I Deserve a Crown


That is not really what I said....I cannot write here what I thought!!!  I am a clencher and a grinder.  I have lost all my molars on the bottom right side of my mouth and 2 on the top right.  I have a bridge on the top left because I broke all of those molars from clenching and grinding and now I am in danger of losing another molar that has multiple cracks in it.

I hold all my stress in my jaws, neck and shoulders.  I cannot tell you how many time my neck has gotten stuck and will not move from tension.  I don't necessarily feel stressed.  But evidently I am.  I have tried many ways to reduce the stress, yoga, prayer, meditation, etc....unfortunately I get stressed because I am not practicing these things regularly, well enough, properly, etc.etc. etc......

So in one hour, I am heading out to the dentist and becoming a queen for the day.  I will wear my crown proudly LOL.

  1. Egads! I hate going to the dentist. And I haven't been for quite some time. Kind of like going to the doctor. Good luck!!

    1. I bruxated right through my bite guard years ago and the insurance only pays for one per lifetime. Something else to stress about LOL.
