So the dentist I saw today was really not nice. She prescribed more antibiotics, pain meds and a mouthwash for plaque. Then she told me how horrible my teeth are and how it’s going to be like a 45+ min surgery and how they’ll have to cut bone in my jaw out because it’s so bad. Then she went in about how I should get partial dentures. Good thing she wasn’t there to see me cry because I was so scared because the kid in the other room was screaming and crying getting a tooth pulled or cleaned or filled. She’s not there when I cry because I’m so ashamed of my teeth. They can’t get me in for the extraction until the 18th. I understand it’s my fault. I have a tongue ring. I only drink soda. I don’t take care of my teeth well enough. I was bulimic and so on. She wasn’t there when I tried to quit soda and spent most of the time curled up almost crying because I was hungry all the time. She doesn’t realize my teeth hurt to much to brush regularly. How do I tell her I don’t want dentures because your not allowed to have them in a psych unit? Why do people have to be so mean when they don’t know the situation.

Yes I want fixed teeth maybe well enough that I can have a salad. I understand it’s thousands of dollars and medicaid doesn’t cover much. No insurance would cover all my needs. That if I don’t change all the work is for nothing. They are only focusing on one tooth right now what are they going to say when they x-ray all of them? I’m only going in because I can’t eat regularly. I’m not even chewing because I can’t chew on my right because I’m all gums over there and can’t chew on my left because my k-9 is infected and hurts and feels like it’s going to come out when I drink. Of course I’m still drinking soda I need to be able to function. She even said something about me taking a day longer to take all the other antibiotic. Come on lady the fact that I’m taking pills 2-3x a day is a really ****en big deal for me.
