- I'm just been really struggling lately. Things could always be so much worse, but I still thought I'd share some details of what's been going on. Maybe it'll make you (or others watching) feel not so alone. Life isn't perfect and we all deal with something!! I'm so thankful for you all though...truly!!!

My 35 y/o husband died from brain cancer last year, leaving me with our 3 babies to care for alone. Friends often preface every single struggle/complaint they have because we tend to compare. We can BOTH have struggles. Truly, we all do. We don’t need to compare our struggles but only to support each other in whatever they are. Sending you so many healing vibes ❤️💙❤️
Omg I’m so sorry 😢 I can’t even imagine
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Stay strong 💕
I am so sorry. I pray for you and your babies ❤❤
Keep inspiring others April. Sending love and hugs from so many of us out here.
Amen! It’s not a competition in hardships! We all need to be there for each other!
Just because someone else might be going through a “more difficult” situation doesn’t invalidate your struggles.
Teeth are important! Don’t be so hard on yourself or rather, be gentle with yourself!
Well said totally agree!!
Agree. It’s a big deal!
There's a great young gal on tiktok that had all her teeth fall out, she wears dentures. She completely owns it ! Btw, I can never find a man and I got a brain tumor. Everyone suffers deeply it seems.
I can't even put into words how I know exactly how you feel. Going through almost the same issue. Cosmetically..perfect... On paper (x-ray)... a disaster. I'm never without an appointment to get something drilled, nerve damage, pulled adjusted... the only rest I get is the rest of healing in between appointments. AND NO ONE realizes how depressing it is.
Poor thing 😢
❤❤❤ same. I am trying to not be so embarrassed about it.
Yes, Shea, you are not alone. We all have something we struggle with. It keeps us humble and focused on what's really important. Hang in there. What helps me is to constantly express what I'm grateful for.
I am so sorry you have been struggling Shea :( Your struggles are completely valid!! Everyone has their own set of struggles and no one can judge whether one's is worse than the other. Praying you're able to heal and get relief so soon.
Agree
My heart hurts for you. I pray for healing for your mouth and your anxiety. Everyone struggles with something, and the people who follow you and care for you don’t judge you. You’re bravery for sharing your struggle is commendable. It’s not easy opening up about your problems, and I’m proud of you for putting yourself out there. Thank you for sharing your struggle. Prayers are going up for you now, because you shared.
I am very sorry that you have to go to this. Praying for a solution. Your struggles bring tears to my eyes. Hope somebody out there can really help you. We love you!
Shea - It is truly brave to share this with the world and I sympathize with your situation. I have my own health struggles and your words ring true on how suffering affects everything in your life. There’s no shame in that struggle and should not be a stigma associated with having health challenges. I believe one can find happiness even if they can’t find health and hope you find your way soon.
I appreciate that she understands how many blessings she has too. Anytime I struggle, I try to do the same thing.
I’m a dental hygienist and thank you for mentioning that oral health is tied to overall health. There are so many things you can find out about your body by your oral health. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re dealing with these issues and not to minimize your concerns/frustrations. I hope everything gets figured out and you can eat how/what you want!
Have you ever heard of gums becoming numb after running/exercise? The dentist I've asked give me a blank stare.
@@terrjarvis8685 ....Do you have any other dental issue? Cavities, root canals, mercury amalgam fillings , have braces, bridges, gum disease??
The teeth are directly connected with your acupuncture meridians . It is now believed that this meridian system that runs throughout your body may be connected with our fascia tissue that runs throughout our muscles and all organs and also with our lymphatic system - the system to eliminate toxins in our tissues, organs via the blood which takes it to our liver, colon and kidneys for elimination. The vagus nerve in your mouth running down through your esophagus to your colon and another up from your 2 front teeth along roof of mouth down back of head tun through your meridians also. To put it briefly.
Meridians also fun from each tooth down to parts of your body.
So yes... your teeth and mouth could have an effect on your body ... muscles.... joints etc.
So it follows that if you use your muscles like in exercise /strenuous movement ... it may refer back to your mouth.
So look for any issues in your mouth. Mercury dental amalgam fillings can create very very bizarre conditions both in mouth and rest of body. A Biological Dentist may be the best to know about these things.
In the 1800s mercury fillings were banned by the THEN American Dental Association because they knew and experienced the detrimental effects of mercury on all systems of the body bc it attacks the nervous system and endocrine which then affects all other systems & organs. This they knew bc of the hazards it posed for mercury mining workers and gold mining and workers in the Top Hats manufacturing bc they used mercury to stretch the hat fabric. Many of these became insane or mentally unstable thus the adage “Mad Hatter” like you hear in the Alice and Wonderland tale.
But the pressure of the elites brought down that 1st dental association. And later the one we have now formed with the same name and they resumed the use of mercury amalgams which is 50% toxic mercury. Mercury is used to mine gold to separate it from the rocks and other mineras. I guess they need to use the leftover for something like they do with fluoride and other residual industrial waste. They chug it to the naive consumers and make more bucks out of it.
When my 8 mercury amalgams were installed within less than 2 months one of the immediate symptoms that happened was I began having a massive pain shoot up to my eye and brain FROM a molar next to one filled. If the pain lasted more than the 20 seconds I would have had to commit suicide bc all I can do is jump up and down holding my head until it subsided. Luckily it would only happen occasionally until one day it lasted longer .
I ran to a dentist and told him that if he did not pull out the tooth I’d commit suicide right there. He then suggested he first drill a hole into the tooth supposing that maybe a gas had been trapped in it. He did and low and behold the pain went away and never returned and was the tooth that ever remained perfect.
A few years ago it became impacted though and got infected bc it was still a baby tooth. It was removed ... but before that the infection ran UP the same route I had felt at the time of those shooting nerve pains and it would end up swelling my whole body with also fatigue and muscle pain. I could “feel” the infection in my body. After the tooth was extracted my body went back to normal... I could actually feel the drainage from my forehead down my face, neck and body as I healed.
If you go on Facebook on mercury dental amalgams groups you will hear a lot of bizarre stories, even bi-polar and schizophrenia being resolved after resolving amalgams or tooth problems. One good one is Andy Cutler safe mercury detox (something like that).
@@terrjarvis8685 .... Also it would be beneficial to have a nutritional analysis blood work up to see what deficiencies in vitamins and essential minerals you’ve got going on. Regular doctors do NOT perform this only holistic practitioners do. Reg doctors do not study nutrition in college they’re just given 12-23 hours in SOME medical schools. Many Chiropractors do . Functional Medicine doctors and Naturopathic Physicians do. Insurance does NOT cover this either. It costs about $500 nowadays.
Deficiency in Vitamin Bs can produce gum and mouth mucosa issues , herpes simplex and dry lips and rashes . So a B Complex would be good to take giving yourself a 2 week break in between. Vitamin D3 too. Then look for those that work WITH Bs and D. Like vitamin C, A, and E. Vitamin C is essential for bone and collagen (D too). Vegetable /food based vitamins are the best.
@@terrjarvis8685 Omgosh. I am also a dental hygienist & do not know what that is about, but one of my best friends told me that when she runs she tastes blood. She does not have periodontal disease or any other significant dental problems.
I’m a dental/ortho assistant and I feel for you when I’m hearing about your story and your teeth journey. Teeth are small, but such a big part of your health! Your teeth look beautiful and are very healthy looking. Praying that you’re back to good health! Remember healthy teeth take time and it is a process, but I promise you it’s worth all the time and effort! 💕💕
Hi. Please consider a product called Theragel by Aroga. Have all your patients swish it before procedures. It kills the bacteria in the mouth so it won’t get in the bloodstream and is a pain reliever. So much more...Aloe & essential oils, FDA approved.
Aroga! Dr Bill “The Father of Aloe “
God bless ,
Janet from GA
I understand your pain! I had many years of dental problems and it does affect every aspect of your life. It did get better for me and has been for many years after multiple implants. Hang in there. It will get better!!!
I am going through similar issues. I wish you good health and a speedy recovery. God bless
I totally get how depressing dental issues can be and have been through a similar journey. So glad to hear you have a holistic dentist, and hope your dental challenges are all healed quickly!
“It’s ok to not be ok”. A gentle reminder that we are all going through something.
“It’s just teeth” but it’s affects your whole life.
It’s ok to be vulnerable and worry about your health. Hope this gets better for you, you’re a good person
God bless you Shea...also God will bless you with this like "this too shall pass" it's very strange that you mentioned Crohn's disease and not so strange that you would mention depression, I deal heavily with both. I just feel if you will keep the faith and of course keep praying but also just believe and speak the healing of your teeth into existence and don't speak any negative into the universe, as much as possible because that in itself is hard not to do. Okay, pretty sure I'm on the verge of rambling at this point so in closing I truly feel you will get to the other side of this! I love you, you were my first "subscribe" a few years ago when I started watching utube. I will keep you in my prayers Shea!!
From experience, I know how hard it is to deal with dental issues. It's honestly horrible! Broken bridges, broken implants, infected implants, wrong color implants....it's honestly exahustinggg
Wishing you the best xxx
As a dental hygienist I hear what you are saying and my heart goes out to you!❤️
It can be sooo frustrating to know that you’re doing everything you can to keep your mouth and teeth healthy and it doesn’t seem to help.
Has anyone from your dental team talked about the pH levels in your mouth and how it relates to cavities???
Can you give more context about ph levels? Thanks
Our pastor says, "Comparison kills." It's so true! Our pain and struggles are real and we need to acknowledge them before we can work through them. Praying for you, @shea. 🙏
You may need to choose, implants completely. You are probably gonna deal with teeth issues for tne rest of your life ( it’s your AchillesHeel) .. of course implants have issues , but they are usually the same kind of issues all tne time...and after awhile....they become easy to deal with. I have had the root canals/ swollen lymph’s also..( of course like you I knew it was teeth, but they looked for salvia stones etc until they realized it was my teeth). My hubby has had implants for years..he says there are more pros than cons...( I’m thinking of doing the same). He said food isn’t as tasty as before, but after awhile it’s tasty enough..because you forget just hoe tasty it was before the implants. I have waay more problems with teeth and each year..I get closer to just pulling them all and getting implants. May for you it’s something to consider
I've heard, "Comparision is unhealthy." Nothing good comes out of it. It's better to focus on your good points and work on your faults.
It’s so true the saying that “Health is wealth” nobody’s life is perfect, thank you for being so honest. ❤️
that's what has happened to me. Compared to childbirth that was easy compared to my new normal I've had to get used to
NO
I’m new to your channel. Been a hygienist for 40 yrs so I totally understand what you’re going through. My heart goes out to you. Recently had to quit due to arthritis so you are right about everyone deals with something. Hang in there!
My heart goes out to you Shea. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to give you the strength, comfort and healing you need.💕
As a veteran of extensive dental work and a botched procedure, I wouldn’t diminish your agony at all in comparison to say, cancer. Dental work is excruciating for me, and I feel your pain. Thank you for your transparency.
Mouth problems can be such a misery and they are literally in your face so you can't ignore them. Sending courage and comfort your way. Just don't give up!
This might be my second comment on CZcams ever…I love your channel, watch all your videos and have always actually admired your teeth! Who knew you had problems??? It takes so much courage to put feelings like that out there. Thank you for sharing and keeping it real. And please do an update video, sending you positive vibes and well wishes on this journey!
You’re allowed to be upset/sad/ grieve things that are not going well in your life no matter how good your life is. And dental pain sucks big time!!!! Only someone who’s gone through dental pain can truly understand the full extent of the matter …and even then can’t fully understand what you’re going through. I hope things are better now💗
Dental pain? Is that the issue? She blabbed for so long that I couldn't sit through.
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I suffer from severe health anxiety, and teeth is one of the things that just triggers it for me. I hope you find peace and relief soon 🙏🏻
I once felt guilty about going through something while a friend suffered from cancer. He told me, a valley is a valley is a valley. Know that God is with you in yours and I pray you feel His peace!
I know you don’t need validation but I am so proud of you for talking about this. I continue to pray for you and your family. It’s okay to feel the way you do and you are loved no matter what ❤️
I have been going through issues with a front tooth procedure for over a year and it has caused so much stress and anxiety. Listening to you is exactly how I have been feeling. Praying for your healing and prompt recovery and thanks for sharing and making me feel I am not alone. 💕
Shea, thank you for being so vulnerable. Please don't downplay your struggles. I have a friend who has dealt with teeth issues throughout their life and also with keeping weight on. Its not an easy road and quite frankly we should never be comparing ourselves with others, for better or worse. Sending you so much love and healing.
you were downplaying your struggles so much and when you finally did mention what it was, i was shocked by the severity of it. Im so sorry youre going through this, chronic pain is the worst and it can ruin some of the happiest days. Wishing you the best of health
I bet you will like this quote, Shea. “Every one you meet is fighting a battle; be as kind as you can.” ❤️
I missed this when it came out. Just took a moment to listen, and wanted you to know, you are great. Im 56 and not sure how I first came across your videos, but I enjoy them and watch them often. You have a cute personality, and I had no idea you had such a terrible struggle going on! I have often thought to myself not only is she pretty and thin, she has gorgeous teeth! I just wanted to say I am sorry, and I hope you get it all worked out soon if you have not already. Keep smiling!
Your oral health most definitely effects your overall health. I’m a dental hygienist and see patients struggle…, I am also a very cavity prone person, so I completely understand. Thank you for sharing. I love your content and appreciate all your hard work. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Shea thank you for sharing this. As someone who has suffered with bad gums, teeth, root canals and implants- it indeed can be very depressing! Here’s hoping you find some relief soon
Coconut oil With clove essential oil for brushing and oil pulling Everyday brushing, vit k2, dairy. Look into Weston Price. Not medical advice but what has helped me.
I never comment but I want to let you know that I appreciate your honesty and humility. Your issues are real. Don’t apologize. Nine years is a long time to go through health issues. Everyone struggles with something .... you said this but it’s true.
💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
I’d look into what dental materials were used in the teeth that were causing the problems and make a note of it. You may have been having a reaction to one of those. I’m a hygienist and had a patient that told a story similar to yours. She said she finally figured out she had a problem with thimerosal. You could potentially react to any material including a variety of dental materials.
Also! Do you clench/grind your teeth? You said you have a cracked tooth in the front. Make sure you wear a night guard if so.
Any chronic thing is no small thing. I’ve had a season of undiagnosable life sucking health problems. I realized through it that I will always have a “thorn in my “flesh” to keep me dependent on God. I naturally default to trying to do it all on my own. And remember...
2 Corinth. 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Hang in there. This will get better.
Yes! My mom was allergic to one of the new materials used and it caused major issues.
Shea, I see your heart come through in this somewhat vulnerable video, and your authenticity is evident.✨ I’m grateful that you’re working with a holistic/integrative dentist and hopefully true healing will be in your very near future. Blessings and strength as you journey on this not so pleasant road to complete recovery.
Your teeth issues are valid! I can’t even imagine! You should never have to justify yourself or your health to anyone. Thank you for sharing your struggles. I hope things start to turn around for you.
Going through anything chronic, especially when you have young kids, is tough. All you can do is move through step by step as it comes. That's all you can do through life as a whole. Thanks for being so transparent. If anything, it helps others to relate to you even more. Sending up prayers for you and sending you a big hug.
We may have all the things in life but sometimes there may be this unhappiness. Stay positive and things will be ok.
Shea, as a dental assistant I really understand and feel for you and know that your struggle is real. Child bearing can really deplete your teeth of calcium and cause severe decay and tooth loss. You are so beautiful and I love your personality. I hope there are no rude or mean comments on here, but if there are, those people are completely ignorant and stupid :)
Wow... this was exactly what I needed to watch today. I’m struggling since recently being divorced, and trying to find myself again. I’m a totally upbeat energized person as well, but I will say your “Happy & Healthy” comment really resinated with me. Thank you for sharing!
As a Dentist in both Connecticut and Florida, I have heard this type of situation many times. The best advise I can give, is to see someone that can diagnose why this occurred, how to resolve the problem and then restore your dentition to optimal form and function. There is a true oral/systemic connection that should be evaluated. Stress is a huge factor in many aspects of health including oral health.
Good luck in your quest for resolution and finding the correct team to treat you.
I am glad someone that knows about the topic replied! Also, I am not a doctor or anything, but I've heard about several women that after becoming mothers, they get a sort of calcium deficiency in their teeth. Is that even a thing? I know for a fact that both of my grandmothers had this (also, gave birth numerous times) and some other women of different ages.
Thank you Dr. "G M" for this piece of expert advice; I've been scared to even begin some light research on the topic of my own similar dental issues that I just *know* are present and will likely be worse than I expected, let alone to make my imminent dreaded dental appointment. Anyways...I appreciate so much to hear such relevant information from a credible professional today (without actually being on the phone/in an office with a local dental care provider), this comment, and Shae's video of course, gave me the push I needed to take my first step towards actually just biting the bullet** and schedule a consultation today. I apologize for this mellowdramatic, unwarranted 'personal issue' comment; I assure you that I'm speaking earnestly and perhaps for that reason, I felt strongly moved to express my gratitude. One never knows when they might actually be speaking life-changing words--so just had to let you and Shae know how much you helped a random person online today! Ha in a real way. OK I'm done now 😅😳🤞 Good vibes and all the best to you and yours.
**pun originally unintended ha & I do know how poor of a practice it generally is to "bite the bullet", chew the ice, etc 🙃
God bless yall
Flouride doesnt work and is not healthy
When i was pregnant w/ my child (1986, I read that, teeth will have problems during pregnancy. To make sure to take calcium supplements. I did experience a tooth problem so I made sure i took my supplements during pregnancy then all were good thereafter.
I have broken or lost all of my teeth. I have 2 autoimmune diseases, lupus and sjogrens. Sjogrens syndrome is the name for the autoimmune disease that has been the primary destructive force that have destroyed my teeth and gums. I had never had a cavity until I was is my 30s. It was treated with a tooth colored filling, which became loose and fell out and was replaced repeatedly until I was convinced that I had no choice but a root canal and crown. I had gotten sick the last month before my kindergartener classes ended for the school year in May. I was unable to get out of bed for the entire summer vacation and was diagnosed with mononucleosis and Epstein Barr Virus. That was the end of any normal life and my health began to seriously deteriorate in so many areas that I couldn't believe I had no other diagnosis months later after the mono should have been long gone and yet I was falling apart and my joints, muscles, bones, skin, sinuses, throat, ears, glands, teeth etc. were in neverending pain and I always had fever and just wanted to sleep as I was exhausted 100 percent of the time and spent so much time trying to get any extra rest or sleep as I possibly could and felt like I was failing at life, crying in bed. I somehow continued raising my daughters, and kept teaching for another 7 years but I was in unbearable pain and the misery and exhaustion was depressing and I was terrifyingly gaunt, losing my hair, severely underweight and had developed a mouth full of cavities, cracks, constant ulcers, blisters in mouth, swollen taste buds, swollen cuts and 10/10 pain plus facial nerve pain, gum disease, parotid disease and insufficient and unhealthy saliva issues, and a failed root canal and for 2 years, I worked a 2nd job and put every dime left after bills and my responsibilities as the sole provider raising 2 daughters 100% of the time towards having every issue on my extensive treatment plan for every tooth treated, and completed, using monthly cleanings and fluoride treatments, sealants applied, several new root canals, crowns, fillings, bonding and extractions...only to have those teeth begin to fall apart and break ans and lose the new fillings and crowns in less than 6 months and I have been in a descent of pain, shame, infection, abscesses, extensive extractions and surgery for severe dental disease and infection in so much pain for almost 10 years now, as I am in absolute hell, and I no longer work or have any life or even a close friend or family member. My teeth break off at gum line.I have 8 badly damaged teeth left and they hurt all of the time. The dentists keep pushing me to go the implant route and I will never afford that. I have nothing but medicaid and I can't afford dentures, which 3 dentists said would not work out well. But I can't go through these cycles of sheer misery and agony while eating mush and still my teeth continue to break or crumble or crack and I have pain, infection, failed dental cleansing, suffer with major oral problems implication .I have broken or lost all of my teeth.

You're absolutely correct that everyone has their own thing in their life. So, don't diminish yours. Thank you for sharing. I can't imagine that it was an easy decision to tell us. Pray that you heal and find relief quickly. Love watching your channel. Found you just by chance and so glad I did! Hugs!
My heart goes out to you. I can't even imagine a root canal failing. Thank you for sharing. You will make it through this.
Much empathy for you. I had about 4 years of continual dental problems that are now resolved but during that time I remember realizing how significant it was to struggle with dental issues I had never had before. There was continual discomfort especially when eating. It's very real. I wish you the best and continued healing and resolution. Be well.
It’s ok to not “be okay “ it’s human. Praying for you and this struggle. Thanks for the transparency it helps everyone understand no one’s life is perfect.
As a former dental professional, I can totally understand how your teeth can affect so many aspects of your life. I pray you will find the help you need and bless you for being transparent about this issue. Sending support & virtual hugs from the North 🇨🇦😊
I love what you do and how you do it! You bring fresh joy and energy with each video.
I hope the struggles will consistently get less and less till it’s just a thing of the past. We out here know your diligence in doing what is best and we are here for you. Lots of love
Wow, I’m so sorry that you are going through this. A lot of us take these simple liberties for granted. Praying for a full recovery and total health.
The things we take for granted. Something as simple as eating, holding your bladder, moisture in your eyes, full head of hair (no matter the texture), etc. are things we just never think about. Thank you for sharing your story.
Oh Shea…can totally relate. After having twins (my 2nd and 3rd kids), my teeth went downhill fast. Root canals, teeth removed, cracked teeth…one New Years Eve a tooth that I had a root canal on FELL OUT. I, too, avoid hard foods for the same reason. I DREAD going to the dentist, knowing there will be more bad news. Thank you for sharing. I so appreciate you being vulnerable, and you’ve helped ME feel better about my teeth issues, because I feel some people think it’s because I eat unhealthy. Praying for you, girl. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your struggles. Will be praying for you.
Omg after my 5 kids my teeth just went to hell maybe it started before the fifth kid. Thank you for sharing I thought I was the only one
Omg! The dentist absolutely stresses me out for the same reasons. The weird things I don’t have kids my teeth just betrayed me!
Same!! It's embarrassing and scary that every time I am at the dentist, more and more work needs done. I'm to the point almost no tooth in my mouth hasn't had something. 3 crowns, two root canals, several fillings and chips. All happened within a few years of having kids. It's something I don't talk to anyone about
Aww, same-a month after giving birth to my twins a tooth died and it was the worst pain of my life. I’d do all my births in a row again rather than have had the tooth pain. Thankfully a friend told me to pull it instead of the root canal which can channel bacteria to your bloodstream but it was awful.
Thank you for sharing this personal struggle of yours with all of us. That took a lot of courage and humility. It just emphasizes the fact that we are all human, we all face our own challenges, and we can rely on our community of people to help see us through ☺️
Shea: still thinking about you. I have Sjogren’s and get carie’s constantly. I’ve lost weight it affect many facets of my day, every day. I get what your saying and there’s nothing wrong with getting a little support and love by sharing! I’m sure we are all honored that you felt you wanted to share. Still am wishing you well.
I have Sjogren’s too, and even though I tried my best to take care of my teeth, it affected them. Now, I can’t afford the $20,000 to get two teeth implants and a crown. I don’t know why insurance doesn’t cover teeth very well! Our mouths and teeth are the gateway to the health of our entire body!
Just because someone’s struggles are different or “lesser,” that doesn’t make them easier. While I know what it’s like to have people making negative comments on your skinny-ness, I can only imagine how rough it is to deal with so many issues with your teeth, such a vital part of the body’s functioning. I hope you find your full happiness again - sending prayers your way!
Well said
Shea, I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with all this. I really recommend you see a therapist to work through all the conflicted feelings you are dealing with regarding this issue. I didn't have teeth issues but I had similar issues where I felt like I didn't deserve to feel how I was feeling and seeing a therapist REALLY helped. They can help you validate, understand, and unpack your emotions and you deserve that.
Thank you for sharing your story! Yes, everyone has struggles, but yours are totally valid. Anything that weighs you down and burdens not just your health but your heart is absolutely valid! I hope you find answers and healing soon! Praying for you!
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise I have to invest a lot of time every day to look after my teeth - I’m not someone who can get away with a cursory brush twice a day.
I have a lot of sympathy for anyone suffering with their teeth, or neuralgia pain… Every swallow of food or drink, or just talking, or even touching your face, can be agony. You are right, Shea, being pain-free is priceless, and I am thankful that I am, currently. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you (and anyone else who is suffering).
Oh, Shea! 😞 You have briefly mentioned your teeth issues in the past. Clearly, it was not easy giving an in-depth explanation about your serious teeth concerns. Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your struggles along your journey. 🤗 I'm praying for you to find some answers and solutions. 🙌🏾❤🙏🏾
You just earned even more respect from all your viewers. It is amazing to know how, despite your health issues, you came such a long way with your You Tube Channel. You are a fighter Shea and I am sure you will be able to fight all the teeth issues and conquer them. Sending you best wishes all the way from Germany!
I think as women we have to ALL remind each other and get out of the habit of discounting our suffering. You aren’t whining and making a big del out of nothing. This is something that matters and you deserve to have compassion for this. Sending you healing vibes.
Hey Shea. I hope you’re getting through this time and that the struggles have made you even stronger. You truly are a beautiful person and When people are hurtful it’s a reflection of themselves, as we know. You are caring and sincere and you deserve true happiness and fulfillment, whatever that means to you and it will get better. I’m glad to hear you are seeing someone that believes and is trained in holistic health because that will get to the core of the issue rather than covering it with a band aid. I wish you good health in your future..hang in there girl and have faith that you’re exactly where you should be. God gives us struggles that he knows we can overcome. You got this 💗
I’ve had 2 root canals. One after another. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. I am praying for you. You are strong. Seeing someone who can take care of all of this seems like a good idea. You’ve been dealing with for so long. Maybe you can put it to an end soon. Your channel is so fun. Thank you for hanging in there, even with all you are going through.
I’m so sorry Shea. I started crying when you welled up talking about how happy and healthy your boys are, and how thankful you are for that. I really hope things get better for you soon.
❤️😭 So sorry. U never know what another person is dealing with! Chronic pain/health issues with the teeth is one of the worst. U r handling it with courage and grace. I think u should share this, AND keep us posted. 👍 We know how much u appreciate the good things u have- and while that all helps, this is the ' real deal crap' that happens. No shame in needing to vent. Hang in there.
I'm so glad you shared this. I'm convinced that we can't always know how much our words and story have helped or will help others. We may never know but I do know others' have greatly helped me through the worst of times. I was a young widow and more recently on disability from complications of one surgery, which, due to treatment of that, they found I needed a completely unrelated, well, neurosurgery. It sounds like a lot, and in the moment, it felt really frustrating and upsetting and it was smack in the early stages of covid also. All the medical specialists, appts, waiting and tests, similar to your situation, was a maddening struggle. I can empathize with what you're talking about. I'm fully recovered now but literally what got me through was God and taking everything one dang day at a time❤
Just came across this video. I have had issues with my teeth since my first pregnancy. I FULLY understand what you're going through. I have actually gotten to the point where I am like, okay, screw it, dentures. I have spent THOUSANDS on my teeth and everything fails. I still have some natural teeth but also crowns, implants, etc...but at this point, I feel like just having them all pulled and going with dentures. It sucks so bad!
Shea, I am so sorry to see you go through this. I cried while you were talking about your problem.
The one thing that I admire about you is the fact that while you talk about your teeth problem and complain about, you don't forget the wonderful things in your life. That is a great character and you are a good person. I hope your issues with your teeth get better.
Everybody struggles, just because there are others with worse struggles doesn’t make yours any less. I struggle every day. I think God though for his help through this. Prayers for you and healing! I love watching !!
This basically tells you and when I say “you” I mean people that no ones life is perfect. Everyone is dealing with something, doesn’t matter who you are. I also have teeth issues aside from the bronchitis and pneumonia issues. So I know how frustrating, depressing and expensive this is. I send you love and understanding.
Girl you’re my best friend you have no idea how much advice valuable tips and humor you share with me ♥️ so sharing this and whatever is you’re struggling I, like many, am so willing to hear you out! Praying for you for what you shared and what you keep in your heart 🙏🏼 I hope everything gets better very soon. XX
Oh Dear one. I’m so glad you shared your struggles. Thank you for sharing your humanness. I hope and pray you will find relief…a lasting relief. You are loved. 💖💖💖
I'm so sorry you're going through this, Shea. I'm sure your video will help a lot of people going through the same thing. ♥️ ~ Jennifer
Thank you for your honesty I also have dental issues I have had root canals retreated if failed. Sometimes an option.
Holistic is not a priority but the best trained and educated dentist is a priority
My “general/main” dentist is a prosthodontist which requires 3 additional years of education in restorative dental issues. He is in Miami My Endodontist is “best school” trained and recommended by my dentist.
I have had “nice” dentist but I want “the best” to be providing my dental care.
I’m not saying you dentist are not fabulous but education (plus the latest technology) can provide up to date care
I’m sorry to hear you are going through this
Body shaming is for bullies that are jealous
You are Beautiful
God bless you and you family❤️
Shea, please don’t minimize what you’re going through! Yes, we all have issues, but yours affects every area of your life. How can it not? I will pray for you, I promise!
Shea believe or not I do understand and I can totally relate. Everyone one does have problems but that has nothing to do with your situation or how your hurting. I really am sorry and Im going through something I never thought I’d have to deal with. Unfortunately it is life but that doesn’t make it any easier. I too am very blessed I’m so many ways but that doesn’t make the hard times easier at the moment. Know your in my prayers and the one thing I do know is God can literally do anything nothing he cannot handle. I’m hoping you get better and find someone or someway to get this situation handled and I know you will By the way sweet girl I love your videos, they make me happy 🤩
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for sharing. I’m praying for you!
Will put you on my prayer list that your health issues resolve soon. With all you’re going through you still have a beautiful smile and your videos bring a lot of happiness to your followers so remember you have thousands of people who care ❤️🩹Nancy
I had a similar circumstance after my pregnancy….went to the dentist- 9 cavities, over the years I ended up having teeth pulled, root
canals, a bridge etc. nightmare. I’m at the point now I don’t even want to go for a cleaning as I’m afraid of what they’ll find. I would cry myself to sleep over it….your teeth are such an integral part of your body. You are not alone-stay strong you will overcome this ❤️
Me too!!
Me as well
Me too and teeth problems truly cause depression 😔
Me too! 😢
Just discovered you tonight . Love your videos.
I must tell you about a product for your mouth. It will kill the bacteria in your mouth BEFORE you get your dental work done. From what I understand, this has happening for years. The bacteria in our mouth gets into our bloodstream while having work done; therefore causing all kinds of issues.
It’s called TheraGel by Aroga.
It’s made up of Aloe & essential oils. Swish and swallow! It continues do do great things in the body.
It’s also a great pain reliever ; trust me I speak from personal experience!! Go ahead and get the 6pack 8 ounce bottles. Great for skin and scars and burns!
It’s truly amazing!
God bless you and give you strength through your struggles. 🙏🌈🕊
I'm so sorry. I hope you get relief and find out how to heal this tooth/bone problem. Thank you for what you do here. Your videos give us viewers something positive and fun to watch while we struggle through our own issues. Thank you for being real. Thank you for sharing.
Praying for your swift and continuous healing, Shae!
Everyone struggles with something but this sounds relentless and that’s what is so hard. We all need a break from our struggles. Praying for a healthy mouth 👄 for you lovely lady!!
Just wanted you to know this is only the second video of yours I ever watched, but immediately could read how genuine you are and humble. I subscribed right away and will pray for this pain to be gone.
Went through just 1 root canal and it was awful so I really feel for you💔
I’m so sorry for your struggles. Thank you for sharing. It takes a lot of strength to be so open. May you have healing and may you stay resilient.
Omg I can only imagine the stress,pain, and expense of this! Teeth issues can affect your life so much- I’ve been there - not to the same extent but I understand - hang in there!!!
“My cat is looking at me right now. She’s a lovely cat.” I laughed at that so hard. Thanks for sharing, sending you love and healing!
I laughed too 12:21 , I wish her cat had been in the shot for that 😻
Not seeing your cat on camera, miss him / her. Alas, perfection is pretty much impossible. Yes, go see the expert or consult on zoom before you commit.
You've got this girl. Your virtual family loves you especially MEEE ❤ 💗 💕 💛 thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry you have been struggle for years. You are amazing and hope you can fully recover. God bless you!
I'm so sorry you're going through all of that. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. We care for you and hope you get better soon!
Regarding your weight, this is just such a solid case of “you never know what people are going through, so be nice”. You look great, you don’t look unhealthy. I’m so so sorry you’re struggling through this, I can’t imagine how frustrating this is for you. ❤️
My friend got over a rigorous round of chemo and radiation. At 45 she was lucky she survived. Hence massive weight loss. She got strong enough to join a gym. To promote muscle mass and destress. At the gym, a woman who thought she was a HBIC (high bish in charge), said to get "What are you working out so hard for, your a stick". My friend reached into her shirt and showed her port line. Then said with her voice that's now a whisper (due to radiation frying her vocal cords) "Cancer. Need to get stronger". NO ONE NEEDS TO COMMENT ON ANOTHER'S WEIGHT. it's rude and just because there's a revolution of "thicc chicks" doesn't mean a skinny person should be shamed. Sadly a year later her cancer is back. But yeah, it boils my blood when the body positive movement only applies to "curvy, slim thick" women.
@@mstea3232 It’s sickening how much people do it and don’t seem to care. In fact they seem to enjoy it. I’ve been dealing with years of finger pointing, being laughed at in my face always at my local grocery store. I finally got to the point I laughed right back and responded: “Laughing at me for being so skinny? Hahaha!!! Yeah I’m only 96 pounds! How much are you?! Lol! I hope you never get sick and lose all your baby fat! Boy oh boy… the looks those 19-20 ur olds gave me lol… They don’t like rudeness but sure do love to do it to other. Funny thing is after that time it never really happened again. Now I just stare at their grocery carts full of junk food…. Then happily look at mine is full of the best juices, organic fruits and veggies. Trashy low class mean girls don’t like classy elegant ladies. We make their blood boil.
Your struggles are valid like anyone else’s no matter how blessed you are.
So sorry for your struggle. Sending you prayers 🙏🏼 and hugs. 🤗 You’re right, everyone has a struggle. I truly enjoy watching you.
I just discovered your videos and I love them been binge watching them for two days, you provide a lot of good product info. You are a beautiful soul, pay no mind to ignorant jealous people as there will always be criticism and I have to say no one is perfect we all have personal issues. I think you look fabulous I absolutely love your hair, its so gorgeous and vibrant! Please keep on doing what you're doing as you are teaching all of us (especially us old people as I am 69) but the products you promote are absolutely wonderful. THANK YOU, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!
Shea, I'm so sorry you've had to cope with this dental ordeal - and for a decade. Thank you for being vulnerable and for sharing your story. You are helping others to know they aren't alone. I am praying for a resolution for you. XO
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle. Everyone of us has something that gives us anxiety so you are definitely not alone. Take care and be kind to yourself. 🌺
Shea I feel your pain, stay strong, you’ll get through this. I’ll keep you in my prayers and you keep doing what you’re doing cause you make a difference I just hope you can get some results from your Condition.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry you are struggling with it. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to struggle with something like this for so long! Keep pushing forward. You are in my prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️
I have two dental implants and the amount of time, energy, money and hassle (and a lot of pain) is very real. I'm so sorry to hear you are going through a hard time. Be good to yourself Shea.
Omg this sounds horrific! I can't believe you can carry on SO productively and positively with this going on in your life! Seriously...thank you for sharing! I think you're setting a really great example by making this video. Thank you so much! 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing. It helps, I think, when we can talk about our struggles. There’s only one perfect being in this world and we all have something we’re dealing with. May God continue to bless you as you go through this difficult journey ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your openness and honesty is a beautiful thing. And I love that you stress that we all have struggles. I strongly believe that your teeth are a gateway to your health. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this. Keep on being your beautiful self, inside and out.💖💖
The most heartfelt video ever coming from anyone. I have so much more love and respect for you now for sharing this🙏🏻❤️
THIS HIT SO HARD. 🥺 I went through a lot of this too. People think “they’re just teeth,” but they forget that talking, eating, smiling, so many things rely on that part of your body. I went through so many fillings, root canals, abscesses, broken teeth, etc. SO MUCH PAIN. 🥺 It causes so much emotional stress from having difficulty in doing basic, regular, normal things that other people take for granted. It got to the point where they told me that I could spend the money on reconstruction, with no guarantees, but it could be THOUSANDS down the drain. Two and a half years ago, I just told them to just take my teeth, I was done. I had my entire upper arch extracted and replaced, and the post-op pain (which honestly sucked) was almost therapeutic, compared to the pulsating mass of infection that was trapped in my jaw that just wouldn’t heal. A lot of my chronic sinus issues and ear infections went away, which was huge. I also haven’t had strep again since I was extracted, and I don’t know if that was related, but it’s still a win. People don’t understand the pain unless they’ve been through it, like you and I have. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this too, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It literally affects someone on a daily basis, 24/7. I hope that you’re able to finally get some answers, and it sounds like you have a good oral health team that you trust, which makes things a little easier. ❤️
I went through the same thing with my teeth, extractions, root canals, implants etc lot of pain from constant procedures. Hang in there. I have a great team of dentists too, they have helped me with my teeth and my emotions. I’m a nurse and it was so important to feel well for my patients. Try to stay positive it will get better.
Seems like I was born with terrible teeth. I’ve always gone to the dentist every 6 months since I was a kid.I brush, floss and use a water pik daily but nothing helps. I have new cavities every visit! My husband on the other hand sees a dentist like every ten years and they tell him he has perfect teeth! I’ve had so much dental work that I hate even looking at my X-rays because you see it all. So frustrating to live like this. 😞
@@rubygregory1992 same same same !! i take such good care of my teeth and my husband doesn't and im the one full of problems 😞🤦🏻♀️
Well said.
I went through the same after having my 2nd daughter. She’s 7 and I’m still dealing with it. I’m just taking it one day at a time that’s all I can do. Hang in there. 💕
Your honesty can help a lot of people. This hardship can help you to relate to people and situations you might have never even thought about before. To me, people that have suffered are beautiful. I will pray that your suffering is not in vain.
❤️
As someone who spent too much time at the dentist for a number of years, I can empathize. During this time period, I was in great angst and my stress level was quite high. I do not minimize this issue in anyone's life. It can truly be overwhelming!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
SHEA! Leaving my comment (story?) here to maybe offer some hope to you and others.
I'm in my late 20s now and I had jaw pain and bite issues from the first time with braces as an early teen. Got my braces off, but by my senior year of high school I suddenly had an open bite. My orthodontist put me back in braces, but by college I had an open bite AGAIN, even with intense retainers (and lots of gum recession as a result), and I was pissed. Things went on until my mid 20s when the jaw pain came back and it was *bad*. I could hardly eat, was on a soft food diet. Once again, my bite was getting worse, and I noticed my lower jaw and face was... really small? I basically had no chin. I was insecure about my face, my bite, and couldn't believe this was my life.
Lots of details later, but I ultimately learned I have a rare thing called idiopathic condylar resorption, so quite literally since my teen years my lower jaw bone has been eroding away. This caused my bite to open up and for my face to look super weird and unattractive. I am now waiting for a total joint replacement for my jaw. Only one tooth touches, my jaw joints are in pain every day, I am in braces for the third time, and have extensive tooth damage for all the years of orthodontic work. I have never had a defined and normal jaw line in my adulthood. All of this to say that, after finding the right care providers (and fighting insurance), the only life I've known of teeth pain, jaw pain, sleep apnea, etc. is about to end (for the better). Don't listen to the naysayers who are not walking in your shoes. Your mouth is critical to your wellbeing, and pain is never ok no matter where the pain originates. Continue to see the right providers, get other opinions, until this gets resolved. It CAN and WILL get better!
Also, if you have not already, perhaps get checked for Sjogren's - an autoimmune disease that can cause tons of teeth problems.
Rooting (pun intended!) for you Shea!
Hun the struggle is real! I’ve had problems with my teeth and it does affect your whole body. I have a vitamin D deficiency and it destroyed my teeth and I grieved over the issue and the fallout. I’m praying for you. Hang in there ❤️
I damaged my gums permanently when I was pregnant. I brushed tooo hard and too often because I was worried about cavities. Now I have super sensitivity to hot and cold. But you nailed it, it’s an invisible issue only we feel. Thanks for sharing. I stress every time it’s time for my dental appointment. I love my dentist and she has an amazing team of hygienists.
Shea, you are so down-to-earth and it is so brave of you to share this with us. You are lovely and I give you praise. You are a real person and I have a whole new respect for you. You are right, health is so important. I send you my support!
I feel you so hard on this. I've spent 10k on my teeth this year and I'm still not done. I'm tired of dentists and it never seems to end. I'm working on 5 implants, 2 sinus lifts and many bone grafts. I'm trying to hold on to my gratitude because at least I can afford these treatments. I'm generally upbeat, but there are bad days. I'll get past this and so will you. We are the lucky ones!!
I spent 35k in the last year root canals bridge 5 implants was so expensive and I have no dental insurance so I had to pay out cash for all this work..thank god I’m finally done!
@@tanyaperales6681 dental isn’t like medical. You get maximums they’ll pay out and you blow through that pretty quick. And they hardly cover the expensive stuff (implants) that’s usually the most expensive 😏
Please never feel that your struggles are invalid because they are not as bad as others everyone struggles with something! Also I’m so proud of you for opening up about this ❤️
Edit: Thank you guys so much for the likes! I’m glad to see that people agree 🥰
You are right when you say that everybody has something they deal with. Even the most perfect appearing situation has a dark spot because that is life. The best approach is to know that applies to everybody and be kind since you may never know the degree of another’s suffering!❤️
I couldn't have said this any better!
Well said!!!!
Beautifully said 🙏💙
Your distress is real. Yes we all have stuff for sure. It's ok to be honest . you have had a horrendous ordeal that is not resolving. Grateful you have a great team of professional people . Baby steps your doing the best you can. Hugs from Canada
I am so sorry for you. Thank you so much for your honesty. All the best for your health!!
Hi Shea, it is very true that we all struggle with things in life, but we also all have "that one thing" that we wish "if I just didn't have this" our lives would be better. Thank you for being willing to share because it makes us vulnerable. It also makes us "real". I applaud your courage. Thank you for telling your story.
