I was told a couple years ago that I need to have SO much work done. I need to have wisdom tooth extracted, cavities filled, periodontal treatments(I have gum disease!), surgery, AND braces to bring down an impacted cuspid and straighten my teeth.
For someone who fears dentists, this was way too much for me to hear when i finally got the guts to go to the dentist. Basically the dentist visit prior to that they never mentioned all of this, so I was pretty traumatized when I heard about the years worth of treatments I would need.
SO- I have been putting this off for years, and my smile is the ONLY thing holding me back looks-wise. It really takes a toll on my self esteem, but I just haven't been able to get the guts to get these things started. I just can't even make the first appointment to go back! can some one help me figure this out? I don't want to lose my teeth, I am only 26 years old and have gum disease and all these other problems, but I am so scared to do anything about it. People have made comments about my teeth behind my back and I overheard them. It makes me so upset, so why can't I just go get this started already?!
HELP!
