Teeth

For more than a decade, I have had teeth missing in my mouth.  In 2021 I finally saved enough to get a tooth fixed that needed a root canal and 1 month later, it fell out when I was eating.  So, I have not had a tooth in that spot for a while.  Let's just say my mouth is a mess. 

My dentist and I had a long conversation about what the plan would be going forward.  So, beginning in May of 2024, the dental work began.  I really HATE getting my teeth cleaned, it showed and the last time I had gotten it done was a few years back I visited my sister and her family in Washington State.  Her son in law who is a dentist and he did a great job (so I didn't feel the need to get it done again--hahaha!)  So we started with the cleaning (after the X-rays) and then there were 6 fillings, 5 teeth pulled (they all needed root canals and I said no to that) and 6 crowns and then the molding for the partial denture.  This is how the final product looked.

This is how they turned out after being properly fitted.  Overall I am so pleased.  The colors really match my own teeth well and I hope I can get used to chewing with them in.  A full upper and lower mouth of teeth.  February 6th 2025 felt great.

When I started my job at Fourpoints Health, I was very thrilled about the benefit of discounts on dental services.  The manager of the dental team was setting next to me and we talked about what my goal would be to get my mouth working and she was so excited to see my excitement and she asked me about it over the year or so it has taken to accomplish the goal.  Today after I got my final visit, She took a picture with me and I was so embarrassed because I literally got all teared up.

I am blessed.  I am so grateful for Heavenly father's plan, for his help and guidance and the way he guided me to work at such a great place.  It is fun to go to work most of the time and that is so important.
