Hi, @rayshiuimages I popped across to read this post as I came across it while reading some ocd posts.

Found it interesting that you had all this done and there is definitely a big difference in both pictures.

If your in the UK and go to an NHS dentist the work is far cheaper, you pay a band and the most is like £700.

I had to have some work done, and that involved 14 teeth been removed from top and bottom, and false teeth, at the time I wasn't working so it was free for me to have the work done.

I remember one of my appointment, I had an abscess and antibiotics didn't take the swelling out. the lady dentist wanted me to go away and come back after another course of antibiotics.

I explained to her that, If I was to go home the chances of coming back was slim to none, so i went and had a tooth pulled out with no numbing needle.
It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, and it released the pressure I felt so good after.

When I think back about it now, I wish I had looked after my teeth better as I wouldn't have had as many problems with my teeth.

happy steeming. :D
