Anyone had a traumatizing dental experience? Ive had multiple in the past, but this current one is hard. It was a long term dentist that treated me for 12 yrs, no issues all these years until now. I was injured in a failed partial dentures process. My bite was altered and the worst, my lower teeth are damaged. Theres all these issues with them that i didnt have before, but the teeth are still healthy, just the way they feel is not right. My gums and jaw are still irritated from this mess. This past year was a total nightmare. I left this doctor and looking to get myself back together, first beginning with trying to get these lower teeth bonded/fixed. Then ultimately get my partials made by my old doctor from years ago that made me my old upper that lasted me 14 yrs. Anyone had traimatic experiences? In the past i did,but those damaged teeth came out as the root canals all failed. Right now i have these lower teeth that look healthy to anyone but are driving me insane. My tongue catches on these slightly sharp gaps, sharp thin uneven surfaces, and i am surviving putting wax on 4 spots inbetween these teeth. I want this nightmare way past me i left this doctor for good and got refunded, but is it too late for me? I feel im stuck with permanent damage and after a whole year and no dentures, i am losing hope. Now i am injured and my teeth are damaged. Should I keep trying? Ive suffered enough. When will this nightmare end? I get thoughts of just extracting all the teeth. But im hoping this new doctor im trying out i. A few days can fix them. (Bonding likely) Any other nightmare stories so I dont feel so alone in this. Is it possible to get my life together again after i feel my life and teeth have been ruined?! I have a daughter to live for and thats the reason i keep trying, but the permanent damages I cant accept or stand. My teeth have been altered horribly, and im crying hoping they can be fixed, or else theyll have to come out. The way they feel is so wrong! Help!
