I have the same fear that I'm going to be told that my teeth can't be saved. For a couple of years, I didn't care if I had to wear dentures eventually because it was one less thing that I would have to take care of. But now I don't want to wear dentures at the age of 23.

I've looked into getting dental insurance but I'm not sure since I am broke. I only recently returned to work 5 months ago and I'm almost caught up on my therapy bills. I'm tired of hiding my smile especially at work.

I told my brother that I'm going to make an appointment and I started shaking and crying just talking about it. I think I'm going to call a dental office first thing in the morning and beg to have a consultation ASAP. While I'm not in pain and I don't think I have any broken teeth, I need to be seen and reassured by the dentist that they can improve my teeth so I can obsess a little less and calm down. Klonopin is my best friend right now.
