Hi everyone,
OK this is embarrassing but I want to share.
As a child, I wasn't taught to brush my teeth by my parents. As you can imagine, I had multiple cavities by my teen years. It was only when my friends told me that my breath was terrible that I realised I was supposed to brush my teeth regularly 😢

I've had my cavities fixed since that time and I'm brushing my teeth regularly. But I'm still very self conscious about my mouth and teeth. I suspect I might have some hidden issues that can't be seen normally so today I made an appointment for an Xray and I want to have my teeth checked properly including roots etc. And perhaps I'll get braces for one crooked tooth I have.

Sorry guys for this embarrassing post. But I feel this is an important step on my mental health journey and self care.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
