I'm going to lose so many teeth at such a young age, and it's my own fault.

I'm going to have my second tooth extraction in a month. I'm sure it could've been filled but I didn't go back to the dentist in an entire year. I have two teeth that the dentist actually listed as good for a filling on my treatment plan... but I didn't go back in a year. And now they're both root canals. I can't afford root canals. I have to have them all pulled. It's my fault, if I'd had them filled at the time I could have saved them. :(

I'm only 22 years old and I'm losing 4 to 5 teeth. I wish I'd cared more and not been such a coward. Living in denial, thinking I could wait until I built up the courage. I literally just want to go in a corner and die. My teeth are already this much of a disaster, why should I live to be 30-something.
