How to get my teeth fixed
It made me
freaking ecstatic!
 "Quick and relatively painless, I wish I had done this YEARS ago!"
How I did it: I have panic disorder with agoraphobia, with the dentist being one of my worst phobias ever...to the point, that for the consulation I needed an ativan just to stand it. I had at least 8 cavities, needed a serious deep cleaning, and had to have a tooth removed. It was decided I would be put out so everything could be done in one shot. I just went this morning, and they were SO incredibly nice!!! I took 1mg of ativan at 1am, and then another around 8:30am for my appointment at 10:40am. I was scared but no panic attacks. They put in the I.V. and then I don't really remember much after. There was a part or two where I was awake, I asked what the tube in my nose was, and they told me it was oxygen. I said, "ohh" then blanked out again and I remember saying, "are we finished?" and the nurse smiling saying, "yep, all done!" They slowly sat the chair up in increments, until I was fully sitting up. Then they got me to swing my feet over. I was able to walk to the wheelchair, and the nurse came out with us to help me to the car. Lessons & tips: Definitely listen to the fasting rules they give you, you may be starving, but then you don't have to deal with feeling sick when you get up. Cold packs on the cheeks take away a lot of the pain, and be ready to stay in bed doing nothing. |

How I did it: Well, I got tired of hiding my mouth when I smiled or laughed, so I finally got the guts to call a dental surgeon and go to my regular dentist. My regular dentist took care of any cavities that were present, then the dental surgeon pulled a badly decayed tooth and screwed in 7 mini-dental implants in all the holes of my upper jaw. Went back to my regular dentist for one more checkup and an in-office Zoom whitening before the s… Read how I did it…
How I did it: quit worrying and did it, was much less stressful / painful thani imagined. having to write so much about how i did this is somewhat pointless...but what everfirst - i called my benefits provider to see how much i was covered forsecond - i set up an appointment at a dentist officethen - after x-rays she told me i had 21 cavitiesnext - i set up an appointment to start getting my teeth fixedlater - i got the big nasty filling donea week lat… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I literally had the worst set of teeth during my childhood..so bad..that my first orthodontist visit...the doctor LAUGHED at me when he asked me to "smile"i told my dad "i'm not going here!"so..luckily..we went to Apple Orthodontix...where my orthodontist was this hot Scottish guy with pretty green eyes.. :Dbut the point is:Even he told me that my teeth were probably one of the most complicated sets of teeth he's seen..I had to go through… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Insurance covers veneers in some cases. In my case, I could get my 2 front teeth replaced. And they match the rest of my teeth. Read how I did it…
How I did it: For years, I had bad teeth pulled as they went bad. Finally, my family and I had enough money to have the rest removed and replaced with teeth that can't abscess, break, rot out, et cetera. Read how I did it…
Well, I got everything fixed that my dentist told me was wrong, then he told me I have 7 more cavities. I think he is full of crap, I have never flossed more in my whole life.
I am going to find a new dentist.
I don’t remember ever smiling without being aware of my teeth. I’ve always been self-concious about them because they’re not exactly the “soap operar” teeth I would like to have. When I was little, I had to take a lot of medication that made me teeth a little dark. They’re not nearly as white as I would like them to be. I also had a route canal several years ago that resulted in a lost tooth. I have a space that I would like to have a bridge built for. I would ultimately like to have veneers, as well.

Now I regret it. I should have kept on with this goal. though damit, it would have been hard to get my head around financially back then.
I am so glad I had bought my travel ticket because I think i would have dropped that goal too if I hadn’t been so committed – because the turn of events that brought me unstuck for a few months.

As is, I’m trying to take out a credit card.
(only for the dentistry)
So I can go ahead and take care of as much work as possible in the shortest time possible.
I want to have a wonderful smile for my wedding in October.
I have four to five that need to be flat out removed.
I have countless cavities.
My molars need to be removed.
I guess I need braces or invisalign.
I had a tooth removed when I was younger, and it was never bridged, so I have to fix that mess.
It’s going to require a LOT of oral surgery, and a LOT of money.
But I feel like it will be worth it in the end.
Over the past few years I had three teeth pulled now… as Iam getting older my teeth are spreading. I hate my smile… I no longer like taking pictures, and I am very self conscious. looking to get cosmetic dentistry or something sometime within 2009.
So I have not been able to go to a dentist since I was in High School. I know I have at least one cavity, or one tooth that hurts from time to time. I really need to check it out, but I am almost embarrassed to go after so many years. I mean I know it was not my fault I could not afford it, but I don’t want the dentist to judge me.

My dental implants are healing, had an in-office whitening and got my porcelain crowns. Success is blissfull!
I would like to get my wisdoms pulled (cuz they hurt), I’d like to get braces as well. After that, it’d be nice to get them cleaned and whitened. Also thought about getting some sharper fangs lol…possibly. However, this goal as well as some others is sitting on the side lines. I just can’t afford it right now.
