I have never done anything like this so I’m not sure where to start. I’ve always been self conscious but the one thing I loved about myself was my smile and how it was contagious to those around me. Health issues caused weakness in my bones and my first tooth fell out 2 years ago and the 2nd a month after. I changed my dental plan to help and after already struggling to pay off $11,000 my bridge snapped and my next options are dentures or implant. At 40 dentures is not something I ever thought I would have to think about and it’s taken a significant toll on my self esteem and mental health. I no longer smile or sing out loud. I completely closed myself off to everyone and everything. what I hate the most is feeling so embarrassed to go out with my daughter or meet her friends and their parent. I’m somebody I don’t even know anymore. I know this is something so meaningless to everyone going through much m difficult situation, but I’m slowly dying inside and want nothing more than to smile again and feel good about myself. thank you for taking the time to read a little bit of my story.
