I've been anxious and fearful of the state of my dental health for over 15 years. I'm 27 now and I cannot remember when I went to the dentist last time.
My teeth have tartar on them and some really dark spots on the front teeth in particular. A large cavity in a molar, a wisdom tooth that came out weird and is now jagged, which is hurting my cheek and getting lots of food stuck.
I know I should've gone 10 years ago, but the shame has been unbearable. I'm not afraid of the pain, but the thought of someone actually looking at my teeth makes me super anxious. I'm also a little worried that the cost will be high, I know I'll need lots of fillings, and one, maybe two teeth extracted...
I want to thank all of you for giving me the courage to book my appointment, which is tomorrow afternoon. Without all the encouraging stories I've read on here I would've put it off for who knows how long. I want to show my smile again.. Will keep you posted
