I can't tell you how many times I've cried along with my patients at the moment of change in their ability to smile. Smiling is VERY healthy for you. Smiling does change lives. Keep it up!! More importantly, restoring someone's ability to nourish themselves by chewing their food properly is the goal - in addition to doing it esthetically.

Its our job to restore NATURAL looking and functioning teeth. Being able to do that is a pleasure, and worth every bit of the agony (don't think that dentists like hurting people, most do all they can to reduce the intrusion and feel much stress restoring your teeth).

Please take care of your crowns and/or bridges. Floss (get the floss threaders for bridgework), get an irrigator (like a Water Pik), and get one of those new "sonic" type of toothbrushes. Use them all gently and several times daily. Get check ups on your work regularly.

Thanks again. :hi:
