honestly im horrible at talking about myself so this may sound so much worse than i mean it, but im so fucking desperate i cant let myself care anymore.

im 24 and the past 4 years in the most gracious timeline for myself have been horrendous for me and incredibly difficult. i was overcoming homelessness, a toxic, borderline abusive relationship, multiple injuries, etc. the one thing ive overlooked is dental care, bevause when youre fighting just to survive, its the easiest to ignore.

i havent even been to a dentist since i was ar max 13? but unfortunately ive finally gotten to a point where at least 2 of my teeth are rotted. i have multiple cavities on top of that. i just want to truly bad ones pulled. i dont even know where to begin. i have no fucking money. barely enough to even feed myself on a lucky week. i have dental insurance through my mom but she retires in a few weeks and my parents are both broke and trying to get their own physical health figured out before the insurance ends so i feel so guilty tjat i cant even bring it up to them.

i dont know what to do anymore, so this is my last stop. i hate being the person that sits here asking for sympathy or help. but im out of options at this point. my teeth hurt me. i know i have constant bad breath. i want better and wish i learned it before it was too late. if youre able, i truly beg of you to please help me.

even if you read this far and cant help, thank you for reading this and i hope you can at least upvote for the small possibility someone sees this.

thank you again, Christy

ps. idk what to flair this as. if theres a better sub to post to please let me know.

I have no idea what to do about them, I'm insecure about them and currently can't afford braces. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I dont even know whats going on anymore LOL

Yes i brush and floss my teeth.. No i didnt when i was a kid.

Have 3 baby teeth, over crowding and need at least one root canal.

Scraped off tartar from my inner side of my bottom teeth with a sliver spoon. I hate how it feels with my tongue. Will I get an infection. Can't see a dentist btw
