There is no end to this goal because this is a journey to bring back my smile. I’ve been so self conscious of my smile since the spring of 2021. I had a tooth break. It was one that you would notice when I talk or smile on the side. Since then I’ve been creative with cam and make a fake tooth out of tooth safe stuff don’t worry! So when I stream I wear it so I don’t have to spend the whole time not trying to smile so big. I love smiling but I feel as if a lot of my joy went away because when I wear said tooth I can’t eat of course so I never wear the tooth when I go out. So it’s just for glamour reasons with work. It is what it is but today May 2nd I decided after saving up a little bit of money and needing for years to fix my teeth. I went to a dental urgent care. They have prices that are affordable for those with and without insurance ( which is me). I went in thinking it was just an X-ray and exam to see what going on with my teeth but they wanted to get my 2 broken teeth out asap. ( ones a molar in the back so you can’t see it and the other is the one that broke my smile) So I got them both pulled. Then they told me about what’s going on in my mouth. I didn’t really have insurance when little either so as nice as my teeth look I haven’t seen a dentist for longer than I’d like to admit. I have 3 impacted wisdom teeth that are starting to push my teeth. From basically never having dental insurance I had a lot of cavities, my two broken teeth, 3 impacted wisdom teeth and one tooth that will most likely need a root canal and also a cleaning. And of course what’s gonna break the bank I need an implanted tooth to bring my smile back. I have a little money saved for this but unfortunately it’s going to run out so this goal is to help me afford to fix all this. Thursday I’m getting the 3 wisdoms removed. I’m using a place that is giving me a great deal for being uninsured so I’m glad to be able to afford fixing the bigger Problems but I’m gonna have to find a different place for the rest of stuff which sucks. I’m going to be doing research to find the best deal for me. I have to wait for my extractions to heal anyways but I’m working my way closer which each step. But also I can’t wait to not have to ever worry about smiling. It’s truly the worst thing. When I have been around friends and family I don’t smile big, or laugh a whole lot because I’m so insecure about it and knowing I’m working my way to never feeling that way again feels like hope! So basically all I’m offering you is my smile. But any help with this goal is bringing me closer to being more confident again. Idk how much things are gonna cost after my wisdom teeth get removed. I have been looking up implants and they run between 1-4k but I’m trying to find them of course in the best price range I can. This in fact will be a journey! So thank you to anyone willing to help me with it!
