Teeth, the bane of my existence, I’ve been embarrassed and self conscience about for them about 10yrs now. They are debilitating, they make me miserable every.single.day
It’s one of those taboo topics that I will never discuss the full details of with anyone other than the manpet..not even my mum.
I think I am a shallow person? I try not to be. I assume people judge me based on appearances, that the first thing people notice are my eww teeth. I feel like a hillbilly…or a junkie, but then I guess neither of those are fat
I don’t smilie, and cover my mouth when I laugh, and sometimes when I talk.
Never really had bad teeth when I was younger, had a few fillings but that was about it. I think the large amounts prednisone and asthma medication as a kid are probably the biggest contributing factor.
I can remember the day vividly when it all went to shit. I was 6mths pregnant with Hayden, eating an egg sandwich (my gawd, I think I ate an egg sandwich nearly every day I was pregnant with him) And a filling fell out. It wasn’t painful at all, and I did mean to get it fixed. But first baby, we were moving house, Jake was changing jobs…and I am a habitual putter offerer of things, especially not nice things. I also have a huge, shaking, panic attack inducing phobia of dentists.
You name it, and I have had it. Filling after filling after filling, root canal, teeth taken out in the chair, teeth taken out under GA. Despite many crying and pleading attempts for many a string of dentists to just pull all the bastards out, they all refuse. I guess my super persuasive ways only work on Jake.
Next Friday I have a 4hr date with my new, totes awesome dentist and some IV sedation. This will probably be my biggest bunch of work to date. I would like to think this is going to be my amazing smile make over that I have always dreamed of. But, at best it will get rid of this toothache that I have had for 2mths now, and patch me up a little for a few more years. But I am still going to hate them.
Maybe one day I will win lotto and go on that teeth holiday to Thailand
