I managed to hang onto them for over a year before I gave in and had them pulled. Of course that meant 20 HBO dives prior to and 10 after the extractions. I was not able to get dentures made after undergoing my third round of OC which removed half of my lower jaw. Its impossible to wear a denture if you only have half of your lower jaw for it to sit on. No matter what I look like now, inside Im still the same upbeat and optimistic person. I just know you will fare much better than I did.
