All Life Insurance Tips

23 no dentist?

Im 23 and basically my whole life Ive never been to the dentist , I went once when I was 13 to have a tooth pulled but other than than I never went to the dentist , my parents never had enough money to take us. Now that Im older and I have my own kids I know how important it is to take them to the dentist every 6 months. About 4 years ago I noticed my teeth started decaying , the back two molars are almost completely gone from cavities and I have other cavities that are now coming up but it has never hurt until now - I can barely talk and all my words are slurred because my teeth are sooo sensative. I know its important that I see a dentist right away but Im scared and embarrassed that my teeth are soooo bad and Im scared about what the dentist is going to say. Im also scared about how much money it is going to cost me , I dont have insurance for myself . Any advice or tips on how to deal with this situation or maybe a dental Insurance info can help ??? And what can I expect when Igo.

1. HAve you tried getting on medicaide? Try doing that, you may be approved. When you go to the dentist, they will inspect your teeth, take some dental x-rays and the dentist will take a look inside your mouth. He'll tell the assistant which ones can be save and which one will have to come out. If things are really bad, he might refer you to an oral surgeon. If you have to have them all pulled, you can get dentures made ahead of time, and then after your teeth are pulled, they can give them to you. Best to go apply for this rather than get a massive infection.
