Heidi,
I've been through soooo many dental issues too. I can relate to what's
happening to you! 2 yrs. ago I had my front lower teeth extracted (I only
had 1 or 2 left in back. Many ordeals later I now have an implant supported
lower denture. I almost forgot how to eat "normally".
I'm sure in the future I'm in for more troubles with my upper teeth.

It's so not fair, I've almost always had good dental hygene, no drugs (not
that kind). My husband can eat candy before bed - then not brush, hardly
ever flosses, used snuff in younger years & no problems ever!
Well, keep us posted! Looking forward to your new smile!
