A bit about me: I'm a 15 year old currently living in Canada. When I was younger my parents didn't encourage me to brush or take care of my teeth and I've only now gotten into the habit of regular brushing and flossing. The last time I went to the dentist was when I was about 9 years old, and I haven't gone to one since then.
My gums are also relatively red, but they do not hurt or bleed when I'm brushing / flossing. As for my teeth, they're in a pretty bad state. I have several cavities on molars and I believe there is decay along my gumline on my bottom teeth. They're appalling and I'm ashamed of what the dentist will think if I go to them.
However, I'm not sure what my options would be. Is it be possible for me to schedule an appointment and go alone as a 15 year old? My family is going in a financial hardship, and I'm pretty sure that we're uninsured. What are my options? Thanks for the support.
