I really hope they can get you in you might have to find another dentist if your normal one does not work out for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers I really hope things go good for you.

Thank you so much! My teeth are in bad shape from years of purging (have an eating disorder). I also used to drink a lot of soda for many years (not diet, the kind with tons of sugar in it), which is acidic. Now for many years I've switched to drinking a lot of black coffee, also acidic. Plus sometimes when I go through a severe depressive episode my dental hygiene isn't the best. My teeth are a mess and I'm only 27 years old. I'm so self conscious about them. I wish I could afford to get them all removed and implants put in but that will never happen.
I saw a video circulating on Facebook recently that had a young woman in it who had dentures, anyway, she was doing videos to try to remove the stigma associated with it if you for some reason end up having to get them. It made me feel a little better because I have always been scared of losing my teeth. I have all of them, I only have had to have one removed because my insurance wouldn't cover the root canal for it. I really am upset with myself though for all the damage I've caused to them over the years. I hope I don't have to get any more pulled but if I do I guess it's not the end of the world. It's my fault
