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

My buddy on his 18th birthday had all his teeth pulled and went to full dentures. He used to drink like 4 or 5 what was then called super big gulps from 711 of Coke a day those were like 40 ounces.
I had pretty bad dental hygiene myself and the wife and I used to drink cases of Pepsi a week and my teeth also got real messed up from the drugs I used to take years ago. Ive been clean 25 years now though.
The wife and I quit drinking pop about 5 or more years ago and that was the best thing I have ever done. I have had like 4 or 5 teeth pulled before I quit drinking pop. I was kind of lucky that it was my molars that went bad so no false teeth yet lol.
I still don't brush my teeth everyday like I should but getting soda out of my life was one of the best things I have ever done.
I really hope the best for you cause I have been there and I would not wish that on anyone.
