Hi, I’m Tra and I’m 19. At 17 I got a double root canal for both my front teeth due to a drinking accident and now have crown implants. The first year was fine and honestly I don’t remember much because I smoked my feelings and memories away, but 2 years later now I just can’t get past this feeling that the teeth aren’t mine. I have so much regret for what I did, and I can’t change anything about it. I have these moments where I’m hyper aware of the foreign object in my mouth and it feels so fake. I feel like I’m not me because they’re not my real teeth. I find myself getting overwhelmed And so worried my teeth will fall out some day. and it has even affected my relationship with my gf, I’ve had conversations with her where I tell her I don’t want to be with her because I won’t have front teeth in 10 years or even less. Everyday I feel like something different is going on with them, either I think they moved or I think I’m getting periodontal disease. And now as I scroll social media or even TikTok the first thing I catch myself staring at is teeth. And I don’t know if it’s just my mind freaking out but I just feel like teeth are the most important thing, a good smile can get you anywhere. But what if in 3 years my teeth just fall out and I have no money, then I’m stuck looking like I just lost to Apollo creed and nobody will take me serious, my life will be over. Does anyone else feel this way? Or is this just me overreacting? I feel like I need to say more context but I don’t know what else to ask or say, please feel free to ask any questions
