just give me dentures and let's get it over with!!

my teeth are horrible, have been since I was a kid.  I brush/floss twice a day and still, always cavities and now my teeth are actually BREAKING because I grind at night apparently.  A back tooth broke over the weekend and it's a sharp point and has cut my tongue.  So now I have to go get it filed down.  I don't have dental insurance so I can't afford to get it fixed right now.  It sucks so bad and is so depressing because there's nothing I can do.  At the rate I'm going, I'll have dentures in the next few years.  And I gotta say, it'd be a relief not to have to deal with this anymore!

P.S.  It's genetic, the dental problems.  My niece had a double root canal by age 4.  My uncle had dentures at 25.  Hopefully E has inherited James' teeth!

  • I had a friend like you and she was always at the dentist's office. Try and get a sports mouth guard to sleep in for the time being. My mom grinds her teeth too so she has to sleep with a guard. I'm sorry you're having to go through this, there's nothing that's not sucky about it.

  • Ouch!  I have teeth issues too.  And it sucks.  I hope all my kids get Mr. Shoe's teeth.  Yours sounds worse though.  I hope you get it all sorted out soon!

  • I completely understand...I'm still paying off the dental bills I accrued last year. It sucks! :(

    Edit: I used to drink soda, ended up with 10 cavities, 3 of which required root canals and crowns. The pain was insane for me, and I still am holding back on getting the permanent crowns (which I already paid for) because I need another root canal that has reared it's ugly head. However, I will say, I only drink soda about 2 times/week now, bought a Sonicare brush with birthday money and I floss every night. The past appointment had one baby cavity, so I'm glad to see things improving. :( Those bills suck...AND I had insurance at the time...dentists need to be cheaper!

  • Ugh I'm so sorry that sucks!
