I don't really know where to start. I have all but become a total hermit who never leaves my house and I am pushing away all the people I love and who love me because I am so embarrassed and ashamed. I have considered suicide many times because I just feel it is useless and I will never have the guts to go to the dentist.
my teeth are really bad, they started rotting from my gum line about 5 years ago and I have even broke off too. All that remains are little black stumps, these teeth are the ones next to my 2 front teeth so I barely open my mouth to speak because of this. I can't even bring myself to open my mouth and look at them, I brus them so gingerly because I am scared they will fall out or look worse if I brush them properly. I haven't been eating for a while now, I just live on noodles and other sft mashy things I don't need to chew. I am not in any pain (Which I find odd given the state of my mouth) and they do not even bleed when I brush them, but this is just a joke. I am unbelieavbly scared of going to the dentist, what they will say,what the assistant will think of me... I am only 24 and I am so ashamed I have let my teeth get into this state. I need to do something about it NOW cos I spend all day stressing that one of my front top teeth is about to go the same way and break off.
How can I find a caring understanding dentist who will not chastise me but just HELP ME? I can't talk to ANYONE about this and if someone mentions it to me like my partner will say "Babe you really have to see a dentist" and I run away crying, like a little kid. I have just had a baby 8 months ago ad I don't evn smile to him....
I really want my smile back - I haven't smiled for real in 5 years. I am worried about the cost cos I know it will cost thousands, I am receiving $15000 from an inheritance this May when I turn 25 and I am happy to spend every single cent to get my teeth fixed but I don't think my front tooth is going to hold out that long? PLEASE HELP where can I find a good dentist who will do what he needs to do and not lecture me? Can I get a valium or something before I go? As I said I cant even open my mouth to look at my teeth myself so I don't know how I'll go openig up wide to a complete stranger....
I AM SO ASHAMED. Please help me someone. I am all alone and cannot talk about this to anyone but I need somethng done ASAP.
