I had to get my teeth removed.
Hello everyone. I hope I get support not hate.
I'm only 31 and I had to get all my teeth extracted it's really doing a number on my self love and care my self esteem is low as can be right now. I hate being in public now because I cant talk clearly I'm embarrassed. I'm really hating my life rn. I'm supposed to get dentures and that doesn't help because I'm only 31 years old. I feel I'm too young for this to happen. But the reason is I didn't take care of my teeth when I was a kid. I had perfect teeth. I'm so disappoi anywaynted in myself. I feel like a failure at life right now. I understand it's better for my health cu I had Alot of infection and doc told me I could get sepsis and die. But this really sucks. Wednesday this week makes 1 week of no teeth. And I'm beyond depressed. It's like I can't eat I can't talk. I can't feel normal. I just want to hide at home all day every day. Tomorrow will be my first day back at work. And I'm not looking forward to it. Ik my co workers won't judge but I don't even want to talk. Anyway thanks for any support or advice. I feel my quality of life has dropped significantly.

There are many reasons a person could end up with removal of teeth. You are not the only one even in your age range..... medical issues / gum disease / injury etc
You do not have to explain to anyone the reason.... in time you will learn to deal with it and dentures too... I hear are an adjustment as well. real friends will not care. Some people may be curious but it is not their business. share what you want...
Hey thanks for the advice. And I'm sure I will. I've always been very resourceful. But this is a major hurt for me rn.
Ouch that's really rough:(
Yes it really sucks
Ouch that's really rough:(
I understand and feel for you.
Remember that there will always be people who judge you BUT There will also be people who will want to help you.
Please don't be harsh on yourself.
Thank you
** UPDATE **
I go to get impressions done next week. So I'm about a month I should have my dentures. Excited and not at the same time. I just hope I can get used to wearing them
.
I'm here. Is all I can say. Everything has hit me at once. Me and my GF broke up. And I'm lost. I still haven't got my dentures. But possibly next Thursday also lately I have lost my appetite.so in the past week I have eat maybe 1 meal. And that might be being generous.
Thank you for checking in💯🙂
@assistedcrazyperson Oh dear, I’m so sorry to hear about all this. All this time you’ve been going through this and they haven’t gotten you the dentures yet? I do hope they get them to you this week. I’m sorry to hear of the end of this relationship with your gf. If it is related to your teeth, I hope sometime soon you can feel assured that a good love would not depend on something like this. I know that probably doesn’t help you right now, but someday it will be a clarity.
Wow thank you thos made me feel great. I really appreciate your response. And yes I am doing ok. I haalreqy tried them on they are making them I get them Thursday thank you greatly
@assistedcrazyperson Hey that’s great news and something to look forward to! I hope you’ll let us know how you like them, if you want. ❤️
Has your appetite improved the last few days? When I feel like that, sometimes I have to eat something kind of plain just to get something in my stomach, like saltine crackers or soft bread. I can feel more sick just by my stomach being empty too long.
You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Oh no this honestly sounds so upsetting I can understand why you are so down 😔
The only thing I can say really is they have been making dentures for forever so the technology is pretty good, and that the initial shock will eventually pass...
Also every human knows at some point we are likely to lose our teeth so I think lots of people will be sympathetic with you, I am at least!
All the best and I really hope the dentures turn out well.
Hello there,if you had removed all your teeth ,I would say that my teeth are all with root canal.. and I have done it years ago and now slowly by slowly it's started to get spoiled.. I took god care of my teeth but still I get cavities and infection.most of it is genetic and most of it is not taking good care..DOnt blame yourself,even my teeth are not good and I'm quite upset about this..but you have an option for wearing false teeth so don't lose your confidence..keep going..in time u will be happy with the false teeth..best wishes
Thank you.
Yeah I get them Thursday. I already tried them. They look amazing. I don't even recognize myself.

@assistedcrazyperson That sounds incredibly tough, and it’s okay to feel down about it. You’re dealing with a lot right now, but taking care of your health was the right choice. Give yourself time to heal and adjust, things will get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it now. Keep holding on.
