If you've seen this video back in September, I think that's this is what I've been wanting to talk about
Don't mind this mess, I'm sorry. I just really didn't want to deal with it right now
Hey guys, welcome to my channel. My name is Sam
If you don't know who I am and today I am going to be sharing one of the most personal
Details about my life as you can
See by the title if you've been a subscriber for a while the title might come across as what?
Unless you have noticed any were just nice enough not to say anything
so first of all
I just want to say that I know that I make myself vulnerable by talking about sensitive topics like this and
my mental health stuff
but I'm learning to
Embrace that part of myself because it's not as easy as it seems for a lot of people to just talk about
stuff like this if I'm mentally and physically able to talk about my
Experiences and let my voice be heard then why not?
I might get some trolls or people that are just plain out rude
But I'm not going to let those people be the reason why I don't make these type of videos
because this is a way how I
cope to like if I'm gonna start anything new I usually go to youtube and try to search someone's personal experience because I
I like that relatable nough sand. I like to hear other people's
Opinions on it. So I won't let the fear of rejection get in my way of making these videos
I want the people that are in the same situation as me to understand that you are not alone
Like no matter if you're young and you have to get dentures or if you are going through anxiety and depression as well
This is the situation
Yes
but let's make the best out of it and embrace what we have so as cliche as it sounds I really
Really? Hope to help somebody with this video. Damn it. I forgot my coffee
Wow, we're already ten minutes in and I haven't even started on the video
Let's get to this and yes
I'm using my phone because I wrote notes out because I knew that this video was gonna be a really long video and I
have a really bad memory and
Sitting in front of the camera. It makes it even worse because I just get nervous
So I'm sure that there's gonna be a lot of things that I don't go
Over or I miss or just plain forget to talk about it
This has been a very long journey. So I'm trying to break it down so I can tell you guys exactly what happened
But if I'd miss anything if you have any any questions at all, please leave them in the comments below
I will make sure that I answer them even if I don't know the answer, I will still reply to you
So, I'm sure you're thinking
Why so young ayan wasn't from some rare?
Condition, which I usually find is the most common for someone around my age and it's not from drugs
which I have been accused from dentists before and it does an
awful awful
Feeling when you are so against those type of drugs
the reason why I got dentures at a fairly young age is because of genetics and
Not taking care of my teeth when I was young
Hi boy, hi
My parents both how to get dentures in their 40s
I believe one of my siblings how to get dentures when they were in their 20s as well. And I'm gonna be straight-up honest
I did not take care of my teeth
Like I should have growing up and that's one thing that I really really regret
but the past is the past I can't do anything about it now, but if you are young and a half crappy teeth
Take care of them because they're just gonna get crappier and your you will appreciate them now when I was about 21
every single one of my front teeth
had a chip in it somewhere one day I was eating a tricky sandwich and I
Bit wrong. I don't remember which one it was, but I'm pretty sure it was my canine that just fell straight out
when I bit into the tricky sandwich and I I
Was devastated I started crying and I I didn't know what to do
First of all, I was so self-conscious about my smile in the first place now
I don't even have a tooth at all there
I have that missing tooth for quite a while and it definitely
Killed my self-esteem because I never smiled if I could hide my smile the better
It would be I hardly smile my whole entire life just because I didn't want to show my teeth
I would either
smell without my teeth or eyewear if I couldn't like out if I was laughing at something that was just hilarious then I would just
cover my
cover my mouth and like act like oh ha ha ha ha, you know, I know it was just to cover cover my
Teeth around the age of 22
I believe I finally went to see a dentist to figure out what I could do in what I could afford
This is when the did just first told me that my front teeth were not capable at all at that time
I was given the choice to remove the front
6 teeth for a denture partial implants or pay ten times
More the price and get them
Permanently implanted so I had to go with the cheaper option because that was really my only option
so I talked about this a lot over with my
She just went through this like ten years before I was she convinced me that there is nothing more
Important than my health and it would give me the confidence and might smile again and I went to go see if I was qualified
For this for this credit card called Care Credit, which is a credit card for medical stuff only. I didn't qualify
Unfortunately, because I had no credit at the time
But fortunately my mom was so graciously kind enough to apply herself
And then I would pay her back
I decided to get my top six front teeth extracted and replaced with a partial denture
so I had the remaining real teeth in the back and
the partial would had little hooks on it that hooked onto my real teeth thought gave me more control of them, but
Later down the road. I found out that that's not
Honestly, I hated those teeth compared to the teeth that have now at the time they were
Life-changing but compared to the look of them now and compared to my first partial
I'm very much more pleased with these ones and they were actually a lot more difficult to stay in
They always would fall out and get loose and it was really really embarrassing. So back to the first extraction that
Whole experience was completely life-changing
like I said
the first time I ever had teeth extracted was like a week before I had the big procedure done and I didn't get the
Anesthesia because it would have been a crap ton of more money
There was some teeth I had no problem with they they gas me up. They numbed me a bite
That's like one of the worst parts of the dentist. Is that stupid needle with any nun me?
Oh, I hate that so much, but they numbed me up. They gassed me up good and
It was fine. I didn't have it was weird like I had pressure and stuff, but it it was fine
It was no hit wasn't a big deal. A lot of people get their wisdom teeth taken out. It's it's normal
My next appointment was to extract
The six top teeth and they did the same thing
They gassed me up and they numbed me up
And well, I really should have paid the extra to get the anesthesia because that seriously scarred me for life
And I know everyone is different. It was just me sitting there
Realizing what's actually happening. I'm never going to have real teeth up there anymore. And
the realization was really sinking in I started crying and
it was really embarrassing but the dentist stopped what she was doing, and she
Reassured me that I was doing the right thing
I was it was the best thing that I could do for my health and I'm gonna have a brand new smile after this and
She was and it was very very sweet of her. So this whole procedure costs about
$2,500. I believe when I got home I remember being in a lot of pain, but it did not compare to
the tooth pain that I wasn't the one thing that I had a really hard time with was
All the blood rose warning the first night after the extractions
I had slept with the gauze in my mouth
and when I woke up my mouth was like
Full of blood and just like the smell and taste just like made me want to throw up I had to relearn how to eat
again, how to talk again cottage cheese and mac and cheese and
SpaghettiOs were my best friend the second hardest part for me. I think was getting used to learning how to eat
I was terrified to try to eat certain fruit foods just because I was scared to like
Rupture my gum or something
I was just terrified to eat any solid food for a really long time
Probably took me about two months to get it comfortable eating and salted foods again
And my first soul of food was a fish sandwich from McDonald other than the eating part
I don't think it took me a really long time to get used to the partials
I was just always afraid that they were going to like fall out or people were going to notice and
That was my biggest fear. I noticed myself smiling a lot more which more people started recognizing my smile on a good way
I remember this time I was helping a customer at my previous job and she had left the store and came back and
Came back over to my desk and just randomly said you have a really beautiful smile
I just want to let you know that that was one of the first times I can remember that anybody ever complimented on my smile
And I will never ever forget that so years won by and I should have cut going to the dentist
But I didn't I was too afraid and ashamed that I needed to get more
Removed even though they weren't doing me any good when I was about 26. I started getting
massive pain in my right
Top top right area I decided to go to this new dentist that was in town
I read really really good reviews on and when I got there I was not disappointed
I met with the dentist and instead of going straight to the dentist room and stuff and having me sit in the dentist where
she had me come into her office and
Like get to know me before we even start before she even starts looking at my teeth that kind of made me feel even more
Comfortable. I was completely honest and straightforward with her
I told her that I have a partial that my teeth are
Absolutely awful and I don't know what's gonna happen, but I'm in a lot of pain
I told her all my history and my fear of dentist because I I
Always feel judged when I go to the dentist
She reassured me that she sees this all the time and so she did a full evaluation
On my teeth and set me down to talk about my options. She said that there are no
Teeth that are savable except for maybe
four and she said that we can try to save those ones but
What's gonna happen in about five years?
you might come back and
You've just wasted all that money for so she said that a full denture would be her suggestion
I knew I was going to hear those words, but I didn't realize I was only going 26 I said, let's do it
let's start making a plan and we did they gave me a quote for the
Extractions that I would be having for the back top teeth
And I got the procedure done back in September 2017 last year. I remember
being
Way more nervous about this one than my first procedure. I think
Because I I knew what to expect but it was gonna be all of my top teeth. Like how do they stay in? Like I
had so many questions and I was kind of nervous that somebody on the internet would notice the difference and
Not be nice about it
You know
this was a video that I posted right before my procedure and I instantly noticed a difference of
The shape of my teeth then and now I did post on Twitter that I had the procedure done
but not everyone on YouTube has a Twitter so I don't know who knows and who
Doesn't know but I never got any negative comments about it. So, thank you guys
I've started gaining so much more confidence with this smile because these are the best teeth that I've ever
Had in my life the healing process was actually pretty fast with this one
I felt I think it's because I kind of knew what to expect they felt very dull and raw
My worst fear now was how did they stay in?
Like I don't have that hook to grab onto the back of my teeth
Like they did a really really good job of like molding my teeth and the denture itself is made from some like suction
Materials stuff whatever that is
It does a really good job of holding them in without me even having to use like Fixodent or denture glue
Stuff just yet. Anyway, Oh tomorrow is actually
the day of my extraction I was going to make this video a while ago, but
Like I said, I've been pushing this video off or sometime tomorrow. I will be removing the rest of
My bottom teeth and be replacing it with a denture as well. Let me know if you guys want me to update you guys
What happens after this? I wasn't really planning on it
But if you want me to I definitely will I really hope you enjoyed this video
It was really difficult, but it was really relieving if you've made it all the way to the end of this long-ass video
Thank you. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to just sit down and watch watch me hang out with me
Listen to what I have to say. I really appreciate it more than you know
