Okay, not world shattering for everybody, but wonderful to me. I have saved and saved to have expensive dental work done this year, and was fitted with dentures for my front teeth this morning. I look amazing! A mouthful of teeth for the first time in years. All the scrimping and saving was worth it.

Just to share my little bit of happiness with you.

Have a WONDERFUL Christmas everyone!!

Cheers

I think it's wonderful. It really makes a difference both in personal and public life. Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo.

Merry Christmas, mate! From your friends in the cold Northern Hemisphere! The Boner.

Thanks to all. It is HOT here Boner, a bar-b-que Christmas lunch tomorrow, with my NEW teeth to chew it with. Heh heh. You enjoy your white Christmas! I had those for many years too, and I miss the lovely silence that follows the snowfall. It was SO peaceful. But I must admit I LOVE wearing shorts and a (sinful) sleeveless shirt at Christmas dinner!

I'm a native Californian and have fond memories of going to the beach on Christmas. Some day, I hope to make it down under!

Enjoy your BBQ, shorts, loud laughter, and a cold one in honor of the Bone!

That's super, fluhist, a real plus for you, congrats!

Wonderful news. I have had some dental issues over the years and getting them fixed really helped with my confidence.

Merry Christmas back at you, fluhist! And thanks for sharing the wonderful news. So happy for you!

I'm glad for you, Fluhist! My students and I were reading today about how Australians enjoy barbeques, the beach, etc. at Christmas. It really made their eyes pop open. :)

I need an implant...$7000...fortunately the missing tooth is well back in my mouth so I do not look like a hillbilly! I am blessed to have a dental plan as a military retiree and will be getting some other teeth repaired in the new year where the fillings have fallen out.

Oh ya ... I have a new bridge..!! Couldn't be happier, but $3500 less in savings!

Delightful! Congratulations, fluhist, you must feel like a new woman!

Merry Christmas to you Down Under

Best

Good front teeth are so important. I lost one in an attack when I was in high school. I went through a series of bad replacements until I paid dearly for a Swedish-made ceramic prosthesis back in about 2005. Glad you feel whole again.

Well done! Oh, yes. Smile! :o))

Heck yeah, this is earth shattering! Good news is a precious rare find. Congratulations, sweet sheila! Broken, missing and otherwise damaged teeth are life impairing issues. I can't be happier for you and your new smile!

Thanks to everyone for your sweet responses. I was really touched! I had a lovely Christmas dinner with my new teeth, and although I am having to exuse myself to rinse them off after each meal, I am enjoying them. If that is all I have to do to have a healthy mouth and pretty smile, I couldn't be happier!

Summer, if there is some way I can help your students with their studies, I would be delighted to do so. Perhaps I could arrange a letter exchange with some students of the same age here or something? I will send an email to SusanI/C and let her know I am happy for you to have my email address. Contact me if you I can help.
