Re: Is there a support group for young people getting dentures?

I am a 33 yr. old woman, and I totally understand your situation. 1 year ago I went to a dentist and found out that I had waited too long to fix my teeth. All my friends told me if I would just suck it up and go to the dentist, I'd be fine. Well, you are never fine when they close the door and begin to explain what Dentures are. Cut to one year later, and I am fine. I will not lie, it took some time to get used to...eating, talking...kissing. But I've started to figure it out. My husband of 3 years is also very supportive, so that helps. I'm now looking down the barrel of having my "uppers" extracted. I keep putting it off, but I know it needs to be done, yesterday.
Stay strong and I hope the knowledge that someone else "gets" you. When I went through my ordeal, all they could tell me was they did the same operation on one other person my age.....but he was a meth head!!!!!!!!!!!! That crushed my spirit.
