Hi Shea. I messaged you on IG. I can totally relate. I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Gosh.
Hello Shea, they are my dental team too! Dr Michele has helped me SO much! I am going through the SAME thing. In January, I have a cone beam scheduled to see if we can go forth with the next implants. Afterwards, I have more work to do. It has been physically, emotionally and financially taxing. I am holistic as well, so hoping this will improve things when all is said and done! Please ask Dr Michele for my information if you would ever want to text/talk. I would love to have someone who understands. Know that you are not alone. (I commented before, but I’m not sure if it went through.) Prayers, 🩷Lauren
Sending you so much love and support. This is so scary for you. Sending you prayers for complete healing!
Due to 6 autoimmunes I choose not to do the ceramic😢implants but permanent bridges (3)
And it worked out fine. Plus 8 veneers. You will do well and wishing you the best. Believe me it can always be worse ❤
I love you Shea,
I’m going through so much right now as well- crying for over a week now; thought our situations are very different, I can see that our hearts ache the same. Big hugs ❤
You don’t sound overly dramatic. You’re in pain and you’re scared. It sucks. You’re allowed to feel what you feel without apologizing. Be well, Shea 🙏💗
Exactly this is extremely stressful and I hate that she feels uncomfortable expressing that she’s upset. I’d be so upset about this too.
Teeth pain is the worse!
I SO agree. Pain is hard and scary no matter what. Praying for you Shea!
Agree, it's traumatizing. I feel so bad for her.
Yes!! Well said! Our feelings are valid! It's ok to feel what we feel. She's doesn't need to apologize.
I was a hygienist for 33 years and losing teeth is traumatic. The implants have improved so much since they first came out. The temporary teeth will work ok for you , have faith! You are beautiful and your feelings are real. Take care!
Awe, that was nice. I hope she sees your message. ❤
I am a retired Hygienist as well, I worked for a cosmetic dentist. You are not being dramatic . So great you are looking into implants - most patients have a very good result when it is all said and done . You are right that infection from compromised teeth is absolutely not good for your overall health . I had jaw surgery years ago and had my jaw wired shut for over 3 months and everyone could understand my speech, so that part of it may not even be that noticeable . Love to you 🤗
So kind and compassionate.
@okangie6723 I also had jaw reconstruction when I was 15. Upper and lower. That was a rough recovery. Ppl would ask me if it was painful, but it wasn't really. The challenge is air exchange. Also, of course, not being able to eat.
🙏😊 I've watched and adored you since you began. Take your time, breathe...one step at a time. You will have good and bad days in this process ~ and we'll be here for you ❤
As someone that’s been in dentistry for over 10 years, you need a second opinion. I’ve never once seen a doctor extract teeth because they’re filled. (I’m speaking about the other 3) Secondly, you need a night guard. If you’re cracking roots, you’re grinding and clenching at night. If you’re in unexplained pain, again, you’re grinding and clenching. Most people do… That alone would solve half of your problems. If neither of them have not put you in a night guard, they aren’t good at their jobs. Third, a temporary shouldn’t just “come off.” Again, I’ve never heard that one either. Furthermore, the “holistic” approach is a red flag to me. Using porcelain or ceramics isn’t for holistic purposes. They’re using those words to get patients like you. Most dentists simply use those materials now because they are better and they look better. You don’t have to seek out a “holistic” dentist for that. I realize my comment will get buried with the 5,000 other comments and you’ll probably never read it, but I can’t stand to see dentists take advantage of people. You can save those teeth, and the thought two dentists would talk you into this crap is sickening.
SHEA WHITNEY, ARE YOU READING THIS??? I completely agree --- 2nd or even 3rd opinion is essential in this case.
I know, right?! Sounds extreme
Shea PLEASE listen to these suggestions especially in getting a second & third opinion asap firstly, and start wearing a night guard at night, I need to get one also. I have another positive for you to be grateful for, You have
the best of the best dental insurance/ money to have all of this done. And you
have a CZcams family that cares about you and
prays for you & your family! Shea you’re blessing so many of us with you sharing your stories, thank you so much for your courage
and transparency -~
YOU KEEP IT REAL❣️❣️
For sure Im praying for you & yours🙏🏼🩷🥰
How kind of you to leave her this comment and I hope she sees it... How I wish I could find a dentist like you... But I'm stuck with certain dentist because of health insurance... I have also lost a lot of teeth and it's crazy because my teeth were so so good, I've had issues with telling my dentist that a tooth is bothering me and they do an x-ray and they say nothing's wrong and then 8 months or a year later they say oh it needs to be pulled... There's a really deep cavity... I've and tons of other issues...
I can't even tell you how healing it is just to know the people like you are actually out there 🌹
@@SimplySurrender I’m sorry 😞 I hate to see people taken advantage of, or insurance dictating patients needs. It’s awful.
I’m 32 and losing my vision! 😢 it’s a degenerative condition. No cure! Yet i tell myself it could be worse 😂. I cried for 2 months straight and then changed my mindset! 😊 hugs and best wishes ❤
Your situation is worse than hers, she is sounding ridiculous after hearing your story
I’m so sorry dear , I hope there is a way to significantly slow it down 😢
I’m so sorry, that must be so scary and hard
so sorry..God bless you
That’s awful I’m so sorry. I’ll pray for you.
If you have ever had dental issues, you know she is not overreacting at all. When she mentioned the pain in her neck I literally had flashbacks! I pray for a speedy recovery after all of this
Amen
Exactly 😢
💯 agree. Oral health is a priority.
Sending healing energies and prayers Whitney.
So true it pain down the neck even to the ear sometimes is so real
As someone who has horribly soft teeth, with multiple fillings, root canals, crowns, bone grafts and implants - I totally feel your pain, Shea. I don’t think other folks truly understand the impact it has on you. Hang in there - you’ve got this and know that you have a whole group of followers who will be praying for you!
I’m a dentist and have been through this exact scenario countless times with people. Your fears and feelings are valid because there’s so much at play and you can never make a guarantee when biology is involved but I’ll say this to hopefully ease your anxiety… this is not an uncommon situation and while my patients have struggled with the process at times, the results have been beautiful, strong, solid and comfortable. Hang in there, my dear. Lots of us admire and care about you. Sending you big hugs. 🥰 ❤
I'm a dentist, too, and I totally feel for Shea and what she's going through. You wrote what I was thinking so beautifully. Thank God there are actually a lot of good, kind, caring AND competent dentists out there.
You are not overly dramatic at all! I would be scared and crying as well! Teeth issues are no joke. It is a major ordeal! I’m sorry you are going through this and I appreciate you sharing your journey. We are wishing you the very best!
For the person living with a health issue, it's never "just". It's a constant worry, a constant pain, constant cost, etc. Please don't ever apologize for your emotions, it's normal and healthy, and we are with you xx
I suffer from debilitating hypothyroidism, & many mental health disorders that are diagnosed by a Psychologist. thank you for this comment! ❤
Yes. This absolutely. I work in medical. Your health literally affects your whole perspective. It becomes everything. My heart goes out to anyone who has chronic health issues especially pain.
Ask them if they are using bone grafts when the do the extractions. So important!!
❤🙏🏻
Never once did it cross through my mind " this is just teeth issues" This is real life and it does affect you and your daily life. We each have our own struggles and this is normal to feel this way & we will all still be here to support you !
For the first time in my life I had a ton of issues with my teeth this year that came out of nowhere. I completely empathize with how much pain you are in and how upsetting this all is. Just because there are worse things in this world, doesn't mean that this still isn't upsetting and painful. Wishing you a fast recovery!
I’m so happy to see you be real and vulnerable with us! We love you!
Oh, precious Shea! NOT A LIVING SOUL is thinking, "It's just teeth!"
Every one of us needs teeth!!! WE GET IT!! Every one of us is afraid and depressed by pain!! THAT'S HUMAN!!
Dear lady, please know that ongoing pain plus pending oral surgery will make anyone crumble emotionally.
THIS IS HUGE.
We love and appreciate you so, so much. Praying for you RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!! Thank you SOOOO much for sharing with us. 🙏🙏🙏
I want you to know that we understand how upset you are and we validate those feelings. We take our teeth for granted so often but like you said they are so much more important to us than just cosmetically and for eating. I will be praying for you through this ordeal and I know many others will be joining me. Keep thinking positively and know you're not alone in this. ❤🙏
I have many dental implants. They are fantastic! Don’t give up! You can do this! Stop apologizing, sweetie! Thanks for sharing your ordeal! We’re confident you’ll do fine!
I’m glad everyone is supporting you! I recently lost most of my teeth. It’s very very traumatic. It killed my self esteem. I’m sending you love and positivity. I feel your anxiety. This all affected me exactly as it’s affecting you. I’m sorry you are dealing with this.
I don’t think anyone watching is thinking that “it’s just teeth”. I myself have battled issues with my teeth my whole life and it’s scary and affects your quality of life. Hang in there, Shea. You got this and the support of your family, friends and your viewer community ❤
You are so brave for sharing this with everyone! I just stumbled across your channel accidentally, and I’m so glad I did. I’m sorry you’re going through all of this, but I love to hear your list of pros. I too have been having struggles with my teeth and getting a lack of answers for the problems has been stressful. I hope you have great success with your surgery and with talking afterwards! I’ll be praying for you ❤
Shae, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Please don't minimize what you're going through, this is really hard. Praying for peace, wisdom for the dentists, and a smooth recovery for you.
I'm an oral surgeon, and 99% of the time the temporary teeth we put in work fine! Please stay positive!!!! Also, holistic isn't the BEST way to go about teeth...DO what you have to do!! And it WILL work, trust me!! We do this all the time!!
Thanks for sharing with her! A voice of reason helps the tears!! Poor thing I feel bad for her so I hope all will go well!
This is a great comfort for Shea to read, I’m sure. Thank you for sharing your expertise w her. ❤
I’ve been a dental assistant for 27 years. And I myself have had similar treatment done to my own mouth. Trust me Shae, looking back after it’s all done u will b happier without the constant worry and pain. Also, u can totally talk and eat w fake teeth. I also am speaking from experience. Your tongue will learn the new landmarks in ur mouth and ur speech will b the same. Just read aloud and practice
Prayers❤️🙏
Please don’t feel embarrassed to be making this video. And yes, I do think that you are correct that many people won’t understand and won’t think that it’s a big deal. I have been dealing with similar issues since a few months after my daughter was born as well. It’s been five years and I feel like it’s just getting worse. Fillings, root canals just for pain, braces now that my mouth seem to be rejecting as my gums are so inflamed even though I am meticulous with my oral hygiene. The Dentist are at a loss for what to even tell me. Additionally, I have other health issues that I’ve been dealing with that sometimes make it feel like it’s impossible to function as a human being. Issues that have been going on for over 10 years now and honestly just seem to get worse day by day. I am honestly not coming on here to complain, but just to tell you that yes some of us do understand what you’re going through and yes, it is horrible but like you said, be thankful that you do have the means to do something about it. Some of us unfortunately aren’t so lucky or we try a but eventually we run out of money, because as you know, all of this cost thousands and thousands of dollars. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers and with you and your family happy holidays.
“I’m gonna figure out how to help others.” Yes girl. Turn your pain into purpose. This will pass ❤
Hell yes! I agree
Lol skill issue ☠️
This is funny because my content is way better than Shea
Shea, I have you in my thoughts and prayers! Thank you for sharing this with us as you are not alone! I myself am not going through dental issues but my 14 daughter is. I’m not sure how common this is but she has a number of cysts in her gums that are causing her pain and causing all her teeth to shift. And at 14, she still has most of her baby teeth bc of this issue. They are just not falling out on their own and insurance will not cover this 😔and it’s 5k that I just cannot afford so you can imagine her embarrassment as a freshman in hs. I have shared this video with her so that she knows she is not alone! May you have a speedy recovery ❤
Wishing you a healthy recovery and prayers for a successful procedure! ♥️♥️♥️
Your feelings are all valid Shea and everyone’s struggles in life look different. I am so sorry youre going through this and praying for the best case scenario and for your health and happiness 😢💗
Omg this is the most American comment I’ve ever read 🙄🙄
Run to Jesus!!!
If you have defected from God then read these Scriptures: (Lost Sheep, Luke 15:1-7 - Lost Coin, 15:8-10 - Lost Son, 15:11-32 - Rich Man and Lazarus, 16:19-31) Jesus is calling you back home, read His word, believe and repent. Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!.
The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord!
If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now!
These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the Rapture, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!...
It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens!

Women and children dying in Palestine innocently and you feel bad for a wealthy lady getting her teeth fixed? 😂 Girl bye. I unfollowed you a long time ago. These type of women are blinded by looks and consumerism. 🤢
you ARE NOT being dramatic. im not a dentist, but im a medical doctor and this affects you in many ways and it's important to feel heard and understood. this is not "just teeth issues". this is your health. wishing you all the best with the procedures❤
This was very brave of you to share your story with us, thank you for doing so. I know that wasn't easy. Wishing you a speedy recovery soon. xx
Wishing you a very speedy recovery and pain relief! Appreciate how candid this discussion was. Your feelings are so valid; health journeys are stressful, exhausting, and nerve wracking. Please take care of yourself, and know that your audience completely supports you!
Don’t ever feel like your issues are less important, or less of a struggle. Sending light and love.
Hi Shae! I just want to encourage you…2022 was a year of teeth for me. Basically, I had an accident about 20 years ago to the front of my mouth and after twenty years of hopeful solutions, I finally(with absolute support from my husband)went through with extraction and implant process. I just want to share I cried with you right now. It was SO tough. Front of my mouth. People who don’t understand, don’t understand. It was really a humbling, humbling process. You will be ok. You will come out of this. I love your list of blessings. Your children, your family, your financial situation. I am also grateful for all those things. But. Did I cry a lot?? Yes. I did. It was really tough. I love you and I’m sending love to you. You are amazing. And thank you for sharing. Lastly, my mouth is doing great!!
Sending you love and healing. So sorry you are having to deal with this. Chronic pain is so very hard. Teeth pain is one the worst!! We all love you and appreciate the positivity you've shared with us. I hope you can let this love wash back over you now.
Fellow Pittsburgh girly here!!! I went to Doctor Bakuri for gum surgery and he is AMAZING!!!!!!!! My heart goes out to you as I’ve been struggling with some of the same issues. I ate/drank TONS of sugary foods and drinks in my college years (I think I had an addiction to sugar) and ended up with a TON of cavities and some were very deep. A few of the fillings I received by a dentist had “overhangs” and were not done correctly, so food particles and more sugar were getting stuck in the overhangs up against my gums and I ended up with periodontal disease throughout my entire mouth. A couple years later, I did get the fillings replaced that were incorrectly done, but wow has my mental health taken a toll. My smile will never be the same and it feels like as time goes on my teeth and gums are just slowly deteriorating. After doing HOURS AND HOURS of research, I’m considering doing All on 4 in the future, probably 10 years from now I would guess (G4 by Golpa) because, like you said, teeth are connected to your entire body and can affect overall health.
My heart truly breaks for you because I know the mental and physical weight teeth issues can have, but this video gives me some comfort knowing I’m not the only person going through this. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers & wishing you a smooth recovery. 🤍
Yes, got to G4 by GOLPA
I wish I could afford it
Same!!
As a mom, it breaks my heart to see your pain. I totally understand your fear. My daughter has been through so much with her teeth ever since she got braces in middle school. She’s 31 now and finally got the last tooth issue resolved last week! She’s been through veneers, extractions, an implant, several gum graphs, a root canal and crowns. I will pray that this surgery brings you the relief you so desperately need. I’ll watch your videos no matter what. Your mouth will heal and you’ll feel so much better. Best of luck Shea.
I never thought I’d be brought to tears watching a Shea video, but your pain, anxiety, and apprehension were so palpable. And also very valid. There is nothing trivial about what you shared, but find some comfort in knowing that you have many things working in your favor for your medical dental journey to be a success. Rooting for you, Shea. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing. ❤ Your story definitely helps others!! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Your feelings are 100 percent valid.
You literally made me cry! I’m so sorry for the pain you’re going through! I have my own dental issues and I can’t afford to get it taken care of. I hope that you’re pain free and beautiful on the other end of this journey! I will pray for you!
Shea don’t apologize for how you’re feeling. You’re scared of the unknown and rightfully so. Take your time with your healing process. We will be here, when you are ready to come back. Extra, extra, extra hugs sent your way.❤
Don’t minimize what you’re going thru. You’re going thru a lot. Give yourself a break. You got this Shea
Well-Said!
Shea, you are such a wonderful soul and really enjoy watching your videos. I will be adding you to my prayer list and pray for you daily to all with go well. Please keep us all updated and know you have a support of so many fans.
Shea, sending you positive vibes and prayers for everything to go well with the procedures! You got this! ❤

Skill issue 😂😂😂
My videos are way better than Shea 😂😂☠️⚡️
No one knows how much this affects not just your physical health, but also your mental health unless you go through it. Good wishes and prayers to you Shea
So true! It's traumatic. Oral health is of upmost importance.
Thank you for sharing this! I had my top front tooth extracted in 2022 (2 months after giving birth) with implant put in during 2023. I didn’t know anyone who experienced this and found very few videos and content on dental implants, which made me more nervous not knowing what to expect. Your feelings are valid and I didn’t realize how missing one tooth could impact your life but like you I reminded myself that I have my family and health and I needed to do it for them. Wishing you all the best in your journey!
Praying for you! I know how terrifying any health issue is and thank you for being so honest. I really hope it all goes smoothly, you heal perfectly, and have the most wonderful results 🙏🏽
This is seriously traumatizing and you have every right to feel how you're feeling. Praying for you babe, we love you.
Dear Shea, I am a breast cancer survivor and I know the fear you are feeling is real and it is just as scary. It’s hard when you don’t know what is going to happen. Sounds like you’re already doing all the right things. You have good doctors you trust. You are grateful for the positive things in your life and you have family and friend support. Sending prayers your way. That is a winning combination! Just take one day at a time!
You are very sweet, but comparing breast cancer to her having to get 4 dental implants is ... well, there is no comparison. BTW, I am also a breast cancer survivor (almost dying a couple of times during my year of treatments). You and I faced our mortality ... she is facing getting teeth fixed. No comparison.
You are an amazing woman. I will pray for your surgery and recovery. ❤ Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us. We care about you!!❤
Lighting a candle for your peace and progress 🙏 And super brave of you to share!! Thank you, and be kind and patient with yourself, for all will work out for the best.
Tooth pain is no joke!! It’s overwhelming! Sending up some prayers for you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amen!!!
I would be devastated if I had to lose any of my teeth! I was crying so much watching this. You're not overreacting at all.
Shea 💜 I’m sending you big hugs, lots of love, and prayers for your total healing. I had a cancer diagnosis, and I just wanted to say that your pain is real and your feelings matter just as much as anyone else’s. Thank you for sharing so openly with all of us. We love you, Shea💜
Oh my goodness! Bless you Shea. I'm tearing up right along with you. Take care of yourself. Good for you for finding the positives. You're right, things could always be worse but you're allowed to feel what you're feeling. It's still scary. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas and cheers to a blessed New Year.
Takes a lot of guts to come on here and be so genuine with us all, and I appreciate that about you -- it's always been the reason I keep watching. Dental issues are debilitating but I am so proud of you for taking the reins and getting this done once and for all. I know it's scary, but you deserve a mouth that doesn't cause you pain! You deserve to bite into an apple! You deserve to enjoy food again and eat some corn and bite into an ice cream cone! We'll be here regardless, no matter how long the process takes. Be gentle with yourself and don't rush things here. We're all on your side with this and hoping for all the best. xoxo
I feel so bad for you and wish I could give you a hug. It’s normal to be stressed and worried about it. It’s good to get your stress out and talk about it. You will be ok, but I know it won’t be easy. You are smart, brave, kind and have a wonderful family to help you get through this. Hugs
I just got diagnosed with MS and I totally understand how hard it is to have medical things going on right now with the holidays. Praying for your complete healing ❤
I am sending a whole huge big hug ur way!!! 🙏🤍💙💜
@ashleynorris1066 The fact that you're going through your own medical issues yet taking the time to pray for someone else's speaks volumes about the beautiful person you are inside and out❤
I'm praying for you- for God's healing hand to touch you. May he heap blessings in abundance over you and your family😘
@@deannahlewis7132 you are too sweet. Thank you sooooo much

My heart goes out to you. I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery. ❤
You've got this Shay! I feel you so much, currently dealing with health issues as well and no matter how "little" it is for people, for the person going thru it it's still extremely hard.
You will be in my prayers. Trust that everything will be ok. 🙏🏼
Shea, I have so much respect for your bravery to honestly confront your dental issues and to get the needed work done. You will feel much better.
Only people with chronic disease/pain can understand how lonely and heartbreaking this road is. It definitely takes a toll on your mental health. I wish you the best on your surgery, a speedy and easy recovery and above all, relief from this horrible pain on your teeth and in your heart ❤️ A big hug to you!
All the best to you Shea! I’ll pray for your recovery. It’s very kind of you to think of others that may be going through the same. We are here for you. God bless you.
I appreciate your sharing this with us! Everything looks all shiny and perfect on the outside, but most people are going through something. Don’t minimize your emotions. They’re perfectly valid. It’s not fun what you’re going through. We’re sending you much love and positive vibes. We hope you heal fast! And well!
I just have so much empathy for you dealing with this very scary medical issue, and having to do it publicly. You bring such positive energy to your subscribers on a regular basis, and deserve the best! Praying for a successful procedure and healing for you, Shea!!!
As a person who has had systemic issues with my teeth since childhood, I am sending you a huge hug from Ohio!!!! 🩷🩷🩷 Saying prayers for a speedy recovery from the extractions!
Shea, I have dealt with numerous dental issues, extreme dental phobia and anxiety. For as much time as I contemplate the scarey go south scenarios, it is only fair to spend equal time visualizing things going well to my unexpected delight. Good luck, our healing prayers for you have power.
You are beautiful; I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. Praying for a complete and speedy recovery. You deserve it.🙏❤️
Oh Shea, I don't normally post or comment but I need to tell you, I am going through the exact same thing but with my upper front same 4 all together - my surgery was last week. I know exactly how you feel and believe me this will all be fine. At least you know what you have to do. My oral health journey also started soon after I had my child and it has been 20 years. You are not alone - Oral health is the least focused but should be talked about more. I am so glad you are able to find good doctor - and thank you for bring this to others who has no idea how important this is. Again you are not alone - I am going in tomorrow to get my temporary tried on - they have multiple options (from flippers to glued on...) if all fails I will wear mask! Stay strong and you are not alone!
I’m sorry you are going thru this tough time Shea. We are here for you and support you. It hurts to see you cry and be in pain. Love you Shea. ❤ your feelings and pain are valid.
Prayers lifted for you, Shea, for successful procedures and complete healing.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this!! You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You’re so incredibly blessed with your loving and supportive family and financial means. I truly wish you the best of luck. I’ll be praying for you. You can do this. Your CZcams community loves and supports you as well. We love everything about you.
I was born without 14 permanent teeth. I had baby teeth on my front bottom through hight school. Most of my childhood was spent moving teeth around for three bridges that I had installed in high school. I will tell you my bottom bridge (6 teeth) has held this whole time! Your toungue will adapt and your speech will be fine. You got this!❤
As someone who watched my mom struggle with dental issues, I feel your pain… not literally, of course, but teeth issues cause so many different problems physically and mentally. It messes with your confidence and it’s horrible being in constant pain. Best of luck to you! ❤️
Please don’t minimize your struggle. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable, because you are actually helping people like me feel I can be brave too. Thank you, your a light✨
💖I’ve had ongoing issues too! I’m praying for a fabulous and painless outcome!!!! I’ll be following!!!! Thanks for sharing Shea…it’s helpful and courageous!!!!💖💞💖
If we could all give you a group hug I know we would!! No matter what, keep your head up and keep the positive thoughts going. Your health is so important and you ARE doing the right thing. You have all of our support and will be praying that this solution fixes the issues and for a quick recovery. Much love and hugs! ❤
Sending hugs and praying for you. You have nothing to apologize for, sweetie! Anyone in pain and facing a similar process would feel the same fear, if they were honest. We love you and accept you as you are! You are bravely facing the situation and allowing us the privilege of supporting you emotionally. Thank you for being the special person you are!
Oh my goodness you are a brave brave human ❤
I’ve only watched one of your videos, an Amazon dupe edition ❤
I clicked your tab and, wow, you are so strong and true!
Forget the accessories, this is real humanity on display. I think you are incredibly brave to share this and your fears and vulnerabilities, which are all real and completely valid. I’ve subscribed and will continue to watch your content ❤ We’re all behind you!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, being vulnerable on camera has got to be one of the hardest things. My mom struggles with horrible dental problems and I wish I could monetarily help her, especially after seeing this video. You're a queen and you're going to do amazing. Keep your head up and believe in all of the good!❤️🙏🏻❤️
Shea, as a person of influence I so appreciate your approach to making this video. You are dealing with a very challenging, personal health situation. So often people don’t know how to look at challenges in their lives. They may be trapped in fear and not make good decisions or embrace a victim’s mindset. You graciously shared details as well as how to look at the whole picture. You help us with how to look our best and enjoy great products to make our lives easier. Today, you showed us how to accept life’s challenges and be truly grateful for all we have. I pray for God’s hand to comfort you and direct your doctors before, during and after this process. Take a deep breath and know your in God’s hands.
Thank you for sharing makes my feelings validated. I’ve been going through dental issues too and it’s really hard not just financially but emotionally. Praying everything goes well for you ❤
You are so brave to show this! My heart goes out to you❤️ You WILL get thru this and be so much healthier and pain free. So many people love you and support you. Oh it’s so not a vanity thing and everyone who knows you knows you are not at all vain. So worrying. Just concentrate on healing and loving your family and being that beautiful bright light❤️❤️❤️
Father, we lift up Shea to you. We pray that you would give wisdom to the doctors and nurses who attend to her. We pray that everything will go smooth, that all goes well, and that you would give Shea your peace that passes all understanding! We love you Shea and we will be continuing to pray for you. Take a deep breath and know that our Father cares about you and he is with you. ❤

Thank you for putting your heart out there, Shea. This is scary and difficult and it's ok to be upset. Sometimes when we compare our situation to worst-case-scenario or someone else's bad situation it makes us feel stupid for being so emotional. But in reality, your emotions are valid. No matter who compares you to anyone else. If someone chooses to minimize your feelings and compare you to someone with a much worst situation, they are in the wrong and this is called emotional invalidation. You crying and being scared and upset is real and you being you is real and needed in this world. Anytime you're your authentic self, you're being honest with yourself and you can process things much easier from that place. I'm sorry you're facing this, Shea. I will pray that you feel God's presence and have peace that passes understanding. ❤
Big prayers for you Shea!! We will continue to lift you up in prayer
Praying for health and a speedy recovery. You’re going to do great!
🙏 ❤️ 🦷
I know this might sound silly, I don’t have dental issues but I have other things in life I’m dealing with and just knowing that everyone has “issues” is oddly comforting. I appreciate you being so vulnerable, you have the sweetest heart, and I will definitely keep you in my prayers.❤
You are not alone. I totally understand your struggle! I have been through my share of dental issues. I feel like I could write a book. I have always said if I won the lotto I would start a foundation to help others with dental problems. Hang in there! Sending prayers and hugs. I promise it will get better! ❤
Hugs to you. You have so many people out here praying for you. TEETH are such a vital part of our overall health. Your feelings are VALID. I love that you came up with a list of pro's to help you through. I was crying as I was watching you talk about this. I am a 59 year old subscriber of yours (for many years) and have had serious periodontal issues since I was 29 (after the birth of my son). Nothing to the extent of your issues; however, I have been through many surgeries, one implant, etc. I feel like I've had to fight to keep my teeth for most of my life. Godspeed to you!
Praying for you, Shea. It breaks my heart to hear you talk about this but try your best to stay positive. I wish you the very best during this difficult time. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey. Sending many hugs, much love and tons of prayers ❤❤❤
Hurts to see this video and you’re not being dramatic! Being in pain affects everyday life. I will keep you in my prayers Shea. Speedy healing and recovery to you. ❤
This is so difficult. Teeth are vital. Don't downplay this ongoing, very painful health issue. Especially with front teeth, you're right, it's not just a pain thing, it's being able to eat, to socialize, and to literally put your best face forward. And since you are in the public eye, all your fears are magnified even more.
I'm wishing you the very best luck with your extractions and your dental health moving forward. You got this, Shea! Thank you for keeping your subscribers in the loop. We're all praying for you ❤
I am so proud of you! You are so brave to share with us ! Praying for you! Be positive! 🥰😘🙏🏻
Shea your feelings and concerns are very valid. I feel your pain through your voice. Your going to get through this. Let your kids, husband, family and friends be your strength through your journey. Sending lots of prayers and hugs for you from Florida!! I hope your healing process goes smoothly. It will be all worth it in the end just remember that!! Happy Holidays to you and your family. Also, have a blessed New Year! 🤗
I have had issues with my teeth most of my life and all of my adult life. Two years ago, I had to have multiple bone grafts to be able to have implants. It was an arduous process but worth every agonizing moment. You are beautiful and brave! Lean into those that love you, give yourself the space to feel what you feel, and heal at your own pace. ❤
Shea, any medical issue is a hardship and you shouldn't minimize your issue because it is a big deal! I think the crying at the drop of a hat is related to the anxiety of the whole process, especially with all of your history with dental procedures. We still love and support you 🙌🏻💜 you are so strong and kind. Take as much time as you need. If anyone feels the need to comment on your appearance, screw them. I'm sorry you're going through this. We love you.
Shea, Your feelings and fears are so understandable! I’m praying for you and I know your situation will work out!❤️🙏🏻
Oh hunny, I'm crying along with you watching this video 😢. I'm sorry this is feeling so scary and distressing for you. Big hugs! Wishing you all the best with your surgery and a full recovery. Keep focusing on the positive. Take care and Merry Christmas ❤️.
Oh girl, this hurts my heart. From someone who’s old enough to be your mom but young enough at heart to completely empathize, it’s okay to be scared and anxious, and it’s okay to be worried about your health and how you look. It’s human and totally understandable. I have recurring bad dreams about my teeth being loose in my mouth lol! Hang in there, I’m sending positive juju your way and I’m sure many others are too. Love your channel!
What is it with those dreams? I have them too. Sometimes they are loose AND crumbling… fascinating
Shea, I’m so very sorry you’re going thru this. Please don’t stop living your life and being a shining example out in the world. People watch you because of your light and that won’t change while you’re figuring all of these health issues out. This is hard but you can do hard things❤️
Hang in there Shea you just have to go through your own process and mourn the person you are today and welcome the persons you will be in a couple of days which we hope and pray it will be a happy beautiful pain free person
I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🙏
I am so sorry Shea this is a serious thing, you can do this. Teeth issues can ruin a life. I have had major teeth issues and I am one of those people that can’t afford what I need done and I live in Canada. I can totally relate and you have every reason to be upset. And filming the whole thing will help people and your speech will get better and a pro is that it is only about a year. Thinking of you love.
Thank you for sharing and don’t apologize for expressing your feelings. I have to do one implant and I was having all this anxiety and feelings about getting it done. It’s good to talk about it. Wishing you all the best and a great recovery.
I am currently saying prayers for you!! 🙏🏼 your feelings are SOoo valid here and I’d be hallucinating if I had to go through all of this. Praying the dentists/ orthodontists perform to perfection and you are pain free, healthy, and that all these concerns of yours are cleared up. You’re so loved and you got this, girl!❤️
Thank you for sharing this because teeth issues are huge. My teeth impacted my whole life, even now and I just turned 45. I always looked at other people's smiles and wished mine was better. Getting my upper denture was hard and I don't even have to be in the public that much. I completely understand your fears and worries. I was made fun of when I was younger and it made me not smile showing my teeth. It made me cover my mouth when I laughed or yawned. People don't understand it's integral to your self esteem. I still don't know how to smile, don't know what my real smile looks like even after getting my upper denture because I didn't want to really smile for 30 years of my life so I get it. I hope your extractions are easy and you get through the worst of it quickly and heal quickly.
I’m going through the same thing right now with only one tooth and I am so glad that you’re brave enough to post this. Thank you so much
Holding you with so much love and support Shea. So sorry you are experiencing this. But I know you have everything it takes to navigate this. We’ve got you while you’re going thru this.
