How does your smile make you feel now?
I am so embarrassed. Ashamed, stressed, sad. I don't know what it is like to smile. I don't know what it's like to not think about it. It's like a disease. One I can do nothing about. I have no photos of me smiling. I always cover up my teeth or not even go out cause I am afraid of what people might think. I developed agoraphobia (fear to leave safe places) last year due to never wanting to go out. It stinks. I just want to smile. For once. I NEED HELP.


What is the first thing you plan to do once you have your beautiful smile?
CRY!! Thank my dentist and your guys and God. THEN take a family photo with my son!! It would be the greatest moment of my life. I would take a photo with my whole family, the ones I got. Never be ashamed again! Take a deep breath! Smiles anchor your soul and they tell who you are. My church sign once said, SMILES ARE CONTAGIOUS. BE A CARRIER!
