I’m So Embarrassed About My Smile (Dentures)

August 26, 2023

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson @ 8:00 am

About a month ago, we traveled back to Minnesota to visit family. We couldn’t wait to introduce my new daughter to the extended relatives. My mom hosted a delicious mid-west steak and potato feast with some of the family. Everything was just how I remembered it. But then I noticed my Aunt sobbing at the kitchen island. I went to see if she was okay and she could hardly even look at me in the face. She said, “I’m just so embarrassed. Did you know that I have dentures now? I have been so anxious about coming to dinner tonight, especially knowing your mom would be serving steak.”

I felt absolutely awful. It must have been devastating for my Aunt to hear that she would be losing all of her top teeth. On top of that, she had to face her family and navigate eating steak with dentures for the first time. As a dentist, I often encounter patients who have experienced significant dental challenges, but when the patient is one of my own family, the hurt is very real. Fortunately, she was able to finally tell me about her dentures that night and also allow me to help answer the questions and concerns she was too embarrassed to ask her own dentist.

In this blog post, we will delve into the challenges faced by individuals in need of dentures, the emotions associated with denture embarrassment, and the empowering path towards regaining confidence through dental solutions.

Understanding Dentures Embarrassment

Denture embarrassment is a common emotional hurdle experienced by individuals who require dentures. It arises from a range of factors, including:

  1. Self-consciousness: The loss of natural teeth can lead to self-consciousness and a fear of being judged by others.
  2. Social stigma: Society often associates dentures with aging, leading some individuals to feel ashamed or inferior.
  3. Functional concerns: Difficulty speaking or eating properly due to missing teeth can further contribute to feelings of embarrassment.
  4. Fear of change: Adapting to a new dental prosthesis can be daunting, causing anxiety and embarrassment.

From the moment you were born, there’s one smile that has always been there for you—mom’s. Through the ups and downs, she has guided you and loved you, and her smile could help lift your spirits when you’re feeling low. Even though you’ve grown up, you likely have found that you still need your mom, even if it’s just for moral support. In other words, you need her strong, powerful smile to stay healthy for a lifetime.

Mother’s Day is not only an opportunity to celebrate and thank your mom for everything she’s done for you, but it also starts National Women’s Health Week. It’s a great time to remind your mom to take care of herself so that you can enjoy her smile for many more years.
