We miss that and Dan misses it a lot. Dan loves eating.
When Dan was young he ate very fast but, with so few teeth now his chewing seems to take forever. He misses being able to chew steak and lightly steamed broccoli.

Yeah, I was on the same wants. The dentist told me though that it’s better to save the bottoms because lower dentures click and pop around because they have nothing to grab to while the top has the palate.
So we are rebuilding our lowers and has 2 tooth’s left to pull on top.
Entire procedure is about $2700.00, and we applied for a health credit card Care Credit to help payments. If paid off in 18 months, no interests charged. That’s like $130.00 a month.
Of course, she said if I did implants, I’d have to have 6 lower implants to bridge on, costs $35,000.00. Okay...let me start saving today...get back to ya when I’m half past dead! Lol.
Care Credit can be used on participating providers, prescriptions, and even vets. Cleo our Chi needs oral surgery at $500.00 next month.
I wonder though if I can see a therapist? Gotta check it out.
