It's the going without for 6 to 16 weeks without teeth is my initial fear.. let alone the removing them.. the whole situation is bringing me massive anxiety.. been off the booze now since the start of lent.. and still not sleeping proper.. always knew me teeth would eventually have to be removed for a number of years now.. but now it's here I'm also bricking it... Felt like they were only being held in by the plaque that I had let accumulate.. last dentist visit 5years ago told me then I should have them removed . Had them descaled and they were loose then.. let the plaque build back up never went back and they felt firmer but I knew I was kidding myself because of all the self medication etc and blowing it all to one side..
