that be me.

had the last (ugly, rotting) teeth removed last week.

already have an upper plate, the remaining were in the bottom gum - out of seven -

5 were not exposed - only 2 "above ground" so to speak.

yah - pretty uncomfortable.

be 3-4 months to get a flexible plate/bridge for the bottom, then my face will look normal again, and I can chew food.

and SMILE!!

I really never stopped smiling, but was quite self-conscious about it - especially knowing how unattractive my mouth looked - my mirror told me so . . .

My mouth looks better without them ugly teeth in there,

But will sure look much better when I got teeth in there . .

One step at a time . .

right?
