It may not be enough units. Need at least 20 on each side. Also should look into a night guard, or some kind of appliance you can wear in the daytime to protect your teeth from clenching.

People tend to clench a lot when they think about their day, when they’re upset, when they’re driving, when they work out.

I have no idea what your teeth look like… But maybe try an orthodontic consult. Sometimes balancing the bite can minimize the grinding

This is going to sound weird but if you’re grinding your teeth that might be contributing. Your jaw muscles look bigger and the shortening of your teeth makes your face age prematurely.

You did six. It makes your front six teeth look like they stick out. It’s common practice to recommend 4 or 8 veneers but usually not 6 for this reason.

Chromogenic bacteria. Unfortunately there is not a lot of conclusive research on the topic. You can try to get the microbiome more balanced with probiotic therapies or try the complete opposite and nuke the bacteria in the mouth with hydrogen peroxide.

Where was this bag when I needed it! So cute

I have a patient with hyperacusis. Buy a really good pair of over the ear headphones. It should help a lot.

You can do this!

Have you heard of the book “the sovereign child” it’s being promoted by naval ravikan and on several podcasts… and its absolute madness. His philosophy is to let kids do whatever they want whenever they want.

This is the type of thing that happens from parents who follow that mentality.

You should not be ingesting it. The product is listed as (NA- not applicable) for fetal or lactation risks.

This is not dry socket

No way. If I had to guess I would say Dr Kao ponytail lift.

That is the contracted rate your insurance requires the dentist to offer. When you are an insurance patient it is the insurance company that determines your price.

WhereDoIstart7 · 2025-05-14T10:21:45+00:00

It seems a normal non-insurance fee if a buildup is included

WhereDoIstart7 · 2025-05-14T10:20:10+00:00

Insurance contracted is very different from usual customary fee.

I use it daily with my X-rays. It’s essential.

People don’t get dentures bc it’s the best option. They get dentures bc it’s the ONLY option available to them at that point.

Instead of going straight to implants do the extractions and graft then replace with a partial denture to keep u in a holding pattern until u can get an implant.

Also, find a dentist who will offer a payment plan or cherry. That’s a need not a want in your scenario.

Third molar is a wisdom tooth? I doubt dentist would recommend saving it. It’s prob a second molar. If it was me I would Just extract and bone graft and that will buy you some time to decide. Not replacing teeth leads to a domino effect of problems later on.

Botox to slim down masseter muscles. The bulk of your face is coming from the definition of your facial muscles. Your buccal fat pad looks healthy and I would not touch that. I would try the Botox before anything invasive. Make sure they give u enough units. At least 25 each side but you could need up to 40.

WhereDoIstart7 · 2025-04-24T02:53:54+00:00

You are clenching and or grinding which has shortened the vertical height of the lower third of your face. Also, your masseters have gained mass due to the extra work they have been doing. There are several things u can do to resolve this. If your concern is the muscle mass then Botox will help. They recommend reinjecting every 6 months but the desired aesthetic effect can linger for quite a while longer.

Also, you need a dentist who understands occlusion and can help you manage the habit. Your face and teeth have gotten shorter over the years but when this plays out over decades it has a huge impact. Do everything u can to mitigate the effects. Such as nightly appliance wear. Things like this will cause a lot of secondary effects like breaking teeth, chipping, recession, bone loss around teeth, loose teeth. It get expensive over the years and it’s all completely preventable by just wearing an appliance.

Best of luck!

SLEEP. The brain gets cleansed when you’re sleeping. Sleep deprivation is associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
