Due primarily to fear of going to the dentist, I haven't seen a dentist for a very long time. I know I have periodontal disease since I have recessed gums and can visibly see tartar on many of my teeth. I will probably need to have several treatments done over a period of time, possibly even 12 months.
I don't think my family/friends knows the extent of my bad teeth yet so I want to keep this concealed from them. I work from home so there are no coworkers.
I live with my parents now. I am planning on taking a "vacation" after getting any treatment done that would make it obvious I had seen a dentist, returning only after the swelling or any pulled teeth are replaced. This would be the cheaper option but there is a risk that the dental or periodontal clinic will mail me checkup reminders, etc. which would obviously reveal my treatment. The other option is for me to move out, it would cost me an extra $700 a month though.
I have about $50000 saved up. My living expenses over 12 months would be about $20000 so I can spend up to $30000 on fixing my teeth, I am worried this is not enough money as I will probably need all sorts of treatments.
Thoughts?
