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

Omg, you all just made my year!! Especially joei. I am 27 years old and my whole life ppl asked me if I ever had braces bc my teeth were so perfectly straight, strong and white, they were my pride and joy and I took such good care of them....until I turned 26. I had been on my meds called suboxone for about two years and just had my third child. Out of nowhere, I noticed that a few had started to pull away from my gums. At this point I've had 11 pulled, and about to get the rest out. Devastated is an understatement. had 3 different dentists tell me i didn't take care of my teeth which is a complete lie. Just recently my dentist admitted that they are just too soft and decaying too fast to keep up with, and bc of my insurance, i can't even have them fixed. I have been dealing with terrible tooth pain for two years now and at this very time, I've had a front bottom tooth that's been terrorizing me for over a month now. This has been ruining my life but my pride wouldn't allow me to get dentures. After reading this though, I realize I'm not alone and I'm ready to go through with it. I can't imagine not having my own teeth and I totally blame this on suboxone even though my doctors say no. I know this is one of those things that after its all done with I will be grateful I went through with it and I'll definitely check in again~ Tweet
