So feel free to ignore this but I just had to get it out somewhere and be frustrated for a few minutes and move on. So I hate the dentist, it gives me wicked anxiety etc but I try my best to go regularly, or close to it, anyways and had an appointment this past week. So a little back story, in High School I had braces, the guy that did them pretty much screwed up, had me go through an invasive oral surgery but chose not to remove my baby tooth in front that I now still have, he never fixed my underbite so I still had jaw issues and my retainers didn't fit right. So my teeth are now no longer straight, I've started to have a lot worse jaw pain all that fun stuff and I hate that way my teeth look...but I just suck it up because it is what it is.
Well it turns out my braces caused gum recession(apparently this is actually common?) and I have to go see a periodontist....except my insurance won't even cover a consult never mind the grafting surgery I would need. And 2 of my front teeth are already loose because of the recession(although 1 is a baby tooth so really that was bound to happen eventually). So they basically told me I need to have the grafting surgery(which freaks me the hell out) or it is a matter of when my 2 front teeth fall out, not if. But of course the surgery will cost at least $3,000 which I can not even close to afford.
So at the moment I am just frustrated, upset and trying to figure out what to do.....and though it is not the dentists fault..I hate going to the dentist, at least I could have been in denial for awhile haha So thanks for listening to me bitch.
