1) you don’t look as swollen to most of us.
2) you sound really good with your speech.
3) praying for you.
Merry Christmas and a better new year wales uk 🇬🇧
After having tons of dental work. You look great. So far, it looks great! Make sure you can say each letter of the alphabet when it is finished. You're talking perfectly!
As a speech therapist your speech intelligibility is nearly 100% without and with the temporary teeth! You got this! Prayers for your healing journey ❤
I've worked in dentistry for 20+ years. You got this Shea!! I'm proud of you for taking care of this. You're in my prayers.
You’re proud of her for getting dental work…good grief your bar is about as low as it can be. What is she 3 years old?
@@marydumois4242you could just scroll. She meant well, she just worded it wrong.
You’re
Is sedation dentistry just an excuse for dentists to drug people they find attractive?
27 yrs in dentistry. You are amazing! All the stress, trauma, unknown, and you described the procedures, restorative steps and timeline like a trained professional.
You are a glowing example of “the student becomes the teacher.” You will impact so many by sharing your experience. Before you know it it will be in your rear view mirror, with so much anxiety lifted and an improvement in your health. Be beyond proud of yourself. XOXO
Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes to Shea, I've had jaw recontruction and although it's different than what she's going through it was a rough long recovery. It will pass, and you will be 100% better.
Check into detoxing heavy metals, especially mercury. I used activated charcoal capsules to assist in that way. ❤
Very well said!!
as a dentist, I 100% applaud you in your transparency and accurate dialogue. My heart goes out to you! hang in there;this is hard for a young person.
The support people are showing you is an indicator of how much compassion and empathy there is in people. It’s also a testimony to how people view you as a relatable, real, sweet person that they care about. The retainer looks amazing and beautiful. I hope your overall physical health improves soon! We are all rooting for you! ❤
Shea...I have been through EXACTLY this. It is toxins working out of your body!! But girl, you are doing FANTASTIC. Your healing is right on point. I agree with the retainer choice...it takes a long minute to get through something like this but you absolutely 100 percent are on the road to recovery. I am ALL the way on the other side..2.5 years..I want to say something that you are not going to believe. The memories of the toothaches?..SHEA THEY GO AWAY ! I went through almost the exact same thing as you for 12 years. Even the same teeth as the ones that were removed. Its hard to imagine how something that consumed my mind for years does not anymore. But I promise you are on your way to the same destination. You will be free
Bravo for being brave!! And thanks for sharing such a personal battle. You are an Overcomer❤
It’s coming together, Shea! Your dental team had to warn you of the “could happens,” but by and large those things don’t happen. You are staying as calm as possible. You’re trusting the process. You have thousands of people virtually holding your hand through this. It’s going to be okay.
The “Coach” joke was funny 😂 Wishing you a speedy healing and recovery. You’re brave for being honest and putting this out there … it’s traumatic 😔
This is your most important work yet, Shea! You are showing us with grace, vulnerability, candor & grace what is truly important in life. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you. You are truly using your gifts & talents in service of others. Holding you in prayer.
Don’t get anything done until you completely heal, I worked for a dentist for 10 years and the gums change, please wait. Your vanity is not important right now, you will be fine. Wait wait please
Yes, yes, yes! You will come to a place of acceptance, if you give it time. You won’t regret it.
Yes my husband had dentures and they wouldn't put his in for several months till he healed because they said they would have to be adjusted if they put them right in.
I am so happy for you! Still praying for you🙏Glad you are following your professional’s advice! It is a process & you are a trooper❤
Yay! You made a 180 when she put the temporary bridge in! Remember this is a process that takes time, but will be over before you know it. Sending you all the positive vibes. You got this Shae! -xo
I was in the dental field for 22 years. I’m proud of you and you’re doing great I promise!! Sending prayers up for your healing ❤️🩹
So proud of you being open, exposed, and taking us on this journey with you. It shows humility and a vulnerability we don't see from most content creators/influencers. God bless and prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏 ❤
You are blessed. Girl you can’t even tell mama. God is good. There’s no room for what ifs - that only heightens anxiety. ❤
You have made yourself so much more relatable by sharing this. I hate you are going through this at Christmas. I hope you get the results you are hoping for and are pain free! Merry Christmas!
Hang in there 😥 This is tough 🥺 You are stronger than you think❣️
To a fellow person who also has had many dental issues, you are so brave to share. Stay positive and strong! I know this may not be something you want to hear, but thank God for modern dentistry. As long as overall you’re healthy that is what is important. Prayers for a fast recovery.
I messaged you on IG but thank you so much for sharing your journey. I think more people struggle with dental issues than we know and is so encouraging and brave for you to share your story. If nothing else it has meant a lot to me. Thank you and I’ll be praying for your recovery.
A few yrs back I had my top four teeth removed. They put a retainer with four teeth in immediately. I wore it for 8 weeks for healing. Then they connected a bridge to my eye teeth to permanently fix. I've never looked better and feel better. Good luck with your journey.
Thank you for updating everyone. One day at a time Shea.
Don't throw away the retainer - keep it in case anything happens to the Maryland bridge and you can use it while repairs are made. Always good to have a back up ready! You did a great job taking us along with the process and I know have encouraged many with their dental problems. I am another who has been in the dental world since 1969, have had my share of traumatic issues and you are doing great! Ask your holistic dentist for supplements to reduce inflammation and any residual infection. I could give lots of advice on that, but it is her job to do it! Are you doing warm salt water rinses?
I hope you are on antibiotics for the infection.
Sweat Shea, thanks for taking us on your journey with you. I’m so glad you’re getting through the roughest parts so well. I just gotta say:
You’re the cutest visual for the song “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”!
We’re still “rooting” for you, dear!❤
Most of us are not even noticing much swelling. For day 2, you are doing amazing. The swelling will go down as you know. Give yourself the time you truly deserve. Merry Christmas!
as always, you are a doll, and I was so happy when you came on and had the bridge! The look of relief on your face said it ALL! I know your journey is far from over, but we are all here for you and you are NOT alone, and so many of us have been where you are!
I just want to hug you. First sending you healing energy, not just for your mouth, but for your spirit too. This is hard and scary. And second, your bravery and vulnerability sharing this is so powerful. For all of us with dental fear and anxiety that is causing us to delay similar treatments, this is so helpful. Not feeling alone means so much. Thank you. Wishing you and your family a bright holiday. ❤
When I had the 4 new front teeth, the temporaries looked better than my original teeth. My husband thought they were the final ones. You look great! This is going good! You've got this!!! Thnx for sharing the journey. You are helping people in your audience. ❤
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you're going through these trials and tribulations. These too shall pass ❤
I’ve been in dentistry for for 20 years and I am so proud of you for sharing your experience with everyone! You look great, sound good, and I think you are brave for teaching people about this. So many people don’t understand how much your oral health affects your overall health! We have patients coming in who haven’t been to the dentist in 10+ years and expect us to fix all the damage in a few appointments! Please anyone reading this take good care of your teeth! Good luck Shea not that you need it because you are stronger than you think! ❤
Saying this as a totally genuine compliment: how do you look so pretty especially mid video as someone who just had major surgery on their teeth, is bruised up, has no makeup on, and said they just got out of the shower and turned on your camera? Lol glad you are recovering, you’ve got this!
I had this done a while ago and have been living with a partial since. It's traumatic. But you did it!! The biggest relief is that it's done! Prayers for continued healing ❤
Hi Shea,
I watched one of your videos when you shared your teeth struggle. It hit home for me. I had such horror dentist stories that I didn’t take care of my teeth. I had such pain and I just struggled with it. I watched your video one day and I decided the next day to go to the dentist and my journey to better teeth health began. I had 2 dental surgeries and had an implant. I’m doing so much better. I don’t know why your story helped me but it did. You’re going to be ok. It may not be instant but you will get through this. . Hang in there. You got this.
You are so brave for putting this out there. You are doing good in handling this, better than what you think you are doing.❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. So many of us share your fears, and many people don't ever talk about these struggles. You've got this! ❤
Glad the retainer is doing the trick for now 🙏🏻 the fact that the swelling is going away and the discomfort is manageable is also a very good news 🙏🏻 hopefully the healing will be swift and you are doing amazingly ❤️
My husband loved & smiled about your coach comment, I live in East Liverpool 40 minutes from you. I knew he would get a kick out of it. I’ve had him watch you before a couple of times. I’ve had some similar things done. You are wise not to rush it. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Glad you’re progressing. 🎉
Thank you for being so vulnerable, this gives me strength to move forward with my dental nonsense ❤
Don't forget to remember this is temporary
Helps to go through all pains
You are so brave putting this out there for everyone. I think it is great and you are helping so many people. Prayers for you Shea! ❤❤
Shea, this series has shown your audience that there is so much more substance to you than just “fashion”. It makes you seem like one of “us” with real issues in life. So many on utube are so shallow and unrelateable. Please keep us updated. Merry Christmas to you and your family
By the way, I too have gone through similar issues, but mine were top and bottom
Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all this, especially at the holidays. Kudos to you for being brave enough to share. Prayers.
you're beautiful shea. healing is not linear, but you are doing it and you've got this. stay strong girly
It takes such courage to share what you are going through!! Thank you! You sharing this journey will help so many people who are scared about going through a similar situation!! I am so impressed with your dental facility, they are amazing with the work they do! Thank you again for all the updates!!!!! Xoxo p.s. you seem to be in much better spirits ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shea, thanks for posting this. It’s helpful to see someone with your influence be so vulnerable in this process. I really feel for you and your family during this time because the emotional, physical, mental, and financial load with dentistry is immense.
My husband and I are struggling with this same issue. My husband had severe periodontitis that has been eating away at his jaw bone for years. Due to a combination of anxiety, fear, previous poor outcomes, and financial inability we weren’t able to get him the care he needed. He’s lost nearly all of his molars and his jaw is in bad shape to the point where he is not a candidate for implants
We’re trying to take steps to try to get him to a place where his jaw is healthier and get him fake teeth. In total, our dentist and orthodontist projected it will take nearly 5 years and 30,000k. It feels nearly impossible with our situation; as we recently bought a house and found out I am pregnant with our first child.
To see you in recovery brings hope that miracles can happen. I wish you the best recovery and hope you get to eat the biggest burger with the biggest smile sooner than later
Be well ❤
I’ve watched your channel for a few years and I have always loved your energy and positivity. THANK YOU for being transparent about your journey. I know your message will be helpful to so many people! I have also gone through a dental journey and feel your frustration/anxiety/doubt. Positive vibes your way! You got this!!!
I think you sound perfectly normal. Had u not shared this, I think most of us wouldn't even know anything had happened w ur teeth. Thanks for sharing this with us tho
Dear Shea, it is so great for you to share it. So many people have problems with teeth and this makes it more “normal” to talk about it. I want to add to everyone else here who are saying that your speech is so much better than many people’s usual speech 😂 You also still look radiant and I cross my fingers this chapter will be closed soon so that you can carry on worry-free. You deserve it so much, I remember from your day one on TH-cam when you revealed that’s one of your biggest struggles. You got this, I’m cheering for you!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Oh, Shea. You look great so soon after this procedure! Your speech is clear! Your "fake" teeth look very natural to me.
Your body has been "sick" for a long time. In a few months, you'll be surprised at how much better you feel all over.
You can be proud of yourself for taking this big step to help your body heal! May God bless and keep you. ❤
Shea, your positive attitude in the face of adversity is so inspiring. You look beautiful even while going through this ordeal. You really do sound great! Sending prayers & all best wishes 🙏🏻🌟
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have had dental issues for the last 20 years, ever since I had my oldest daughter. So very similar to your story. I have not been able to afford to take care of what needs to be done. I have 2 broken teeth, one on each side, my four front bottom teeth (just like yours) have many issues and need deeper cleaning in the gums but I’m terrified that they will fall out once that is done. Money causes so many issues in dentistry for patients. I’m so glad that you have shared your story and show understanding and sympathy for those of us who are suffering as well and can’t afford to have things taken care of. Lots of love and healing thoughts your way. Please keep sharing, I love watching your videos!!
Oh sister. I want to give you a big hug. People who’ve never had extensive dental problems like this just cannot understand how awful it is 😞 Praying this is the hardest part and you heal quickly 🙏🏻
Praying for you! For swelling, pain, peace of mind and heart!!!
My husband went through this a few years ago. He was miserable. He did get the bridge and it has worked out great for him. Hang in there. You are stronger than you think. Sending love your way!
I don’t see the swelling or the bruising. When you smile you are as beautiful as always. So happy things are going better than you expected. Keep the faith, you got this!!
Proud of you. Even though you were so scared leading up to this, you showed great bravery... Not only in the procedure, but in sharing your anxiousness with us. You have definitely helped me. One day, I'll take care of my issues too... Thanks for this and you're doing great!
Your willingness to share this process is commendable. Hang in there, praying for you and sending get well vibes your way!
Praying for a complete recovery with zero complications. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your precious family.
I appreciate sooo much that you have shared this. It’s a process and it’s a big deal. Much love and prayers from Dominican Republic. ❤️
You speak so well with this bridge!
I am glad you decided to wait for better result.
To me, you are strong and gorgeous woman, as you always were 💜
Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Your fear and bravery is easing the fear of so many others. Proud of you!
You shine from the inside out. Your beauty is soul deep. You are going to come out better than ever. Still sending prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.
So glad to hear you’re not experiencing much pain. Trust the process ❤ thinking of you during this time
Hang in there. I think you’re doing great. You have every right to be upset and worry because teeth are important! My 12 year old grand daughter knocked her 11 year old sisters bottom teeth out last month and you’re an inspiration that there will be options for her if her teeth don’t live when they had put them back in. Keep breathing! You’ve got this.
Yay 🤍 glad you updated because I was legitimately worried lol and I think you’re so sweet for sharing your story with other people going through such a hard thing obviously
Shea, I have such a thing about teeth, it's really hard for me to watch you like this, I panic just thinking of your situation, can't even imagine what's going through it... Hope you feel better soon! And as the song says "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth" 😊
My goodness, Shea!!!! You are doing marvelously in such a short time!!!! You sound perfectly normal - maybe not to you, but to the rest of us, we can't tell you have had anything done. But, yes, it does do a number on your entire body. 7 years ago, I had to have what teeth I had left extracted and dentures placed. Unfortunately, the bottom denture has never fit, so there are lots of things I can't eat, but, like you - it could be so much worse!!! Keep following the instructions of your dentist and surgeon. Right now, this entire episode is front and center in your mind. Before long, you will wonder why you waited so long to get things done. I fully understand you don't believe that for a moment, but just wait - you will see. You remain in my prayers. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
The retainer looks amazing. We're with you Shea. Big hugs!
Conquering your fear while also taking the steps to heal... One day at a time! You got this Shea! I'm sending hugs
Great news that the temp worked! Now, on to the Maryland bridge and feeling better - we are all praying for you❤️
Shea, I can’t thank you enough for sharing this journey with us. My 73 year old husband is going to have almost the exact same thing done within the next year (except all of his remaining bottom teeth will be removed). Now he and I will know what to expect. You’ve got this and I am so proud of you for allowing us to follow along. ❤️👏🏼
My sister had the same thing done at the age of 77. My advice would be though to let it heal as much as you can don't worry about your vanity. She insisted on the bridge being put in immediately and it really set her back and there is a lot of infection that will be coming out at the end so keep taking the antibiotics
We appreciate you sharing your story with us Shea! Praying for this journey you’re on.🩷
The change in your spirit when you were able to get the teeth in was so great!!
Maryland bridges are great you’ll love it, it is what they did before implants and people used them for years and enjoyed them.
You sound amazing and super easy to understand, even without the little retainer. You’ve got this!
Thank you for filming this, Shea! What a process! The progress looks so good! The retainer does look great! Healing vibes coming your way! Merry Christmas to you and yours! ❤
Shea , you will be fine . You are going through a lot. Just talking about this subject speaks volumes.
So glad you seem to be doing much better. I’m so glad there hasn’t been to much pain. Road to recovery! ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Bless you and your family, Doll. Fear not. Be anxious for nothing.
Sooo glad your smile is back and you are feeling a little better and sharing with us! Continued healing and well wishes for a complete health recovery!!
Healing takes time Shea.. you got this... There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!! 💝❤❤
A fellow Pittsburgh gal here and love Bill Cower and you for your transparency. I was thrilled to see you looking so happy!!! Praying for you and all your future dental plans.
Keep going Shea! You will be just fine. So proud of you.
Thank you Shea for taking this journey and showing us all about it. I may have to do something like this in the future. Trying to keep it off for now, but like you said seeing you go through it it’s not as scary to me as it used to be so thank you thank you for that merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a blessed day.
It's not over yet and you don't feel great but the progress is amazing and we are very happy to see that you are getting better. We wish you the best! Much love ❤
"All I want for Christmas is my FOUR front teeth" 😉 You're doing fantastically well from a speaking point of view, if I didn't know I wouldn't be able to tell you had anything going on, nor that you were in pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery x
Be thankful to God... It could have been a whole lot worse for you, but I am GLAD you're doing better emotionally🙏🏿😊
I was just talking to my teen son about you. You popped right up here after! So happy to see you hanging in there! Thank you for updating us sweetheart❤❤❤
Still beautiful. Hang in there, Shea. Thank you for sharing your journey and know that many are praying for your health and healing.
I’ve always had weird teeth issues. When I was an infant they gave me tetracycline which made my permanent teeth discolored and ugly. I’m now 58 and finally got my two front teeth capped. When I was 8 years old none of my baby teeth were falling out and I had 15 teeth pulled, and 4 of them were adult teeth. And the empty space it created was so uncomfortable that I used my tongue to protect the space, which pushed my teeth out even more. With all that being said, I’m so glad you are getting this taken care of and don’t be too hard on yourself, it might take months for things to get back to normal. Or you might have a new normal. You’ve got this!
Shea, you got this. You look beautiful as always and a lot of us support and praying for you
Omg the false teeth look so good!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!🎉 I swear, it makes me emotional. I’m praying for that day for myself!!
I think you’re doing great! I was really surprised at how well, knowing how scared you were. I think the toughest part is over. Only up from here!🎉
You have great doctor(s) and lots of resources for the best care. You’ve got this! Looking forward to your normal, fantastic content!
It's a long process & you will have your ups & downs. You got this. Hang in there & Happy Belated Birthday!!
My heart goes out to you, Shea. You look like you’re in pain. Keeping you in my prayers.
Look at the bright side--you're wealthy enough to afford very expensive dental care.
When you said all I want for Christmas - I thought you were going to say your two front teeth 😅 thanks for being so transparent. Praying everything goes well with future procedures.
So brave to share this very personal story with us!
You look great and sound perfect!
So glad it's going in the right direction.
Continued prayers sweet Shea :)
Shea, I’m so sorry you’re going through this! The weekend of Thanksgiving, I had a fluke accident, fell, and chipped off both of my two front (top) teeth. It was devastating and has been a journey - still is! Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. You’ll get through this, and I somewhat understand what you’re going through! Sending you all good vibes ✨
Yea!!🎉 It sounds as though everything is going so well at this point. Praise God! Praying for continued healing and for spirits to be raised and feeling good. Much love❤
