I had a couple of teeth removed when I was in my early teens because my teeth didn’t fit. Then the other jaw ended up with 2 wisdom teeth removed because there was not enough room for them to come through. I think the lower jaw was still a bit too crowded - all of the front teeth overlap and used to be jammed so tightly together I couldn’t floss. Since losing another couple of teeth in that jaw I think they’ve shifted a bit as I’m able to floss there now.
Feels. As a kid I had about 10 teeth taken out because my jaw was very small and my teeth were extra large. Left me with a lasting fear of dentists and a major needle phobia. Which led to major neglect for the next 40 years or so. I’ve just had my remaining teef pulled and been fitted with dentures. Huge relief. I cannot recommend Western Special Needs Dentistry highly enough. They were so damn good, helped me through the process despite the needle phobia. Completely non-judgy. They do a lot of repair work for people with phobias or other problems.
