Thanks for the story! I’ve always liked Bryan Dattilo and I can’t wait to see his new smile when his character starts airing on Days of our Lives again. I saw a picture of him on Alison Sweeney’s blog recently and he looked quite different. I actually thought he had had plastic surgery but I suspect that this new smile was the reason he looked different. He looked much more distinguished in the picture I saw so I can’t wait to see what it looks like “live”. :)

My heart goes out to Bryan Dattilo. I know how he felt before he got his teeth fixed. Since I was a little girl the first thing anyone would say to me was what a beautiful smile. I have taken such good care of my teeth. However, now that I am 43 they’re falling apart. It’s hard enough scraping up enough money to put gas in my car to look for a job, but to have to pay out of pocket to get your teeth fixed is horrifying. My husband is self employed. We have to pay for our own health insurance that is around $1500.00 per month for us and our two children. This does not cover dental work. We had enough money so I could get a back tooth pulled out because we didn’t have the money to fix it. But now as I was watching your show II lost another filling. So as of now I a have lost three teeth, have one broken one next to my canine, and lost a huge filling. I can’t stand the thought of forgetting about my teeth and laugh at something funny. I do not smile anymore so people think I’m either a snob or just and angry person. It breaks my heart not to be able to smile for my children when I’m watching them do something wonderful at school or laugh at something funny they did when out in public. I want to give them that and I have no idea what to do. Does anyone out there have any advise for me?
