Alright so here's some context, as a child my parents never cared about my dental hygiene, as expected my mom has dentures and my dads teeth are rotting out of his head. I vividly remember being very young, I still had all my baby teeth at the time and I didn't even start school yet. I was in my brothers room and I had a TERRIBLE toothache, my parents didn't do anything about it for the longest time. Finally I was taken to the dentist, they did the check up and what not. One day my parents take me to the dentist, I was put under. I woke up with no pain, but a bunch of silver caps in my mouth. I am now 18 and I have 10 fillings, one of which is large (and in the same spot of my main problem tooth as a child.) I haven't had issues in almost 3 years but I really wish I could go back in time and brush like I do now. Now I'm stuck with these fillings that will ultimately have to be replaced a numerous amount of times, I already know root canals, crowns, and extractions are going to be apart of my future. I don't like knowing that I'm gonna have to get this work done. I shouldn't have this many fillings for my age. I hate this.
It's coming to the point where I can't even function, I'm always depressed over my teeth. I look at my friends, coworkers and other people my age and they have almost no dental related problems. I hate my teeth, I wish I could just start over. On top of this all I'm dealing with a lot of other traumatic events in life right now.
I just want to be able to eat properly and travel without constantly worrying if my fillings are going to fall out or if they're going to crack.
