I've been struggling...finally sharing

[@Withloveleenaofficial]

I am so sorry you have been struggling Shea :( Your struggles are completely valid!! Everyone has their own set of struggles and no one can judge whether one's is worse than the other. Praying you're able to heal and get relief so soon.

[@michellepelton1448]

My heart hurts for you. I pray for healing for your mouth and your anxiety. Everyone struggles with something, and the people who follow you and care for you don’t judge you. You’re bravery for sharing your struggle is commendable. It’s not easy opening up about your problems, and I’m proud of you for putting yourself out there. Thank you for sharing your struggle. Prayers are going up for you now, because you shared.

[@kathitzegai1344]

I am very sorry that you have to go to this. Praying for a solution. Your struggles bring tears to my eyes. Hope somebody out there can really help you. We love you!

[@melifiscentgirl]

Shea - It is truly brave to share this with the world and I sympathize with your situation. I have my own health struggles and your words ring true on how suffering affects everything in your life. There’s no shame in that struggle and should not be a stigma associated with having health challenges. I believe one can find happiness even if they can’t find health and hope you find your way soon.

I can't even put into words how I know exactly how you feel. Going through almost the same issue. Cosmetically..perfect... On paper (x-ray)... a disaster. I'm never without an appointment to get something drilled, nerve damage, pulled adjusted... the only rest I get is the rest of healing in between appointments. AND NO ONE realizes how depressing it is.

I’m a dental hygienist and thank you for mentioning that oral health is tied to overall health. There are so many things you can find out about your body by your oral health. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re dealing with these issues and not to minimize your concerns/frustrations. I hope everything gets figured out and you can eat how/what you want!

Have you ever heard of gums becoming numb after running/exercise? The dentist I've asked give me a blank stare.

[@annacevedo9278]

@@terrjarvis8685 ....Do you have any other dental issue? Cavities, root canals, mercury amalgam fillings , have braces, bridges, gum disease?? The teeth are directly connected with your acupuncture meridians . It is now believed that this meridian system that runs throughout your body may be connected with our fascia tissue that runs throughout our muscles and all organs and also with our lymphatic system - the system to eliminate toxins in our tissues, organs via the blood which takes it to our liver, colon and kidneys for elimination. The vagus nerve in your mouth running down through your esophagus to your colon and another up from your 2 front teeth along roof of mouth down back of head tun through your meridians also. To put it briefly. Meridians also fun from each tooth down to parts of your body. So yes... your teeth and mouth could have an effect on your body ... muscles.... joints etc. So it follows that if you use your muscles like in exercise /strenuous movement ... it may refer back to your mouth. So look for any issues in your mouth. Mercury dental amalgam fillings can create very very bizarre conditions both in mouth and rest of body. A Biological Dentist may be the best to know about these things. In the 1800s mercury fillings were banned by the THEN American Dental Association because they knew and experienced the detrimental effects of mercury on all systems of the body bc it attacks the nervous system and endocrine which then affects all other systems & organs. This they knew bc of the hazards it posed for mercury mining workers and gold mining and workers in the Top Hats manufacturing bc they used mercury to stretch the hat fabric. Many of these became insane or mentally unstable thus the adage “Mad Hatter” like you hear in the Alice and Wonderland tale. But the pressure of the elites brought down that 1st dental association. And later the one we have now formed with the same name and they resumed the use of mercury amalgams which is 50% toxic mercury. Mercury is used to mine gold to separate it from the rocks and other mineras. I guess they need to use the leftover for something like they do with fluoride and other residual industrial waste. They chug it to the naive consumers and make more bucks out of it. When my 8 mercury amalgams were installed within less than 2 months one of the immediate symptoms that happened was I began having a massive pain shoot up to my eye and brain FROM a molar next to one filled. If the pain lasted more than the 20 seconds I would have had to commit suicide bc all I can do is jump up and down holding my head until it subsided. Luckily it would only happen occasionally until one day it lasted longer . I ran to a dentist and told him that if he did not pull out the tooth I’d commit suicide right there. He then suggested he first drill a hole into the tooth supposing that maybe a gas had been trapped in it. He did and low and behold the pain went away and never returned and was the tooth that ever remained perfect. A few years ago it became impacted though and got infected bc it was still a baby tooth. It was removed ... but before that the infection ran UP the same route I had felt at the time of those shooting nerve pains and it would end up swelling my whole body with also fatigue and muscle pain. I could “feel” the infection in my body. After the tooth was extracted my body went back to normal... I could actually feel the drainage from my forehead down my face, neck and body as I healed. If you go on Facebook on mercury dental amalgams groups you will hear a lot of bizarre stories, even bi-polar and schizophrenia being resolved after resolving amalgams or tooth problems. One good one is Andy Cutler safe mercury detox (something like that).

[@annacevedo9278]

@@terrjarvis8685 .... Also it would be beneficial to have a nutritional analysis blood work up to see what deficiencies in vitamins and essential minerals you’ve got going on. Regular doctors do NOT perform this only holistic practitioners do. Reg doctors do not study nutrition in college they’re just given 12-23 hours in SOME medical schools. Many Chiropractors do . Functional Medicine doctors and Naturopathic Physicians do. Insurance does NOT cover this either. It costs about $500 nowadays. Deficiency in Vitamin Bs can produce gum and mouth mucosa issues , herpes simplex and dry lips and rashes . So a B Complex would be good to take giving yourself a 2 week break in between. Vitamin D3 too. Then look for those that work WITH Bs and D. Like vitamin C, A, and E. Vitamin C is essential for bone and collagen (D too). Vegetable /food based vitamins are the best.

You may need to choose, implants completely. You are probably gonna deal with teeth issues for tne rest of your life ( it’s your AchillesHeel) .. of course implants have issues , but they are usually the same kind of issues all tne time...and after awhile....they become easy to deal with. I have had the root canals/ swollen lymph’s also..( of course like you I knew it was teeth, but they looked for salvia stones etc until they realized it was my teeth). My hubby has had implants for years..he says there are more pros than cons...( I’m thinking of doing the same). He said food isn’t as tasty as before, but after awhile it’s tasty enough..because you forget just hoe tasty it was before the implants. I have waay more problems with teeth and each year..I get closer to just pulling them all and getting implants. May for you it’s something to consider

Shea, I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with all this. I really recommend you see a therapist to work through all the conflicted feelings you are dealing with regarding this issue.

They can help you validate, understand, and unpack your emotions and you deserve that.

[@GM-he6bq]

As a Dentist in both Connecticut and Florida, I have heard this type of situation many times. The best advise I can give, is to see someone that can diagnose why this occurred, how to resolve the problem and then restore your dentition to optimal form and function. There is a true oral/systemic connection that should be evaluated. Stress is a huge factor in many aspects of health including oral health. Good luck in your quest for resolution and finding the correct team to treat you.

I am glad someone that knows about the topic replied! Also, I am not a doctor or anything, but I've heard about several women that after becoming mothers, they get a sort of calcium deficiency in their teeth. Is that even a thing? I know for a fact that both of my grandmothers had this (also, gave birth numerous times) and some other women of different ages.

[@1hawtMetz]

Thank you Dr. "G M" for this piece of expert advice; I've been scared to even begin some light research on the topic of my own similar dental issues that I just *know* are present and will likely be worse than I expected, let alone to make my imminent dreaded dental appointment. Anyways...I appreciate so much to hear such relevant information from a credible professional today (without actually being on the phone/in an office with a local dental care provider), this comment, and Shae's video of course, gave me the push I needed to take my first step towards actually just biting the bullet** and schedule a consultation today. I apologize for this mellowdramatic, unwarranted 'personal issue' comment; I assure you that I'm speaking earnestly and perhaps for that reason, I felt strongly moved to express my gratitude. One never knows when they might actually be speaking life-changing words--so just had to let you and Shae know how much you helped a random person online today! Ha in a real way. OK I'm done now 😅😳🤞 Good vibes and all the best to you and yours. **pun originally unintended ha & I do know how poor of a practice it generally is to "bite the bullet", chew the ice, etc 🙃 God bless yall

Thanks for sharing, Shea. I'm in my late 60's and have had a lifelong struggle with my teeth. It really makes me feel vulnerable and helpless at times. It's especially hard in your younger years. I, too, started having a really bad time with my teeth in my early twenties after my oldest child was born. It helps to know that someone else knows what it's like. Hope things improve for you. Best of luck in your journey.

I have Sjogren’s too, and even though I tried my best to take care of my teeth, it affected them. Now, I can’t afford the $20,000 to get two teeth implants and a crown. I don’t know why insurance doesn’t cover teeth very well! Our mouths and teeth are the gateway to the health of our entire body!

Oh Shea…can totally relate. After having twins (my 2nd and 3rd kids), my teeth went downhill fast. Root canals, teeth removed, cracked teeth…one New Years Eve a tooth that I had a root canal on FELL OUT. I, too, avoid hard foods for the same reason. I DREAD going to the dentist, knowing there will be more bad news. Thank you for sharing.

It's something I don't talk to anyone about

Aww, same-a month after giving birth to my twins a tooth died and it was the worst pain of my life. I’d do all my births in a row again rather than have had the tooth pain. Thankfully a friend told me to pull it instead of the root canal which can channel bacteria to your bloodstream but it was awful.

He is in Miami My Endodontist is “best school” trained and recommended by my dentist. I have had “nice” dentist but I want “the best” to be providing my dental care.

I was a young widow and more recently on disability from complications of one surgery, which, due to treatment of that, they found I needed a completely unrelated, well, neurosurgery. It sounds like a lot, and in the moment, it felt really frustrating and upsetting and it was smack in the early stages of covid also. All the medical specialists, appts, waiting and tests, similar to your situation, was a maddening struggle. I can empathize with what you're talking about. I'm fully recovered now but literally what got me through was God and taking everything one dang day at a time❤

You made me realize that I’m not the only one with this issue and that I have to look for a solution to this problem ASAP. One of the reasons why I didn’t like to go to the dentist was because I was ashamed of my mouth but after seeing your video I went straight to my father and told him to set an appointment with the dentist. You’re not alone and I really hope that one day you post a video saying happily that you’ve overcame your teeth issues. Love u💕

My friend got over a rigorous round of chemo and radiation. At 45 she was lucky she survived. Hence massive weight loss. She got strong enough to join a gym. To promote muscle mass and destress. At the gym, a woman who thought she was a HBIC (high bish in charge), said to get "What are you working out so hard for, your a stick". My friend reached into her shirt and showed her port line. Then said with her voice that's now a whisper (due to radiation frying her vocal cords) "Cancer. Need to get stronger". NO ONE NEEDS TO COMMENT ON ANOTHER'S WEIGHT. it's rude and just because there's a revolution of "thicc chicks" doesn't mean a skinny person should be shamed. Sadly a year later her cancer is back. But yeah, it boils my blood when the body positive movement only applies to "curvy, slim thick" women.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Shea. I too have had the most bizarre and frankly, horrific, teeth issues since the age of 18. I don't know if this is comforting or anxiety producing for you, but just to share a few, I have had failed root canals, failed implants (including the screw ending up in my sinus and causing a significant infection requiring a lot of surgery), failed bone grafts, and most recently -- tooth resorption of my top front teeth, resulting in an 6 tooth crown. I too feel the anxiety every time I put something in my mouth, and pretty much every day I "feel" something in my mouth that gives me a wave of panic that something is cracking/going wrong.

I swear you’re describing me exactly! Pregnancy ruined my teeth as well. I ended up having complete, 100% implants. It changed my life Shea. My entire world flipped and I became happy. I didn’t know I was so miserable and controlled by my teeth. People who have never struggled with teeth cannot understand how real it is. I wish you all the best. You are not alone.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Same, except I was all set to do what you did - go full implants - within a couple of months but had a tooth suddenly abscess in the middle of the night without prior warning. I went to bed just fine and, within a few hours, I woke up with my face swollen so badly that my nose was displaced on my face and my eye was bulging. Once I had the emergency taken care of and the tooth removed, I went to implement my plan only to be talked into a series of “fixes” by the dentist. It was never-ending and I spent far more on it all than If I had just gone forward with my original plan. Now, a few years later, I’m left with gaps from missing teeth and teeth that keep shifting and it’s all a mess. And, since COVID decimated a lot of my investment accounts, I don’t feel like I can safely pour out all that money and just do my original plan. So I struggle on and avoid the dentist’s office which is the stupidest course of action of all! I know dentists always say you should try to hold onto your own teeth, but if they only cause you pain (physical and mental) and affect your “self” - your very being - I don’t understand that. When people have joints that are terribly painful and not functional, there’s no “You should try to hold onto your knee joint for life”! They do surgery to eliminate it and give you a replacement. Good for you, Sonya, for doing what you knew would work best for you. I’m so glad it worked out well and that you’re happy and able to eat a steak instead of a hamburger! 😉 Seriously though, Shea, it’s something to consider. Make that appointment with the implant specialist in CT and get his/her opinion. It might be life changing for you.

How do such severe dental issues connect with pregnancy? I've never heard of this happening, so I'm just interested, if you don't mind answering. How awful! I'm glad you are much happier now!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@ktrain-hj6jm The developing baby needs huge amounts of minerals and vitamins to build its body - bones, teeth, connective tissue, etc. Its nearly impossible for any mother to take in enough nutrition to maintain her own body as well as build a new little one. Enter prenatal vitamins which have increased amounts of those minerals in particular, as well as vitamins to try to boost what the mother can provide. If she is unable to take in (or keep down) enough nutrition or those prenatal vitamins, her body will pull those from the easiest sources internally - her teeth and bones - and the developing baby will pull the released minerals and vitamins for necessary growth. Our bodies do a constant balancing act, keeping things at equilibrium. For instance, when you take in too much sodium, your body makes you feel thirst so it can dilute that sodium and then your body expels it in urine to keep the equilibrium. And it’s balancing everything, redistributing, as best it can everyday.
