Had to get a tooth removed. Really upset tbh. I've spent about $17k to get them somewhat fixed and I feel like I'm in a losing battle.
This time I pretty much can't eat properly or smile until I get my denture in 6 weeks.
This is the price of absolute stupidity.
So much work and effort to get where I am and I haven't been able to smile in almost a decade. It has absolutely wreaked havoc on my confidence.
Fucking hell.
You've come a long way, friend!
Sometimes the scars of our journey are invisible, and sometimes they're not, but it says a lot about you that you've overcome such hardship and are now in a position to look after your health!
We don't always come out the other side unscathed, but you are doing fantastic! I'm proud of you!
Besides, you have a great smile! 💜
You care way more about this than anyone around you cares about this. Legit no ones looking at your teeth. If you wanna get it fixed for you then thats great, but dont let it harm your confidence.
It happens to the best of us. It could have just as easily happened anyway for purely genetic reasons, an accidental knock, or being unable to access care.
What matters is you’re taking care of yourself now
Life happens. Lots of people have a missing tooth for various reasons, either from accidents, decay/weak teeth, lack of fluoride as kids etc. You wouldn’t know it though, because modern dentistry can make the replacement look so natural. I know someone with a false tooth due to lost it as a teen from a bad bike fall. Even if your reasons are different, it doesn’t matter. It’s natural to be upset, but also remember you’re doing so well now and looking after yourself! Hope you feel better soon!
You're a lovely man even when you're not smiling, and you've come SO far since the "stupidity" you're now paying for.
Chin up, hey? You're going to outlast it
