I blame one person for the downfall of my beautiful smile (my baby daddy)... Maybe that is unfair of me but every time I look at my rotting teeth in the mirror I curse his name! It was because of him that I was so malnourished in the beginning of my pregnancy and I know that is where my dental concerns started. When the teeth first started to rot that is.
I lost two more teeth this week- now just the front and bottom left teeth are still in my face. I just found out that my health insurance does cover partial dentures so at least I know that I will be able to chew again someday. 24 and considering dentures!? How does this happen? My smile was always my pride and joy. My weight has been an ongoing battle but through all the problems in finding someone to love a "fat kid" I always had my pretty smile to fall back on. (to flirt with) Now that is gone, I am so self conscious about my teeth that I find myself inventing new ways to smile without showing my teeth. I am always smiling with my eyes I guess...
If I could only hit the lottery I could afford those dental implants and not have to worry about this anymore, but alas I am a struggling single mom who sometimes can't afford the next package of diapers... let alone drop 1,000's of dollars on a new smile. I have heard that the dental implants are much cheaper in Florida but even then I am sure it's quite expensive and I would never be able to afford it.
I had to wait a month to get this infected tooth pulled and the pain was indescribable. I am so relieved to not feel pain shooting through my temple anymore but I will miss being able to eat steak! Because of the wait I failed to mention to the surgeon that I was coming down with an ear infection- I was not about to hurt for another month- and when I woke up from the anesthesia the infection was so bad in my ear it started to affect my balance and hearing. I am still all blocked up but luckily the antibiotics kicked the pain I was feeling. But that first night dealing with the ear pain on top of the pain of loosing two teeth... *shivers* it was not a good night! Now it is just plain annoying and it feels like someone stuffed my ear with cotton balls! Honestly man, it never ends in my world!
And now that I am feeling better Evan is getting sick...
On a happy note, my mother went to court for the restraining order and she WON!!! The judge granted it for a whole year so at least that shitty aspect of my life is really over! Hard to believe but its true... no more miserable man coming home and making my life hell every night. The only problem here is this... before I had no reason to smile now I have hundreds and hiding my teeth is getting harder to do! :)
That's all for now ladies and gentlemen, have a lovely week!
