Metal Mouth Message Board

HI Everyone ive been a member here since i was 16, counted down the days till my extractions, then braces on with the members here, i think my old crowd probably have moved on by now, but im back for round two, as after having my braces off about 6 months, i went to KFC, and took out my acrylic/meta...

hi everyone, i found this site last year while i was waiting for my braces and posted on it during my countdown first till extractions then to getting braced, alot happened and i wasnt able to continue posting, so i dont really have many inbetween pics but im only about 4 months into treatment, alo...

hi and welcome!!! its unfortunate you had to go through all of that as a child, but now your back on track with a real ortho, your first one sounds like a butcher to carry on with the extraction even though you werent completely numb. having teeth pulled is used as torture, i cant believe you went t...

after i got home yesterday, i ate some spagetti in tomato sauce, out of a tin, and that was ok, then i had supernoodles that was ok, but today i braved a coconut macaroon, ouch! it didnt hurt really, it just felt like it did when those nasty shards of coconut brushed past my poor little clotted sock...

thank you everyone for your replies. he really was nasty i didnt exaggerate at all his attitude really made me want to cry, so i felt really stupid coz of that but i fought it back, the actualy extraction went fine. Moving to another dentist really isnt an option, as im in the uk, and most dental pr...

well i had my 4 extractions today and it went fine, although im sure this will turn into a rant as my dentist is a real b@....d! i was so nervous and when i asked stupidly i know, if he knew which teeth he was taking out sort of as a joke, he gave me a real dirty look and said YES in a really horrib...

i can see there is so many variations with this so its hard to conduct a proper survey ? i know i dont speak for the majority on this board as im only 16, but Maybe its because of extractions, i had noticed around my school everyone seemed to get extractions first, like i have to, but my resarch has...
