Hey everyone!!
I am 25 years old and the last time I went to the dentist I was probably under ten years old. So, that should explain my teeth situation. I have always been scared of the dentist. My last memory of going to a dentist was when I was really young, I refused to let the dentist look at me, they tried to hold me down but that didn't work so they ended up sending me to an Emergency Room and having them do the work(I think it was to remove a cavity..I really don't remember)
Right now I am not exactly afraid of the dentist. I am just embarrassed of them seeing my teeth. We just got insurance and my husband is constantly bugging me about going since he is paying for it...guess I have no choice anymore and have to go lol. He doesn't really understand, though. He naturally has perfect teeth and has never had a cavity or dental pain in his life. I am so jealous!
My upper teeth are horrible. Every tooth except 3 are cracked to the gums and those 3 have cavities. I really don't think they are savable and even if they were I don't think it would be worth the time and money to fix them. I would definitely consider dentures.
My bottom teeth are not good looking at all they are crooked and yellow. I only have one cavity down there and I notice that a few are starting to develop cavities so I really need to start going to the dentist or they are going to end up just like the upper teeth. I wonder why they aren't as bad as the top?
Honestly, the fact that my teeth look horrible has never bothered me. I have been so good at hiding them, I never smile with my teeth, I cover my mouth when I laugh. A few days ago I took a picture of my teeth....I couldn't believe what I saw. They were so scary looking, I still can't believe that is me. It is so different than what the mirror shows. It is really depressing. I guess that made me realize I need to get help.
I have a dentist consultation Thursday.
