I've been sitting around without upper teeth for over a year now! I had to relearn to talk, and when I did speak, I was spitting everywhere. A lot of shops still had the 'Covid Screens' in place, so whenever I had to talk to someone on a till, I was spraying the glass with spit - It was fucking awful.
Although I genuinely couldn't help it, I looked like a right disrespectful cunt who was just taking the piss. As such, I have avoided almost all social situations for the last year...
I had all my top teeth removed in about June 2002 - I was issued with a 'Temporary' NHS (Free) upper denture, which I had to use for the following 6 months, before I could begin the implant process...
It was a shit denture, that didn't fit, made my jaw go to the side, and I couldn't taste any food, as it covered the entire top of my mouth. Yes, you have taste buds on your tongue, but also on the roof of your mouth, and they work in conjunction with each other...
On top of that, the only way it would stay in was with a stupid amount of fixative 'glue' which would just 'give up' at random moments, meaning my teeth literally fell out of my mouth.
After the 6 months was up, In January 2023, I began the implant process. It was supposed to take a total of 4 months. I stopped wearing the poorly fitting denture as it was misaligning my jaw...
Because of the practise staff inability to make proper appointments for me, and do basic stuff 'Behind The Scenes' ie remembering to send off the wax teeth for finishing etc, it has stretched on now for over a year... NOT my dentists fault - He is great. Its the staff at the clinic that are to blame. Delay after delay... Totally unacceptable, but nearly finished now... Its been quite an adventure...
