last (?) and it will end up this way . . . so let's go for it! Yeah right, I'm gonna end up dead one day too but I don't mind waiting. All very well for him to say. Being the honest twat that I am, I filled in the medical history truthfully including methadone and drug addiction. I hope this didn't go against me. It probably did. Usually does. If anyone reading has or knows someone who has had a good experience with false teeth, please let me know. Only positive things. I don't mean better blow jobs either, that's hardly
me benifitting is it? I know enough of the negative. I started a pros and cons list but got too depressed with the amount of cons. I loathe the idea. I'm gonna post this and start a new post. I can't bear the thought of it. All because I was too scared to go for 12 years. Or because my last dentist went private. O well, it matters not why . . . tis what it is. I can't even type the "D" word let alone say it. I can say false teeth but I will not call it what the dentist called it. Arsehole.
