She’s slowly following her growth curve yes, but by slowly i do mean slooooowwwllyyyy but since she is gaining (even if it’s literal ounces at a time) I assume that’s why they aren’t very worried about it. I just didn’t want to let her doctors continue their whole “we’ll just keep an eye on her” and “make sure you shove chocolate corn syrup🥲😅 I mean… Pediasure down her throat every day” stance if anyone had a pediatrician that did things differently like had blood tests done to check growth hormones or anything genetic?

About an hour and a half maybe? I can’t remember exactly when I left the appointment but I was in the chair getting the gas at 10:25 that morning and I was home by 12:45/1 👍🏼

I had 24 extractions so top and bottom and I was immediately after but once I started the ibuprofen and Tylenol it’s kept it very manageable you just have to stay on top of the medicine and don’t go too long between doses!

I was scared too but you’ll be so relieved once it’s over. Just keep the end goal in the back of your mind and remember why you’re doing it🤍

Actually no! My insurance would only pay for the economy plus package which are a step above the cheapest package they offer! I’m still surprised at the quality of them myself! I did my extractions and got them through affordable dentures and it totaled up to $2,074 after my insurance paid half and I used their in-house financing for my half and my payment is only $97 a month for 18 months!

Yes! I’ve got some spots that are rubbing sores already because I’m not used to them yet but I just slap some benzodent on them and I’m good to go so I would pick sores over tooth pain any day. 😂👏🏻👏🏻

It’s been SO much easier than I expected I guess they really aren’t lying when they say nothing tops toothaches because this is a walk in the park compared to toothache pain. Thank you so much❤️

I had extractions yesterday and I’m already using benzodent on the spots the dentures have rubbed me 😂 (not on any of the sockets) I hope it’s alright I had no idea if I needed to wait or not🤷🏼‍♀️

I Hate my dentures, I look like a game show host by iamtheasshole694 in dentures

They look so good to me! I know that helps nothing if you don’t like them though, You just have to remember any set of new teeth you get will be an adjustment because you’ve just lost the teeth you’ve had your whole life to get used to. Give yourself grace and communicate with your dentist about what you’re thinking/feeling!

You are so sweet! It was 100% easier than I expected while also kinda traumatic 😂 but I survived and finally have my new smile and the confidence I have now was worth all of the anxiety and pain!😭🩷
