I am with you. I am embarrassed to smile. I plan to price the cost of removing my remaining teeth and getting dentures-----the dental work I had done over the years was not particularly good, lots of work, not much in the result dept. (and I think it is highly hereditary as these are my dad's teeth---my mother, brother, my own kids even all had perfect teeth. (my kids still do and they are middle aged)
I don't have a large "nest egg" but I am feeling it would be worth it just to not feel this way anymore. it only gets worse...
