I've lost a total of 8 teeth 😬😬😬😢

Dr. Carson of @orthodontics.ke joked that I've more gum than teeth, but I can't wait to begin my recovery journey! We will do 8 implants."

Terry Anne shared that her first experience was nasty as the dentist was drunk.

"Who loses 8 teeth ( at least 2 - 3 per pregnancy)My first extraction was the worst thing I've ever gone through, I think the dentist was drunk.

He was shaking, injected me in the wrong area and another dentist had to be called to do it. ( Kitale District Hospital).

Here's to a full smile and to that Nyama Choma I've so missed!

I'll be sharing my journey with @orthodontics.ke and can't wait also to get a cosmetic procedure for that dazzling smile cos I'm that extra, it's my birthday month!! 😁😊Mums, your experience?"
