Shea 3 quick points: 1) You are so courageous to share this journey. 2) Your hubby is a real sweetheart for being by your side. 3) You’ve got this! Stay strong. Xo
I had my 9 1/2 baby at home with no meds but when I had my implants I had the worst pain EVER. It’s no joke…I made the mistake of immediate implants which failed because I had lost too much bone. Others that works great, but if you get the option for bone grafting and ozone, try it! I’m sending every bit of love and support I can to you! I am soooooo sorry you’re going through this, but we’re all supporting you! And more importantly, when you get those teeth out you are going to feel soooooo much better overall and your heart will be safer. I got IVs after to help with immune support, and that was really helpful. Hang in there sweet soul!! 😘😘😘 (PS. Might be too soon, but what other adult gets to sing “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…!” 🤓😘🥰)
Shea right now I am praying over you, over your dentists and technicians and everyone helping you through this time. I pray for complete and smooth healing, for a good report, and for this whole process to be a success, and most importantly for peace in your mind and heart in the name of Jesus!
Shea, you are so brave to document this hard time and your vulnerability. I think that from every bad experience one can learn and be of help or service to others, that’s what I like to tell myself in difficult moments. I am sure this will benefit someone who is going through the same thing. Hang in there! 💐
Shea, I had a deep cleaning done in two sessions and after the second cleaning they asked me if I want to have the 2 extractions done right then and there bc I was already numb. First I never had so many injections done in upper and lower jaw in my life (6-8 or more) Now I have TMJ with splitting headachs day and night. In and out of ER's, urgent care, PCP, ENT. Living every day and night on pain killers. I just hope dentist did not damage some nerves and it will eventually go away.Can't live forever on pain killers bc I am afraid of liver or kidney damage. A lot of people going through dental issues let's just pray together for a good outcome. Everyday will be a little bit easier. Love you and hang in there❤
@@kathitzegai1344Just wanted to say, I’ve been through my share of major dental issues, and I understand what you are going through! I am praying for you to get relief soon! ❤🙏🏼
I have worked in the dental field for over 25 years. The way you are feeling is very valid. I am thankful we have creators like you to be extremely transparent about your dental journey. You can still go out to eat with a flipper/retainer. You will become an expert on removing your flipper/retainer covertly in restaurants, just do it at the table with a napkin and put it in your purse as if you’re taking out a piece of gum. I assure you no one will see. Or excuse yourself once your food has arrived to “wash your hands” and take it out with privacy. Just make sure you keep your lips together on the way back to the table! Once you are finished eating just go back to the restroom and put it back in. Hope these tips help! I’ve been through it myself and know exactly how you are feeling.
I'm a dentist in Western PA and appreciate this video very much...a good insight for me. Thank you so much for doing this. You are INDEED very brave. So sorry this has come to such a young patient! {{{HUGS}}}
Shea, I have been crying all week. I am going through a really hard time, and I just wanted to let you know that you always cheer me up and make me feel better. Thanks for being brave enough to go on the internet, share your life, and for being a friend to so many people. 😊
What a blessing to have such a supportive husband during this struggle. The people we love are so integral in helping us through our really difficult times. You obviously have many people who care for you, a strong support system, caring and competent doctors, the where-with-all to have your needs provided, and the courage to endure. Many are praying for you. Try to rest and lean in to all of this love, concern, and support. Trust, rest, and heal. You are not alone.
You still look beautiful and your speech isn’t really too bad. I think it’s so brave of you to document this journey to help others who may go through something similar. Your feelings are totally valid. You’re going to get through this. You have so many prayers and positive thoughts going your way. Have a wonderful Christmas. 💞💞💞
Wow. This is just so unbelievably vulnerable and empowering to share this journey. So many of us struggle with intense shame, embarrassment, guilt and so many other compex feelings over our teeth... and its so much deep than vanity! Thank you so, so much for using your platform to normalize these issues... This is the kind of content i come to TH-cam for. To deep dive into all my guilty pleasures, of course, but to find content and creators who are really sharing things that make me feel seen, understood, and less alone. I have so much empathy for people who know this unique pain and frustration 💓 You've got this, girl!! 🫂🦸♀️
agreed! I had to have all of my teeth removed (I’m not as young as Shea. But I still don’t tell anyone) it’s so hard to look in the mirror without them, so I just don’t. I have only told my family and that’s about it.
@gwen08g35 my heart goes out to you! I can only imagine how difficult making that choice was and living with it day to day. You are absolutely beautiful, and you don't own anyone any explanations. You can share that chapter once you are at peace with it fully and ready to read it aloud [if you ever want to]. I wish you all the best! ❤️🩹
@@Madeline_Renee Thank you so much, that’s the sweetest comment I have ever gotten. You are absolutely lovely as well, and that absolutely made my day better. I wish everyone could be as positive as you.🥰
Shea- I’ve worked in emergency dental department for years. I have every sympathy for you, you are definitely not alone, there are millions of people in your situation. It’s a long process to have teeth replaced, and you are privileged to be in a situation to afford to get the treatment when many more can’t! Thank you for sharing to the world your experiences, I wish you the best in your journey, please please share your confidence in the dental profession and less of your fear! So many will be following your dental journey please use this as a way to inspire them to get the help that only those who have been fully trained and licensed to work in oral health can give. Eat healthy, follow his advice and also take a couple of weeks break from you tube, you will be feeling mentally and physically exhausted for a while as you recover. You will get there, I promise you! Happy (positive) New Year!
Hang in there honey! You got this! The healing process has begun and you’ll be chomping on that burger! Sending love and hugs and all the good juju! Remember the old proverb, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. You are already on your way! Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey. 💜
Just know that your feelings are normal and valid. Being apprehensive about something that feels scary and uncomfortable is ok. You will be fine in the long run as it seems like you are in very good & professional hands. We will be here cheering you on. ❤️💕
As someone who just went through this, one step at a time, it's frustrating, but in the end, you will feel a 💯 times better. Take it easy, and take your time!
Shea - I had similar work done at a young age and have no regrets. With the teeth removed I felt and looked so much healthier. It will take time but if you follow the doctor's advice you will feel better! I am so happy you have excellent care and support around you. Your videos, advice and spirit mean a lot to me! You have helped me a lot 😍
I am actually thrilled you are sharing this journey because you are empowering someone else to prioritize their health over how people perceive them. I just went through this last year and I was so nervous. Would have loved to seen your journey before I went through my own. (Meaning that I KNOW it will impact others to prioritize their health). Good for you for being brave enough to share.
We are praying for your complete healing and recovery! Sharing your journey will help encourage so many people around the world and we appreciate you being strong enough to be vulnerable. We love you Shea!
You did that awake?! Girl, you are a rockstar! I hope the dentist goes well tomorrow and you are out of pain soon. Thank you for documenting this. It is truly helpful, I have felt so alone on my own dental journey, so thank you for taking us with you. Sending love ❤
Yeah they numb you really well. I’ve had to have 3 different extractions😢I got novocaine and laughing gas, but the laughing gas doesn’t really help a ton imo.
This may be the second time I’ve commented, but I remember commenting many months ago when you encouraged people to get their check ups because of the issues you were having. You gave me courage to start thinking about it. Last night I was worried about my dental appointment the next morning (today, after 20+ years of avoiding due to a root canal gone bad). Seeing your video last night was just what I needed so that I wouldn’t freak out so much. Thank you for sharing - you are helping people with being so open! I wish you a speedy, healthy recovery.
Shea, we all love you and are praying for you. I really appreciate you posting this because I know you will help a lot of people. So many influencers only show the happy "Life is wonderful" side of their lives, and that's ok.......but you showing that life does have issues and how you are dealing with them is real. You are a real person, and we all love you! I am saying healing prayers for you right now. Please hang in there and keep us updated! I feel like you are a friend and I want good things for you! Love, Robin
I could hear the fear in your voice. Remember, it is a process, you are set up for the best path. YOU GOT THIS. Josh is so supportive. BTW, after the procedure, your speaking was easy to understand. As your dentist texted--let the healing begin. The bravery you showed by sharing this is amazing. I shall be watching your journey as I fear I may have to travel a similar path in the future-without the support you have. But I am strong and will get thru what I need to if it occurs.
You said exactly what I came here to say 😂. I have a similar dental history, and similar journey ahead of me. Grateful for Shea sharing her journey with her followers, and being real with us. It is a long journey of healing, but she's on the right path, and seems to be in good hands, with her dental team, and her family.
Omg you are SO BRAVE and so selfless and strong to share with us Shea! Also what wonderful supportive people surround you! I know your story will help so many people. Think healing thoughts, be good to yourself! You’re going to do amazing, I believe it!
Shea, you are so brave to take your viewers on this journey with you. Imagine how many people you’re helping by doing this, you’re such an inspiration! I’ve had my fair share of dental issues over my life, and I’ve found that it’s best that I be as positive as possible. No fear, is my motto! Sending you Love & Light, and prayers for a speedy recovery. ☮️💖🙏
You are a courageous woman to share this. Josh is very supportive which will help a lot in your recovery. It's perfectly fine to be vulnerable & feel how you do. Hang in there. You got this!!
I went through a 2 years process because my implant failed 2x. I def empathized what you are going through. Teeth issues aren’t fun either. Hang in there. You’ve got a supportive community here. We will watch your videos with or without teeth. You are very brave to be vulnerable with your audience. Stay positive and sounds like you’ve got great dentists.
me too! the bone grafting was so intense, I had to have two surgeries to build up enough bone to have yet another implant but I'm grateful the procedure exists that I could benefit from ...tho I do live in fear I may have to go thru it again even tho I'm hyper diligent on my diet and dental hygiene. I opted to be put to sleep for the bone grafting. Is there anything you are doing additionally to try to keep from another implant failure?
It’s so wonderful to see how supportive your husband is and how compassionate the professionals that are working on your mouth are🫶🏻 I truly believe that you are in good hands and I wish you the best❤️🩹 you’re so brave to document this and I’m sure you will be better soon
Shea, you did it!!! Thank you so much for filming this to let us know you are ok!!! You show us products weekly, but that your viewers care so much is because you are a very sweet and kind person! I am so GLAD YOU ARE OK!!! I found myself thinking, the last couple days … I HOPE SHE LETS US KNOW SHES OK. And then there you were today, smiling and your husband right next to you! I love it. And you were cheery and smiling I. The end, and so happy to hear the dentist saying you will eat a hamburger! You are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely! Well said! Feel so bad, but seeing you today gives me hope. You spoke of cancer. Two bouts here myself. I always tried to stay brave and positive. It’s not easy. But you did it! And you will continue to be brave to put this pain behind you. Don’t ever say , things could be worse. We all know things can be worse. You all have our worlds, this is yours. And know you have tremendous support. You exude strength. So happy to see your loving and caring husband at your side. Both of you smiling. It’s wonderful to see. Sending continued healing vibes your way! ❤
Shea, when I started watching you, I thought here’s a beautiful lady with a perfect life…. Watching this video, I couldn’t stop the tears. Bless you for sharing this. I am so glad you got the problem teeth out and the healing has begun!
I really appreciate you filming this. I grew up in foster care, With horrible dental care. now that I’m in my 30’s I’m struggling to get it fixed. I’ve had three teeth removed. I had a root canal. My tooth still hurts and I can’t afford anything else. My teeth keep chipping. This made me feel so much better cuz I see I’m not alone. I hope it goes well and you continue to film it.
I know how you feel. Been having dental problems since I’m 12. I’ve had more root canals than I can count. Some so bad that I had to bear unbelievable pain until they could put Novocain down into the root. Now after replacement bridges, posts & crowns I thought I would be ok in my senior years but after COVID I was encouraged to get the booster shot so I got the Moderna vaccine & I have never been the same. I’ve lost my smell & taste. I’ve had new bridges, less than a year old, becoming infected & little by little I lost a lot of my teeth after sufferings through infection after infection. I’ve gone through all my saving & now they say I have bone loss & needed cadaver bone to rebuild bone yet the still want to put in implants with no guarantee it will work. Since I don’t the money for implants I got false teeth on the top except for a few front. My mouth hurts 24/7. My tongue is always crack & red, I bite my front lips all day & look like I had a bad lip job. Roof of my mouth is so sore & denture is pushing my two front forward & one is so loose I doubt if it will make it through 2024. Implants are not covered by insurance so I am up shits creek. I’ve also had to have sinus surgery because teeth are a part of the sinuses. Who knew? I am resigned to be miserable for the rest of my life….. I will be praying for you & wish you the best of health besides a year goes quickly & you don’t have to wear the bottom thingy unless you go out or are filming. The winter is here so wear turtlenecks or scarves & no one will even notice.
Hang in there, sweetie. ❤ You’re in good hands and the hardest part is over. I think it’s very brave of you to share this part of your life. This is another reason why we all love you. Take care.
Shea! You looked and sounded much better than I expected. Your team and family are so supportive too. Hopefully the weeks will fly by and you’ll be at least pain-free soon. Although it’s a long process, at least it’s an upward progression and next year at this time you’ll be almost as good as new. We’re praying and sending healing vibes your way❤️
My Christmas wish is that your teeth issues are over in 2024. My mother had to have all of her teeth removed in her mid 20's and the vanity aspect of it has defined her. You are so brave and I'm sending you nothing but well wishes.
As someone who has worked in dentistry for 10 years I just appreciate you sharing your journey ❤ You are so courageous. The journey may be long but will be so worth it 🙏🙌
Wow you are my most favorite influencer. To give us all such insight to your real life really shows that you are one of the most raw and genuine people on the internet. Sending love and prayers for you. Feel better soon!
You made it through step 1, still numb I know, but you honestly sound really good! Josh is wonderfully supportive and sweet and I’m sure that things will be so much better with your family’s support. Hang in there - I’m keeping you in my prayers Shea! 💜💜💜
Shea, I'm sending love and so many positive and healing vibes. I honestly believe this is the hardest hurdle and I am hoping each next step is not only easier and less painful but also that each step comes a bit sooner than is expected. You have an awesome community here thinking of you and you can easily see how supportive Josh is and how much he loves you. Thank goodness for love🩷
I'm in awe of your strength & vulnerability through this journey. I can't imagine how scary all this has been for u but here u are on the other side of the first step to healing. Ur an amazing woman, you've got this...and I can't thank u enough for sharing this with us!!!!
Teeth are such a stressful thing! I've been through it, too. I've gone through the extraction, bone graft, and implant process and I was so nervous about it not going well or being painful or failing, but it was smooth sailing and not painful at all other than paying the bill. Thinking of you as you go through this. It will soon be just an old memory - I'm confident you're going to come through this!
You're such a warrior going through this and the fact you're filming this to help others feel not alone who are also experiencing this. I appreciate it. I will be going through the same procedure soon but with my upper teeth. We can be vampires together. :)
Hello Shea! I just wanted to say I just felt this in my soul. I had an implant done on one of my top teeth in the front and I was terrified. It’s been a 2 year long ordeal and I finally went yesterday and got fitted for my permanent crown and I can’t tell you the relief I felt. Hang in there babe! I haven’t been able to bite into food for years.. I know so much how you feel. 💖💖 you’re so strong for sharing this.
Shea, I had to have my 4 top front teeth removed. It’s horrible physically, emotionally and let’s not even get into the financial burden. I never know if my new teeth will last a month, a year, a few years or a lifetime. Nevertheless, your story really resonated with me so I had to comment. Wishing you the absolute best. You’ve got this.
Stay strong, Shea. Lionhearted, courageous and fearless, you have support in all area's, including us here. Sending you positive vibes, let the journey begin, you've got this.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I work at a denial implant manufacturing company and its important to see a patients perspective. I really comend you for using your experience to help inform others. You have a great support system between your husband and your doctors!
I'm so sorry Shea, this is all happening at the most inconvenient time of year but now you're on the path to healing and feeling better. Hopefully this time next year it will all have been worth it. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable with us.
I know it’s hard and scary now but it will all be worth it. You’re one step closer to healing! You’re so brave for documenting your journey. Thank you for sharing and I hope you start to feel better soon,
All your followers are sending love and healing thoughts. It's natural to be scared but it will be OK. You are being very courageous in sharing such a difficult situation with us. ❤️
You have such a gift, I’ve cried about your situation and I’ll never meet you. You make each of us feel like we are friends, and for that, we are grateful. Praying 🙏
Understandable why you’re scared. Feel what you feel, my dear. My daughter had similar issues and she is doing great! You’re healing is starting. Bless you and know we are all offering love and support.
Shea, I’m one of your subscribers and I know of your teeth issues. I will pray for you. Stay strong. You are brave. These are life hurdles but nothing can stop you from shining.🌟
Shea, I could understand every word you said perfectly! I didn’t even have to squint to hear you! We are with you through this whole process with our love, support, prayers and good wishes! Just keep imagining biting into that burger! Eyes on the prize, Shea! You’ll get there!
Saying a prayer for you Shea. You’ve got this and one day you’ll be so thankful this was all done and you’ll feel much better I’m sure. Wishing you an easy, pain free recovery.❤️❤️
Thank you for being transparent Shea! You got this! Know that you are very much loved n respected. Take care of urself first and foremost. We will be here waiting for you no matter.
Praying for you Miss Shea... We Love you! I love watching your vlogs... take it one day and one thing at a time. That's what I always tell my 99 year old patient 😇
Shea, I applaud your braveness sharing this with the world! Even in the scariest and painful of moments you are still cracking jokes. This is why I watch your channel❤. Sending many healing prayers!
First of all, you and your husband make a beautiful couple --on many levels. Second of all, you are so brave to share this with us. My prayer for you is that the healing process goes by quickly and you get a healthy end result that you are comfortable with. Stay strong and focus on what you do have instead of what you don't have--remember this is temporary and you are on the road to great result. Sending love and light and wishing you a glorious holiday with your family.
Shea, I’m praying for you and Josh and your family as you go through this intense healing journey. I had 9 oral surgeries, bone grafts, sinuses lift, extraction, and implant. I know what a pain this is and this is x4 and right in front for you. I’m so glad you have such an incredible team. The fact they are also being willing to be recorded and be part of sharing this journey is so helpful and educational for so many. When I went through this it was before TH-cam. So I know you will help others through sharing your story. Thanks for being vulnerable. Praying and praying for you to be at PEACE and trust Jesus with the outcome. ❤
I’ve been down that road with my upper teeth. The process seems endless but that’s what it takes to do it right. When it’s all done you will love it! 💕
You are such an inspiration. Your teeth problems aren't stupid and your feelings are completely valid. Even though you don't care, with or without those teeth I honestly think you're one of the most beautiful women I've seen (I mean it). Your husband is such a blessing, God bless your relationship. I'll be praying for you. (also I usually NEVER comment on social media but i've been following you for so long and felt compelled to write these words). God bless you and heal you at the soonest
Aw Shea I love that you are documenting your journey not just for us but for you. When this is all over and you can bite into that burger your going to be able to watch these videos and say I’m so glad I did this ❤❤
I’ve been thinking about you all week and praying for you!! I’m so encouraged by your bravery, and I’m also impressed by how well you can talk right after! Baby steps. I will keep praying!❤️❤️
You talk beautifully. So much better than expected. You will be fine and better than ever soon. So lucky to have him by your side. The hard part is now over.
I've been through this year-long process *much the same situation as you after the birth of my son* and it's completely worth it. You'll be so glad and I can tell you it really wasn't so bad at all. You sound great btw...much better than I did two hours after my procedure. You've got this!
I just caught your update. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! Considering what today held for you, you sound great. It honestly doesn't look bad. Tomorrow will be a little different, but things will only get better from there. On a side note, I am so homesick for West Virginia, your shoot outside made me feel halfway there, I go through the 'sburgh each time home. Try to sleep well tonight. We will all keep the prayers for you on our breath.
Shea it isn't vanity. I completely understand. I had braces in my 40's, and it screwed up my teeth and gums. It is loosing your teeth and it is miserable to be in pain. I suffer with mine. I even have bad dreams about my teeth. I am praying for you today that the pain you are in will be healed by our Lord. You will have beautiful teeth again. You are beautiful! Your husband is not only handsome, but very sweet. I can tell he loves you so much!
Teeth problems are the absolute worst. Doesn’t matter how tough you are, everyone is down when their teeth aren’t right. Wishing you proper and full healing! 🙏🏻
So sorry you are going through this, I went through something similar, years of dental work, a dental implant that fell out, bone loss, cavities, root canals, etc. I'm praying in Jesus name for your complete healing and recovery, and for return back to normal use and eating, thank you for sharing such a personal thing, hang in there!!! Praying for quick recovery!!!! 🙏♥

Any chance this bone loss with tooth issues could be signs of Osteopenia/ Osteoporosis?
😮😮😮
I love what you do on your channel . I love everything you share on you tube. It is a struggle for me to watch you struggle. Good luck!! 🎉

Remember the old proverb, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. You are already on your way! Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey. 💜
Just know that your feelings are normal and valid. Being apprehensive about something that feels scary and uncomfortable is ok. You will be fine in the long run as it seems like you are in very good & professional hands. We will be here cheering you on. ❤️💕
As someone who just went through this, one step at a time, it's frustrating, but in the end, you will feel a 💯 times better. Take it easy, and take your time!
Shea - I had similar work done at a young age and have no regrets. With the teeth removed I felt and looked so much healthier. It will take time but if you follow the doctor's advice you will feel better! I am so happy you have excellent care and support around you. Your videos, advice and spirit mean a lot to me! You have helped me a lot 😍
I am actually thrilled you are sharing this journey because you are empowering someone else to prioritize their health over how people perceive them. I just went through this last year and I was so nervous. Would have loved to seen your journey before I went through my own. (Meaning that I KNOW it will impact others to prioritize their health). Good for you for being brave enough to share.
We are praying for your complete healing and recovery! Sharing your journey will help encourage so many people around the world and we appreciate you being strong enough to be vulnerable. We love you Shea!
You did that awake?! Girl, you are a rockstar! I hope the dentist goes well tomorrow and you are out of pain soon. Thank you for documenting this. It is truly helpful, I have felt so alone on my own dental journey, so thank you for taking us with you. Sending love ❤
Yeah they numb you really well. I’ve had to have 3 different extractions😢I got novocaine and laughing gas, but the laughing gas doesn’t really help a ton imo.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you! You are very brave to share this with us!! Thank-you
This may be the second time I’ve commented, but I remember commenting many months ago when you encouraged people to get their check ups because of the issues you were having. You gave me courage to start thinking about it. Last night I was worried about my dental appointment the next morning (today, after 20+ years of avoiding due to a root canal gone bad). Seeing your video last night was just what I needed so that I wouldn’t freak out so much. Thank you for sharing - you are helping people with being so open! I wish you a speedy, healthy recovery.
Shea, we all love you and are praying for you. I really appreciate you posting this because I know you will help a lot of people. So many influencers only show the happy "Life is wonderful" side of their lives, and that's ok.......but you showing that life does have issues and how you are dealing with them is real. You are a real person, and we all love you! I am saying healing prayers for you right now. Please hang in there and keep us updated! I feel like you are a friend and I want good things for you! Love, Robin
I could hear the fear in your voice. Remember, it is a process, you are set up for the best path. YOU GOT THIS. Josh is so supportive. BTW, after the procedure, your speaking was easy to understand. As your dentist texted--let the healing begin. The bravery you showed by sharing this is amazing.
I shall be watching your journey as I fear I may have to travel a similar path in the future-without the support you have. But I am strong and will get thru what I need to if it occurs.
I feel this will be my journey also
You said exactly what I came here to say 😂. I have a similar dental history, and similar journey ahead of me. Grateful for Shea sharing her journey with her followers, and being real with us. It is a long journey of healing, but she's on the right path, and seems to be in good hands, with her dental team, and her family.
Me too! She makes me feel better.
Omg you are SO BRAVE and so selfless and strong to share with us Shea! Also what wonderful supportive people surround you! I know your story will help so many people. Think healing thoughts, be good to yourself! You’re going to do amazing, I believe it!
Sending prayers!
Thank you for posting and letting us know your procedure went well. Everyone here supports you and prayers for a speedy recovery. ❤
Shea, you are so brave to take your viewers on this journey with you. Imagine how many people you’re helping by doing this, you’re such an inspiration! I’ve had my fair share of dental issues over my life, and I’ve found that it’s best that I be as positive as possible. No fear, is my motto! Sending you Love & Light, and prayers for a speedy recovery.
☮️💖🙏
You are a courageous woman to share this. Josh is very supportive which will help a lot in your recovery. It's perfectly fine to be vulnerable & feel how you do. Hang in there. You got this!!
I went through a 2 years process because my implant failed 2x. I def empathized what you are going through. Teeth issues aren’t fun either. Hang in there. You’ve got a supportive community here. We will watch your videos with or without teeth. You are very brave to be vulnerable with your audience. Stay positive and sounds like you’ve got great dentists.
me too! the bone grafting was so intense, I had to have two surgeries to build up enough bone to have yet another implant but I'm grateful the procedure exists that I could benefit from ...tho I do live in fear I may have to go thru it again even tho I'm hyper diligent on my diet and dental hygiene. I opted to be put to sleep for the bone grafting. Is there anything you are doing additionally to try to keep from another implant failure?
It’s so wonderful to see how supportive your husband is and how compassionate the professionals that are working on your mouth are🫶🏻 I truly believe that you are in good hands and I wish you the best❤️🩹 you’re so brave to document this and I’m sure you will be better soon
Shea, you did it!!!
Thank you so much for filming this to let us know you are ok!!!
You show us products weekly, but that your viewers care so much is because you are a very sweet and kind person!
I am so GLAD YOU ARE OK!!! I found myself thinking, the last couple days … I HOPE SHE LETS US KNOW SHES OK. And then there you were today, smiling and your husband right next to you! I love it. And you were cheery and smiling I. The end, and so happy to hear the dentist saying you will eat a hamburger! You are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely! Well said! Feel so bad, but seeing you today gives me hope. You spoke of cancer. Two bouts here myself. I always tried to stay brave and positive. It’s not easy. But you did it! And you will continue to be brave to put this pain behind you. Don’t ever say , things could be worse. We all know things can be worse. You all have our worlds, this is yours. And know you have tremendous support. You exude strength. So happy to see your loving and caring husband at your side. Both of you smiling. It’s wonderful to see. Sending continued healing vibes your way! ❤
You are really brave and so glad to see all the support! Prayers for your speedy recovery Shea!❤❤❤
Shea, when I started watching you, I thought here’s a beautiful lady with a perfect life….
Watching this video, I couldn’t stop the tears. Bless you for sharing this. I am so glad you got the problem teeth out and the healing has begun!
I really appreciate you filming this. I grew up in foster care, With horrible dental care. now that I’m in my 30’s I’m struggling to get it fixed. I’ve had three teeth removed. I had a root canal. My tooth still hurts and I can’t afford anything else. My teeth keep chipping. This made me feel so much better cuz I see I’m not alone. I hope it goes well and you continue to film it.
You got this Shea! I’ve had a lot dental issues over the years and I appreciate you sharing your journey. I’m sure it will help and encourage many.
I know how you feel. Been having dental problems since I’m 12. I’ve had more root canals than I can count. Some so bad that I had to bear unbelievable pain until they could put Novocain down into the root. Now after replacement bridges, posts & crowns I thought I would be ok in my senior years but after COVID I was encouraged to get the booster shot so I got the Moderna vaccine & I have never been the same. I’ve lost my smell & taste. I’ve had new bridges, less than a year old, becoming infected & little by little I lost a lot of my teeth after sufferings through infection after infection. I’ve gone through all my saving & now they say I have bone loss & needed cadaver bone to rebuild bone yet the still want to put in implants with no guarantee it will work. Since I don’t the money for implants I got false teeth on the top except for a few front. My mouth hurts 24/7. My tongue is always crack & red, I bite my front lips all day & look like I had a bad lip job. Roof of my mouth is so sore & denture is pushing my two front forward & one is so loose I doubt if it will make it through 2024. Implants are not covered by insurance so I am up shits creek. I’ve also had to have sinus surgery because teeth are a part of the sinuses. Who knew? I am resigned to be miserable for the rest of my life…..
I will be praying for you & wish you the best of health besides a year goes quickly & you don’t have to wear the bottom thingy unless you go out or are filming. The winter is here so wear turtlenecks or scarves & no one will even notice.
Shea, you are so brave, strong, and courageous. Thank you for keeping us posted. Prayers for continued strength and healing🙏
Hang in there, sweetie. ❤ You’re in good hands and the hardest part is over. I think it’s very brave of you to share this part of your life. This is another reason why we all love you. Take care.
This is what “Bless your heart” was created for. So bless your and Godspeed
Shea! You looked and sounded much better than I expected. Your team and family are so supportive too. Hopefully the weeks will fly by and you’ll be at least pain-free soon. Although it’s a long process, at least it’s an upward progression and next year at this time you’ll be almost as good as new. We’re praying and sending healing vibes your way❤️
Thanks for sharing Shea ❤ You've got a lot of people rooting for you! Thanks for bringing attention to this ❤
Wishing you a full speedy recovery, stay strong Shea! You got this!
My Christmas wish is that your teeth issues are over in 2024. My mother had to have all of her teeth removed in her mid 20's and the vanity aspect of it has defined her. You are so brave and I'm sending you nothing but well wishes.
As someone who has worked in dentistry for 10 years I just appreciate you sharing your journey ❤ You are so courageous. The journey may be long but will be so worth it 🙏🙌
Wow you are my most favorite influencer. To give us all such insight to your real life really shows that you are one of the most raw and genuine people on the internet. Sending love and prayers for you. Feel better soon!
You made it through step 1, still numb I know, but you honestly sound really good! Josh is wonderfully supportive and sweet and I’m sure that things will be so much better with your family’s support. Hang in there - I’m keeping you in my prayers Shea! 💜💜💜
Shea, I'm sending love and so many positive and healing vibes. I honestly believe this is the hardest hurdle and I am hoping each next step is not only easier and less painful but also that each step comes a bit sooner than is expected. You have an awesome community here thinking of you and you can easily see how supportive Josh is and how much he loves you. Thank goodness for love🩷
Praying for a safe and pain free recovery. You got this Shea!!!
One part done. Now rest and don’t worry so much. We have some really gifted doctors and dentists. Xoxo
Let us support you through this! You’ve got this and are helping others by sharing your journey!
I'm in awe of your strength & vulnerability through this journey. I can't imagine how scary all this has been for u but here u are on the other side of the first step to healing. Ur an amazing woman, you've got this...and I can't thank u enough for sharing this with us!!!!
Thank you for bringing us along the journey, all your subscribers are here for you and sending nothing but positive vibes and support Shea!!!
Teeth are such a stressful thing! I've been through it, too. I've gone through the extraction, bone graft, and implant process and I was so nervous about it not going well or being painful or failing, but it was smooth sailing and not painful at all other than paying the bill. Thinking of you as you go through this. It will soon be just an old memory - I'm confident you're going to come through this!
You're such a warrior going through this and the fact you're filming this to help others feel not alone who are also experiencing this. I appreciate it. I will be going through the same procedure soon but with my upper teeth. We can be vampires together. :)
Hello Shea! I just wanted to say I just felt this in my soul. I had an implant done on one of my top teeth in the front and I was terrified. It’s been a 2 year long ordeal and I finally went yesterday and got fitted for my permanent crown and I can’t tell you the relief I felt. Hang in there babe! I haven’t been able to bite into food for years.. I know so much how you feel. 💖💖 you’re so strong for sharing this.
Shea, I had to have my 4 top front teeth removed. It’s horrible physically, emotionally and let’s not even get into the financial burden. I never know if my new teeth will last a month, a year, a few years or a lifetime. Nevertheless, your story really resonated with me so I had to comment. Wishing you the absolute best. You’ve got this.
Stay strong, Shea. Lionhearted, courageous and fearless, you have support in all area's, including us here. Sending you positive vibes, let the journey begin, you've got this.
I'm glad you have a friend to help you through this. Thank you kind sir.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I work at a denial implant manufacturing company and its important to see a patients perspective.
I really comend you for using your experience to help inform others. You have a great support system between your husband and your doctors!
I'm so sorry Shea, this is all happening at the most inconvenient time of year but now you're on the path to healing and feeling better. Hopefully this time next year it will all have been worth it. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable with us.
Everything will work out babe, I'll keep you in my prayers a year goes by fast ❤
I know it’s hard and scary now but it will all be worth it. You’re one step closer to healing! You’re so brave for documenting your journey. Thank you for sharing and I hope you start to feel better soon,
You are a ROCKSTAR!!! You Got This!! Healing and recovery is now the focus.
Praying for you!!! For peace, confidence and for you to feel ALL THE LOVE! You sound great and still look gorgeous!
All your followers are sending love and healing thoughts. It's natural to be scared but it will be OK. You are being very courageous in sharing such a difficult situation with us. ❤️
So sorry you're having to go through this, Shea! Definitely no fun. Praying you heal and feel much better quickly!!!
You have such a gift, I’ve cried about your situation and I’ll never meet you. You make each of us feel like we are friends, and for that, we are grateful. Praying 🙏
Understandable why you’re scared. Feel what you feel, my dear. My daughter had similar issues and she is doing great! You’re healing is starting. Bless you and know we are all offering love and support.
Praying for Shea! You can get through this in Jesus name.
Praying for you Shea🙏🙏 You've got this & more importantly, God's got this!! I love how supportive your hubby is. My hubby is the same way!💕
We need more of this. People being real on social media. ❤ Sending you healthy, healing vibes! 🌈
Shea, I’m one of your subscribers and I know of your teeth issues. I will pray for you. Stay strong. You are brave. These are life hurdles but nothing can stop you from shining.🌟
You poor thing, pray you recover quickly and fully. Looks like you have a major support system. Your husband is very handsome!
Shea, I could understand every word you said perfectly! I didn’t even have to squint to hear you! We are with you through this whole process with our love, support, prayers and good wishes! Just keep imagining biting into that burger! Eyes on the prize, Shea! You’ll get there!
Everything will work out ❤ hang in there !!
Saying a prayer for you Shea. You’ve got this and one day you’ll be so thankful this was all done and you’ll feel much better I’m sure. Wishing you an easy, pain free recovery.❤️❤️
I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this. Praying that you will be ok and have a full recovery. 🙏
Thank you for being transparent Shea! You got this! Know that you are very much loved n respected. Take care of urself first and foremost. We will be here waiting for you no matter.
You’re so brave to share this with the world. I’ve been having teeth issues since I had my son as well. Sending you healing vibes. Hugs!
Praying for you Miss Shea... We Love you! I love watching your vlogs... take it one day and one thing at a time. That's what I always tell my 99 year old patient 😇
Shea, I applaud your braveness sharing this with the world! Even in the scariest and painful of moments you are still cracking jokes. This is why I watch your channel❤. Sending many healing prayers!
First of all, you and your husband make a beautiful couple --on many levels. Second of all, you are so brave to share this with us. My prayer for you is that the healing process goes by quickly and you get a healthy end result that you are comfortable with. Stay strong and focus on what you do have instead of what you don't have--remember this is temporary and you are on the road to great result. Sending love and light and wishing you a glorious holiday with your family.
My husband needs his bottom teeth pulled for the same type of process. Thank you for sharing your journey. Praying for absolute healing for you.
Shea, I’m praying for you and Josh and your family as you go through this intense healing journey. I had 9 oral surgeries, bone grafts, sinuses lift, extraction, and implant. I know what a pain this is and this is x4 and right in front for you. I’m so glad you have such an incredible team. The fact they are also being willing to be recorded and be part of sharing this journey is so helpful and educational for so many. When I went through this it was before TH-cam. So I know you will help others through sharing your story. Thanks for being vulnerable. Praying and praying for you to be at PEACE and trust Jesus with the outcome. ❤
What a rough time to have this done. Hang in there sweetie. Sending prayers and hugs.
I’ve been down that road with my upper teeth. The process seems endless but that’s what it takes to do it right. When it’s all done you will love it! 💕
Poor you sweetheart. Hoping you heal quick! Glad you have a supportive partner, dentist and orthodontist.
You are such an inspiration. Your teeth problems aren't stupid and your feelings are completely valid. Even though you don't care, with or without those teeth I honestly think you're one of the most beautiful women I've seen (I mean it). Your husband is such a blessing, God bless your relationship. I'll be praying for you. (also I usually NEVER comment on social media but i've been following you for so long and felt compelled to write these words). God bless you and heal you at the soonest
You are so brave to take us on this journey with you. ❤️
You’ve got this huni ❤ we are praying for your good health ❤
Aw Shea I love that you are documenting your journey not just for us but for you. When this is all over and you can bite into that burger your going to be able to watch these videos and say I’m so glad I did this ❤❤
Think at the end result! You’re going to be fine. Sending love and praying for you.❤️
Girl you got this!!! Healing every day🫶🏻
I’ve been thinking about you all week and praying for you!! I’m so encouraged by your bravery, and I’m also impressed by how well you can talk right after! Baby steps. I will keep praying!❤️❤️
Right! It just goes to show how strong Shea is! For the first half hour after my extraction, I would drool every time I spoke! 😅
Sending prayers. You got this Shea.
You got this, Shea!❤❤❤❤❤
Prayers for a total healing Shea
You talk beautifully. So much better than expected. You will be fine and better than ever soon. So lucky to have him by your side. The hard part is now over.
I've been through this year-long process *much the same situation as you after the birth of my son* and it's completely worth it. You'll be so glad and I can tell you it really wasn't so bad at all. You sound great btw...much better than I did two hours after my procedure. You've got this!
I just caught your update. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! Considering what today held for you, you sound great. It honestly doesn't look bad. Tomorrow will be a little different, but things will only get better from there. On a side note, I am so homesick for West Virginia, your shoot outside made me feel halfway there, I go through the 'sburgh each time home. Try to sleep well tonight. We will all keep the prayers for you on our breath.
Shea it isn't vanity. I completely understand. I had braces in my 40's, and it screwed up my teeth and gums. It is loosing your teeth and it is miserable to be in pain. I suffer with mine. I even have bad dreams about my teeth. I am praying for you today that the pain you are in will be healed by our Lord. You will have beautiful teeth again. You are beautiful! Your husband is not only handsome, but very sweet. I can tell he loves you so much!
Teeth problems are the absolute worst. Doesn’t matter how tough you are, everyone is down when their teeth aren’t right. Wishing you proper and full healing! 🙏🏻
You two are the best! You are loved and covered in prayer! 🙏
So sorry you are going through this, I went through something similar, years of dental work, a dental implant that fell out, bone loss, cavities, root canals, etc. I'm praying in Jesus name for your complete healing and recovery, and for return back to normal use and eating, thank you for sharing such a personal thing, hang in there!!! Praying for quick recovery!!!! 🙏♥
