Hi, I am feeling sooo bad for what I went through alot. I did not have nice smile. So, on October 2007 I went in Dentist and asked for to have all of my teeth pulled for dentures which I shouldn't have ask. I regretted but It's too late now. I will tell you what happened to me. After he pulled all of my teeth out for dentures. I lost my hearing. I did hear good with hearing aid all of my life until after he pulled all of my teeth out of my mouth. After that hearing aid won't help me hear anymore. I got really upset and I cried then I ended up got cochlear implant to get my hearing back. I hear "ok" with cochlear implant but I hear "better" with hearing aid. Well, I'm glad to hear something with cochlear implant better than nothing. I looked at my computer, it said sometime dentist work, bad bite or jaw misalignment effect cochlea hair cells. Wow, I didn't know that. Very Unlucky Me.
:( and I am not even happy with dentures. It's worse than I thought. I only wear upper denture when I go somewhere. When I am home, I take it off. I don't wear lower denture because it hurt my bottom gum too much. So, when I eat, I won't wear upper denture, because I like to taste the food. It really pissed me off. I should have kept my own teeth even though I didn't have nice smile, then I would enjoy the taste and hear good with hearng aid. Too late now. It changed my life. I am waiting for Donated Dental Service to help me get implants attach dentures and remove the palette so I can taste sweet and food. I really hope I will get what I want as I have been going through alot and good things come to those who wait.....I hope good things will happen to me by get implants teeth or implants attach dentures so that way it won't move when I eat and it should be alot better. When that's done, I hope I will be happy. I was soooo miserable and waiting for my name to come up on the list from Donated Dental Service. It's been a year in August. I called Susan Lear, she said she will call me in a year or a little over a year. oh boy, I am still waiting sooo long.....and have been praying for her to call me anytime or sooner than later and refer me to Dental in Vacaville that will do volunteer work for me. I really hope I will get what I want to have comfortable smile!
Thank you for reading me and hope you can help me.....
