Right as the years gone on my teeth have kinda got worse.. I used to smoke so that didn't help and tbh was a bit silly.. As the years went on I could see hem getting worse but was just scared about going dentist.. So I buried my head in the sand.. I mean even when I could go for free during and after pregnancy I just couldn't get the guts to go.. I was soo scared and absolutely convinced they woul pull my front teeth out and I would look ugly an old.. I'm only 23 and just wanted to have a nice smile but as the years went on I smiled less openly as I was too conscious.. I wouldn't even show my teeth properly to my oh and he knew my teeth. He kep telling my its just build up of crap that needed cleaning off. (It was the bottoms of my front teeth there was the grey crap there sorry for tmi) anyway I don't know why I changed my mind but I booked a dentist appt and went today and I was soo happy when they said that they just needed a really really good clean.. It wasn't comfortable to say the least an I go back again for another clean and a check up at how I'm getting on but my teeth are fine. I didn't even look in the mirror for like 2 hours because I didn't know what to expect and I felt so cared to check but I'm so happy. They look so clean and good! And I feel like I can smile properly again! My oh said he wasn't expecting my teeth to look as good. I have just got to get my gums a little healthier and make sure I clean thoroughly ( I have been)
I'm soo happy I just wanted to share!! Please ladies if u felt he same as me.. Just go the dentist wasn't judgemental at all and I feel so much happier tem before!!
Thanks for the read :):):)
 
It also means I can be a good role model for lo to make sure he cleans his teeth.. I really don't want him to make he same mistakes I did! Thanks tr comments ladies! Xx
 
Well done for going Hun I know how scary the dentist can seem I was also scared to go for years! Glad you're feeling happier xx
 
Aw thats great, i'm glad you got up the guts to go, its amazing how the build up can be so scary in some situations and the actual event is fine, makes you wonder why we do it to ourselves! xx
 
Thats great news :) I'm so glad you have your smile back after so long worrying. :hugs: xxx
 
I fell of a skateboard when I was 9 and my front bottom two teeth fell out and my top two got bruised (people never believe this is an actual thing and just thought I had really bad teeth) and I got really bullied for the state my mouth was in when I moved towns and secondary schools and nobody knew what had happened so I just gave up from then on. I got my really badly bruised tooth replaced with a false one but I'd let them get in such a state over the years.

And then...

This is going to sound more gross than it is but about 2 months ago I got an ulcer on my gum and I just couldn't shift it and when it finally went (about a month later) I noticed the gum under it was in terrible shape, I thought it was rotting but after looking it up I don't think it was. But that kicked my arse into gear to really take care of my teeth and I have been obsessive about it for the last month. Whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, 3 times a day and my teeth look the best they've been for years.

I never want my children's teeth to end up the way mine did but mine were so terrible I didn't like smiling in photos x

Your totally right I was convinced they would shout at me and pull my teeth out when it's nothing o the sort.
