I went to the dentist last summer and when the assistant showed the dentist, I overheard them laughing at my x-rays because my teeth are in such bad shape. I haven't been back to any dentist since and I'm totally ashamed to smile. I don't know how my teeth got so bad but being laughed at is devastating. I diet and excerise take good care of myself but yet my teeth are just getting worse and worse. It took so much courage to go to the dentist, but when I heard them laughing (not a loud laugh-but chuckles and a "Oh my God!") I decided to just deal with it. I now realize I can't. It's even hard for me to hold on to a relationship because I can't seem to let a man get close to me. I push people away. I'm 38 years old and ready to start smiling without covering up my teeth with my hands. I live in Bronx, New York and I'm looking for sensitive, professional dental treatment. I have medicaid Health First as my insurance. I would even put in money from my income tax. If you know of anyone or if a dentist is reading this, I would really like for you to send me a personal message. It's time for me to start living and being happy....but I also want to be treated with respect and dignity.
Thank you
