Learned too late


Hello everyone. I'm a 29 year old from Michigan, U.S.A. I'm writing to finally open up about how bad my oral Heath is. I grew up in a pretty broken home and my parents never really cared about anything other than drinking and fighting with each other. So oral Heath was far down on the list of things to instill in their children. Now I'm 29, married, and have an amazing 1 year old son, and I'm in constant pain. My teeth are rotting out, I've had numerous infections and it got so bad that I even pulled one of my own teeth out to help subside the pain. Unfortunately, I'm not in a place where I can afford dental insurance and don't have the kind of money it would take to fix my teeth. I suffer from really bad anxiety and depression and I'm sure they're both linked to the fact of how embarrassed I feel. I never smile, I don't even like talking to people in fear that they will see my awful teeth. So if anyone takes anything from this please let it be this, take care of your teeth, see a dentist regularly. Or else you'll end up like me, just dealing with constant pain until all of your teeth rot out and then maybe be able to afford dentures by then. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for listening to my story.
