My whole mouth was a mess, and we're still not done. I started with him about 3 years ago, and we're working HARD at getting these things repaired. Seems like we work on one, and another goes bad in the interim. I wish I could have dentures, but i can't. I have a weird upper roof of the mouth -- it's not flat. It's rounded down towards the tongue, so I can't have dentures. I can't remember what that's called, --- the dentist said I could have it SHAVED DOWN, but are you KIDDING ME?? Shave the roof of my mouth down??? No, I don't think so.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to gum all my food. LOL
