well, for a long time I isolated. During that time my back teeth were cracked from grinding and poor care. I couldn't ask for help and nobody offered so I did my own dental work on my back teeth. Spitting back teeth out in a parking lot, taking a lance to my gums. I lost all my molars and am in the process of repairing my front teeth and getting partial dentures for the back. It's just the price I have to pay. I'm almost done and I consider it a real step forward in my recovery.


I'm happy to hear you are getting out more and finding it easier at times. I did exactly what you described, going out and pulling back. I just kept taking that step again, and again and again until I got somewhere. Keep doing what you are doing..you should be super proud of yourself.

Oh, that sounds terrible, I hope it will be able to all be fixed and that the dentures go ok, I'm needing some too and scared about it. Let me know how it goes. I do rinse with tea tree diluted and I find clove oil helpful. I make a natural toothpaste up with coconut oil, sodium bicarb and peppermint oil. I also have been getting temporary filling material from the internet for some but there are several that definitely need to be extracted.

It is so hot here today, I had a walk about 9am but it's the afternoon now and it only got hotter and hotter! We are in for a heatwave apparently! I'm glad I have a fan!

I'm glad this is the way you done it too, I guess it's got to be baby steps and plenty of resting in between. I can do that :)
