I have horrible teeth genetics in my family. My mom lost her teeth at a young age (she's had none for about a decade and she's 58), as did my grandmother on her side. I basically grew up in the dentist office because there was always problems with my spacing and oral health, but we grew up poor so there was only so much that could be done.
I just turned 24 , have no dental insurance, and need wisdom teeth removal now (2 impacted, 2 have grown in and show signs of cavities). I desperately want peace of mind knowing my teeth are healthy and well, but I don't know where to go or how I can receive treatment without it costing as much as college tuition. My teeth have just always been bad. My confidence has been low growing up because of it, and since I suffer from depression it makes it more difficult to deal with.
I keep putting off the dentist because of the expenses, and I know it's wrong. What can I do??
