Metal Mouth Message Board

Apparently, you are not supposed to eat before you are anesthetized. I did. Whoops! They rescheduled me for 9:30 tomorrow morning... which is in 7 hours. The anticipation is making this way worse - removing healthy teeth seems INSANE right now.

It's been 2 months! I barely notice them. There are some food that are still annoying to eat, and some that are oddly more fun to eat... like goldfish. Weird. I'm getting extractions tomorrow - the usual "four on the floor". I am positively queasy, and I am occasionally in panic that it w...

Thanks. That was my moment of panic. I still feel a little panicked, but I was supposed to call the dentist to make the appointment tomorrow, so I'll just ask lots of questions then. I like my dentist a lot (I drive an hour to see him) and I'm sure he'll give me straight talk. I'm 26, so I don't thi...

AAAAAH, what?? Someone please present to me a counter-argument for those videos! I'm getting 4 extractions, plus my last 2 wisdom teeth. I am a singer, I CANNOT make my mouth smaller. Holy crap.

So, I have no appetite. It's not that I am in pain - it's pretty minimal. It's just that eating is awkward and I'm honestly just not interested. I have no appetite. This is pretty much the opposite of how I usually operate.... I am always all about food. It's pretty great, because I'm losing weight,...

I am not in much pain at all, but it feels so weird. I kind of wish I had gotten ceramic brackets on the botto...

I think that right now I feel like those women on What Not To Wear who cry when they get their hair cut. I always thought they were so childish for making ugly hair part of their identity! But, they always look so lovely in the end, right? Ugh, this is hard. Not backing out, though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/altoclaritone/Picture5.png There I am..... but only until 9:40 tomorrow morning. I just found out they're doing m whole mouth tomorrow. Ugh. Oh, well. Get it over with, I guess. I am almost a little sad to see this smile go! It has a lot of character.... but I...

So, I am getting my lowers on Thursday! I will add a before pic and a pic after I get them on. I think the uppers are next week. I am not nervous about getting them on so much as I am nervous about having teeth extracted. Perfectly healthy teeth! It feels like I'm getting a nose job or something - s...

I know this has been discussed before. I did a search, but I'm still looking for some different info. I'm a singer. I am currently planning on auditioning for a second bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance. The auditions wouldn't be until January, but I also will hopefully have an aria to sing in t...
