Why am I smiling?
My story
started when I was a child and we discovered that I was allergic to
Penicillin. I ended up with terrible tetracycline staining that included
a deep dark line on my teeth. To add to the problem my parents were
struggling and brushing my teeth wasn’t a priority.
Needless to
say my teeth went down hill very fast. I noticed this at an early age of
about five years old and taught myself not to show my teeth when I
smiled. This had a terrible affect on me and I ended up feeling like
everybody was better than me. I struggled but ended up with a sales job
where the sky was the limit.
I worked
hard and have done well for myself through the years. I had a lot to
smile about but continued do be embarrassed about my smile. I was
watching extreme makeover and in the back of my mind I told myself that
one day I was going to fix my teeth.
One day last year when
I had hired
a baby sitter and was talking to her, she mentioned that her mom
worked for a dentist. I told her about my “dream “of having my teeth
repaired. It was during this conversation that she highly recommended
that I see Dr. Williams.
I
visited Suwannee Dental to get an idea of the cost and about six months
later I decided that I was going to repair my teeth. So, within a half
year my teeth are perfect and I have learned to smile.
For the
first time in 38 years I no longer feel like people are better than
me. My confidence is high and I smile about everything. Thank you for
everything that you have done for me. The procedure has definitely
changed my life for the good!
