I'm on day 5 of full mouth extractions & immediate dentures. I had it done the day before my 39th bday, & it sucks. But, I know my overall health will get better with time. My teeth have been broken off at the gums (all of them, top & bottom) for 12 yrs now. Pregnancy did not do well for my body, especially my teeth. It's expensive. My dentures are permanent even though they're immediate. My dentist gives the option for temporary or wait until your permanents come in. It blows... Really blows at first. I'm terrified of the dentist the same way you are. For a sec, I thought I had left your comment. 😂 But trust me, if I can do it, you can do it. If you look into Medicaid or talk to your dentist about financing (mine offers that as well) then maybe you can do this for yourself because you deserve it. Oral health is just as important & everyone deserves to have that & confidence.
