Today I heard the words "You have a cavity." I would love to know if there is any other phrase more humiliating than that. I've been in therapy for years trying to deal with the shame surrounding my teeth to no avail, and today it only got worse. Is there any way to deal with the humiliation of needing dental work, or is this just my sad lot in life?
The dentist also told me I really should do the Invisalign because of over crowding with my front teeth. He told me not doing it would cost me much more in the long run than doing it now. Of course it's "only" $257 a month. How do I know if he is telling me the truth or trying to "sell me a bill of goods." A second opinion would cost me another $200. Of course my filling is only going to be $400. I'm beginning to think I'm nothing more than another dollar bill to this guy. I just don't feel like I have any other options.
