Well in the new year I've decided it's time to finally tackle this problem before it's too late. I'm a 22 year old guy who is pretty broke. I have limited health insurance and need a TON of work. I have lots of broken/decaying teeth and I'm sure some that will have to come out.
As a kid I was going to the dentist almost twice a month for a period of 3 years or so. I was cursed with bad genetics from my mom and dad who both had teeth problems their entire lives. I didn't mind it so much as a child until my dentist started working less and I was given to the other "doctor" at the office. He had a knack for aiming for getting patients out the door as quick as possible and this often led lots of pain/shoddy work for me and others.
I think most of the my "anxiety" about dentists came after he decided to shut me in the office one day and basically scream at me for not taking care of "his work" and how he wasn't going to work on me any longer if I didn't change it. I had been somewhat lazy in taking care of my teeth but i was a 15 year old kid who had constant problems regardless of how hard I tried. Needless to say this greatly add to my already growing problems with my teeth/dentists.
The past year or so it's been driving me insane and I've basically stopped looking in the mirror. I can't eat most of the food I used to love and it's really depressing. So I'm aiming to conquer this problem but I don't feel too optimistic. I have bad credit and next to no money to invest in the process but I'm trying my best and just sent a request for an appointment to a local dentists and posted on facebook asking for good people to see. Basically I'm looking for alittle bit of hope since I'm trying but not feeling optimistic at all.
I don't know. I'm hoping posting on here will try and keep myself honest and not just give up like I'm prone to doing.
