Welcome

Posted by with No comments
Welcome to the Denture Diaries.  Did you know that 99% of the American population will end up with dentures at some point in their lifetime?  True story and  most people believe that this is not going to happen to them.  Let's face it, the majority of people won't think about their teeth until they have dental problems.  In 12 days, I will become one of the 99% of Americans with dentures.  I wanted to get proactive and create a  place where I could share what I have learned about this process with all of you.  I'm not a dental health professional, but I can research things online like a pro.

After I heard the news that I would be getting dentures, I came home and freaked the hell out for a while.  This major freak out involved a really good friend, a lot of beer and a few shots of heavy alcohol.  Then, I decided to research the procedure.  I found that there are more people out there talking about this than I had originally anticipated.  Normally dentures are not something that people talk about.  I decided that if I was sitting here looking up information that would help me to feel better about having to go through this, then maybe at some point in time there will be someone else out there that I might be able to help by sharing my experiences here.

I'm fortunate to have a good support system, but I understand that the first step in any journey is often the hardest to take.  I intend to cover everything I can about my own experiences and any other piece of information that I feel might be helpful.  I'm hoping that if I write about my experiences and you guys reading this write about your experiences then maybe together we can create an informative place for someone to visit that might be looking to take their first step.  Wouldn't it be cool if through this website someone could come here feeling afraid and alone because their teeth are bad, then together we could take them by the hand and lead them through the entire process?  I think that would be one hell of a positive influence to unleash upon the world.  I also think that our world could use more positive things.  I hope you've enjoyed your visit here and I hope that you will consider helping me to create a place of hope for anyone out there who may be feeling as if their whole world just fell apart.
