Had an appointment with the dentist today and on my way I prayed I wouldn't have to get any shots. Well, I had to get a shot and boy oh boy did it hurt. It's my own fault! The Bible is so true when it says you reap what you sow! I'll be honest I haven't taken care of my teeth like I should and I developed a cavity. For those of you who still have all your teeth or most of them I can't tell you how very important it is to take good care of your teeth if you want to keep them. Brush twice a day and floss, especially before bed as the germs eat away at your enamel through the night. Trust me I've been there and now have a top denture and a partial plate on the bottom. No fun. I've had problems with my dentures too. The first one we paid over $2,000.00 which included pulling the last few teeth I had up top and one of the front teeth popped out twice. So then I was able to get another denture, which I thought all my problems would be over! Yeah right! Not only a few months after getting my new denture and it split down the middle. So off it went to the lab to be fixed, or so I thought! Yeah! I started to split again last week. So it's off to the lab again. I am praying they'll fix it right so it won't ever split again. I would ask those of you who believe in Jesus and pray, that you would pray for me as this has just been a nightmare. I first had partials up top and boy did they look terrible. Nothing matched. I never wanted to smile, but I'm one of those people who is a smiler. So guess what I had to eat humble pie. So each day I don't know whether its going to be a good day with my dentures or a bad day. I hope this encourages those of you who still have your teeth to take good extra care of them. I went through a lot of tooth pain over the years and lost them one by one. And let me tell you they don't make dentures like they used to. My mother had dentures from the age of 20 and never had a tooth come out or have the denture split down the center! My husband also has had dentures for nearly 20 years and never had a problem except he is a grinder and had to add more denture material to his plate this year, but thats all the problem he has had like I said in nearly 20 years.
