I'm 14. My teeth are horrible. Didn't Go To Dentist.. Hole Got BIGGER and BLACKER. *PICS*

Its been months now. I've had this hole in my tooth for so long. I've been through antagonizing pain with it, but nope. That didn't get me and my anxiety/panic disorder to the dentist. It actually gets sensitive on and off. It finally caved. Almost the WHOLE tooth chipped off when I was brushing my teeth. I rinsed my toothbrush, slid my tongue across my teeth, and I was horrified and started crying lol. I JUST have the outer edges. Its SO thin and so breakable though. Its dead. I feel no pain on it now. I'm trying everything I can do to get the sharp edges to stay until I get to the dentist. I actually have this issue where i've been sleeping from 10am - 7pm though. ( Thanks alot anxiety. ) How can I get to the dentist? This is horrible. My mom can't take me early in the morning, she has work at 7am!!!! The edges is now black, and its black on the tooth now as well. I guess im just wondering, what will the dentist DO?


Oh by the way, I also have 5 cavities on my bottom teeth ( 2 on one tooth. ) , A small hole in a top molar on the other side of my mouth, and the entire back chipped off of a molar at the very back. And all of my teeth are very weak due to freaking grinding. Ugh.

Bless you honey, that looks sore, even tho' you say it isn't.

Now, I am not a dentist, but that doesn't mean that even for a layman like myself, that looks as if something needs to be done to it, particularly for your own dental health, so I think that it is important for you to get to see a dentist, sooner rather than later.

You have youth on your side sweetie, and to get the problems with your teeth fixed now, will ensure that you have a whole lotta years ahead of you with a healthy mouth and you also. Your mum works early hours, and you currently are sleeping during 'normal opening hours', so what I think you need to try and sort out, is, do you have another 'responsible adult' who can accompany you to the dentist? And is there any chance that you could get either an earlier appointment or as late an appointment during the day, so that with as little disruption to your current situation, you are able to get the treatment that you need.

What I am worried about with you and getting the treatment that you need is that if there is not a little 'movement' with regards to having someone accompany you and your sleep routine, that the inevitable will just keep being put on the back burner, and if that happens, it will lead to you not getting the treatment that you so deserve to give you back your beautiful teeth.

I hope this happens for you sweetie.
