4/12/07 I am proud to tell all of you that I finally got up the courage to go to a local dentist today. He looked at my teeth and I had an X-ray done. I am getting all of my upper teeth pulled and some of my bottom ones pulled which means I need a full upper denture and partial lower. I just wanted to let all of you know that just going there was the hardest part for me. For me it took a lot of courage just to walk into that office. Now I feel a sense of hope and relief that I am finally going to get this taken care of. The dentist was wonderful and explained exactly what he is going to do and said he would take care of me and that he would make sure I would have the least amount of pain as possible. This of course was a great relief to me considering I have been dreading going into a dentist's office for years now. I am hoping that by documenting my experiences maybe I can encourage anyone that needs serious dental work done to get off of their butts and do something for themselves. Every person deserves to feel good about him/her self and I am finally realizing that I do too. I know that this is going to change my life and make me feel so much better about my appearance and going out in public. My next appointment is 4/23 I will put up a new post then just to let everyone know how it is going. Good luck to anyone that is in need and god bless you all.
