Julie replied to Rebecca McClaskey's discussion 'One petrified newbie, coming up...'

Hey, Rebecca. I was where you're at right now. The best advice I can give you is to find a dentist that specializes in dentures. If all they do is dentures, they won't waste your time giving you that stupid guilt trip about "saving" your teeth. I've…

Julie replied to CrazyMarie's discussion 'Does everyone sleep "in"?'

I take my teeth out right after work! S.O. likes me toothless, so I really only wear them at work. They fit fine, but I'm always glad to take them out. Julie

OK let's just look at this from the standpoint of common sense. Have you known anyone with bad teeth that got better over time? Have you known anyone with expensive dental work that looked better ten years later than it looked when they got it? Do d…

It's not uncommon for dentist to use scare tactics to to get thousands of dollars from you. There is no way to know that in the future you still keep those fixed temps. I know there is significant bone loss with extractions, but not everyone losses…

No, and I am surprised that a dentist with any education behind him would pull good teeth! Having your teeth removed at such a young age can pose a great many problems for you later in life. Bone loss is a huge problem for many people after they hav…

Julie replied to Judi's discussion 'Another Newbie - Me, Me, Me... OMG I'm posting..'

Hi, Judi. I'm in my 20's and I have a full set. I didn't have the thousands of dollars to spend on the root canals that would have saved my teeth, so I went ahead and had them all pulled last December. I'm SO glad I had it done! No more toothaches o…

I will be 24 soon and I am having a full upper denture done. I am not sure how I will adjust and I am having a problem because there's no turning back once it's done. I hope everything goes well for you!

I am getting ready to have another dental surgery so that they can get my bone even on the bottom so I can wear my bottom teeth as well. Right now I can only wear my top ones. Kinda sucks....haven't had a chance to get used to a full set of teeth yet. You read horror stories about getting dentures, but it is not as bad as it seems like. I was very scared....there was a little bit of pain and I'm still healing but no one recognizes me anymore :) Since my hubby left for Iraq last December, (he will be coming home in March) I have lost 50 lbs., changed my hair from brown to black and red, and got a wonderful new smile :) So when he comes home in March he will be coming home to a new wife lol :) I am here for whatever questions you might have or even just for support :) I know it's tough, but it's soooo worth it in the long run!!!
