Hey Everyone! I woke up really late today, come to find out my hunny let me sleep in today.. too sweet. I feel kinda groggy now though because I slept TOO much. I'm a bit blue, nothing horrible, I'm just thinking about how badly I need to get my teeth fixed and how my self esteem will never really be where it should be until I do. When I had the miscarriage my thyroid went bonkers and I started having problems with my teeth. I went from being a gal who never had a single cavity, to a toothless wonder. (not really, its just my nickname for myself). I had two teeth break, one in the front that is very embarrassing. It makes me look like Im a ghetto queen or something. I cant get them fixed until I get better insurance that will cover at least the extractions. I need 4 extractions and three implants and braces... I didnt get my teeth until I was nearly two because I was such an ill child that it kind of hampered my growth process. My mouth didnt make adult teeth for every spot, so I still have baby teeth that are wearing down obviously because they are not meant to be in your mouth and in use for this long. In total, I need $20,000.00 worth of work to be done... This is why we didnt do invitro, because we need to pay for my teeth. Its embarrassing to even talk about but I feel I need to vent today.. Anyone know any great dentists that do pro bono??? lol. Anyway, it will get done eventually and I will just have to get over my own "vanity" and deal with it until then. The scale was down .8 pounds today so thats a good thing. Sounds like a lot of my friends would like to buddy up and do a challenge so, I think I may come up with a few and see if any of you are interested.. I'd like to stop eating afert 8 (I cant do it earlier because I dont even get to eat supper until 7-7:30), another would be to eat healthy 7 days a week, no cheating. The third would be to join a group, learn something new.I'd like to learn to play the guitar because I'm a singer and would love to add in playing my own music. If anyone is interested, let me know. Of course you would have your own variations... I hope you all have a great day. I'm sorry if I was whining, I just caught a glimpse of my smile in a mirror and was not impressed. Talk to you all later.

I am also going to lose a tooth and will need an implant. I got an infection under a tooth that had a root canal 9 yrs ago and the specialist I went to said there is no saving it. It is my main chewing tooth-second to last on the upper left.
I finished invisilign braces 3 yrs ago to straighten my teeth. They were very crowded and at the end I had standard braces on just the top front 6 teeth for two months. Your dental work will be a huge undertaking, but what a huge benefit for you for the rest of your life!!
I have a broken tooth in my mouth as we speak.....I have a fear of the dentist. I am fully covered from work but too afraid to go. Something about being caught with my mouth open and not being able to talk. Sequoyah thinks I\'m crazy....he\'d go to the dentist every week if he could. I think thats crazy.....so our dentist doesn\'t know what I look like. If you are ever at the north pole stop in and give him my name!!!!
ohhh, I feel so bad for you... morgan just got braces two weeks ago, and if finally feeling better! And I know all about the self-image thing... I was just telling my husband the other day how I wanted a breast lift... so he looked it up for me... aren\'t they sweet when they want to be! Things will get better, and by the sounds of it, your hubs will have a better job soon... so chin up my dear... brighter days are coming!
