This. I've only been recently able to afford much needed dental care, and now it's too late for one of my teeth, a tooth above it broke the roots because my mouth is too crowded. Had I been able to afford it earlier, I would have a much more normal mouth.
I have larger than average teeth too, so I had braces all of middle school.
Hoping the cause of this is something simple like a sinus infection, though the area has a baby tooth that’s managed to hang on and it has fillings from when I was a kid.
My problem is the opposite, normal teeth, small mouth! Haven't ever been able to have braces until now, so I'm knocking it all out now. Hope everything goes well for you!
Ouch… Hopefully it all goes swimmingly for you, and remember no pain, no gain. And thanks!
Aye, the least you can do is contain the damage...
Yep, I'm grateful that I can fix what's still there, it's just unfortunate that teeth are luxury bones, and good health is a luxury in and of itself.
