I know this is wrong but I wanted to give enough info about my situation.
I've had several bad experiences with dentists....Like 5 years ago I had a bad dentist who told me not to worry about a cavity and it got to the point where I had to have a root canal...He botched it and broke a tool off iin there and dug around for weeks trying to get it out. Well he didn't and a year later I had to get that tooth pulled. Then a year later I went and got braces and 7 months later my ortho skipped town took my money and left me without treatment for months and I had to pay someone else to take them off. Needless to say I'm scared of dentists...
Well the past few years I've had several cavities and another root canal. My teeth have always been in bad shape period...Well this year in general I've had a lot of female problems and 2 surgerys to try and fix what is wrong. I'm on a high dose of hormones to "correct" that problem. I've had so much pain in that aspect of my life this year, that I can't take much more. Well My two top back teeth on both sides are chipped/broken up to the root and I can't even chew on the left side of my mouth from a root canal that never got a crown on it due to lack of money. That tooth now has a huge hole in it to my gum..My front teeth have a chip in between them and a most of them have little holes near the gum. A couple of them actually have pretty big holes..My bottom teeth are totally crooked and I'm missing a tooth from a prior extraction. The bottom line is that I've been afraid to go to the dentist this year and now that it's getting worse I know that i have to suck it up and deal with it. I really am at the point where if they can't fix this all in one wack while i'm asleep then I just can't deal with going and dealing with each tooth one by one. If it's as bad as i think it is I might just get them all pulled and get dentures, which would suck because i'm only 18!!!....I think as far as pain goes I can't handle anymore and it would be so much easier to just pull them all out and have a fresh pair of beautiful white STRAIGHT teeth. I'm not healthy enough to go to appointments every week because i'm not able to sit in the "chair'' for that long amount of time. Not to give to much information, but I have a severe bladder disorder and i can not sit there for hours without being able to go to the bathroom as soon as i need to. I already have to travel 3 hours north every week to get treatments for that.... What do you guys think? Am I being too hasty or should i just suck it up and keep my own teeth? Can they even fix it all in one wack while i'm sleeping? Would it be a mistake to get false teeth this early? Would it make my face look bad??? Thanks...
