Dear Diary: I Think I Must Start Brushing My Teeth Again

This may shock you but I haven't brushed my teeth maybe more than a year now. It is because when my face just went disfigured my teeth had parted and not only that my gums got inflated too. Now my teeth when I brushed them in those months just bleeds.

That made me angry because I could not brush my teeth as before so I decided to stop brushing my teeth because it gets messy and I might have a bleeding problem during dialysis since they are using blood thinners there.

Now I just want to brush my teeth again and I plan in doing it while taking a bath. I am not hopeful that my teeth won't bleed again but I just have to try again because I needed to save my teeth and I can't afford to lose them especially in the Molar part.

I could not enjoy now certain foods that needs to be bitten with my front incisor teeth and the teeth below it also went so parted that I lost the ability to eat my favorite food the blue crabs because they needed to be bitten and I can't do that now.

Now I just have to brush my teeth to help them not to rot. I have a cavity on my molar and I am embarrassed to go to the dentist to have it get fixed because of my appearance as the doctor might get shocked at the sight of me. It is just one of my concerns and I do am disheartened that this issue with my teeth that I have to problem it as well and I just have to face it otherwise I will just suffer from dental health issue on top of these health issues that I am currently managing.
