#my teeth are a huge insecuriry of mine.. theyre so crooked abd ugly

[stabyou]

teddy got me on his dental insurance finally and im so happy i feel like crying because as a child of poverty and a single parent i never got access to dentists, that was one of the last things on the agenda.. and when i finally did go again at 13/14, the medicaid dentists i got didn't care about the patients they had, and they ruined just about every single one of my teeth that they worked on. like the bad fillings that have almost all come out by now or the tooth they drilled TO THE NERVE and only stopped when i was bawling in the chair.

and i haven't had money since to get real dental work done. im missing two molars because they were beyond repair and i paid the money out of my pocket to pull them.. they were both teeth that needed root canals but they didn't do the right work on them, so over time they just had to be pulled. i have so many cavities exposed from the lost fillings. i brush and floss as much as everyone else does, multiple times a day. my teeth are just genetically really weak.. so having no access to dental care fucking sucked even more. but now i will be able to go without THOUSANDS out of pocket... literally i cried a little at the prospect of being able to chew without pain. i can barely imagine it
