This is going to sound odd. But I have been on a teeth journey for about 5 years. There have been gaps within that time. Anyway I had all my teeth removed. The bottom have implants with a denture fitted over the top. At the moment the upper jaw just has a standard denture . But I will also have implants on the upper jaw to eventually.

So the odd thing is i don't know how to smile. My natural teeth were awful so I never smiled hid them best I could. Not that you really can but I still tried. I guess I smile if someone makes me laugh . But I don't know how to smile for a camera.

I also don't know how to eat. When I look it up it says to eat with the back of your teeth and chew both sides. How do you chew on both sides ? I thought people had a preferred side to eat on. I also keep taking the bottom teeth out to eat because my mouth feels full.
