It felt so long ago...

I remember when I was 17 and I finally went to the dentist after time and time of being too scared to go. At the time my teeth were slowly getting worse and worse and I barely even knew how bad my teeth were getting. My back teeth were breaking apart and somewhat painful, so I had to see a dentist. I was so scared, I hate being judged and when they looked at my teeth apart of me already knew what they were going to say but I wasn't ready. I'm 19 now and I had seen so many dentist, I remember before they extracted one of my front tooth they told me I could possibly die due to it hitting my nerve. As a depressed and unhappy 17 year old this traumatized me horribly. I was too scared and embarrassed to even talk about my teeth out loud, I would talk in my head about it. I wish I had come across this website sooner but I had been reading a lot of peoples post and Its very comforting that everyone supports each other. Till this day I am still getting my teeth fixed, thankfully I have insurance so I will be able to get a couple of crowns. But still its so much stress even for a 19 year old.

And it hurts me the most because everyone always tell me I am so pretty but a lot of the times I dont feel it and its very difficult for me. I dont know what is to come of the future and I am scared, but I hope it will be good things and not unfortunate events like how my life has been going. Thank you to whoever is reading this.
