So I've had a bad toothache for a while now and finally got to see a dentist. They informed me there's mild tooth decay that's close to the nerve and it may result in it needing to be removed. They'll inspect it next week and hopefully it'll just need a filling.
But what if it does need taken out? Besides the fear of having a tooth taken out it'll knock my confidence so much because I'll have this gap I'll be constantly cautious about.
It's the back mind so it may be it to visible but dentures and implants are so expensive as far as I've read and can't afford them. On top of that i feel so humiliated that I've not been able to look after myself properly and now have tooth decay. I brush, mouth wash and occasionally floss but my diet could be better.
Even my parents had a go when I told them what's happening and saying I should've laid off the dizzy drinks.
I'm frustrated at myself, I feel humiliated and feel my confidence will be knocked back to zero if this goes ahead.
Am I overreacting?

There are tooth replacements u can get that look exactly like real teeth. I’m not sure if they’re covered by insurance; but you can ask your doctor. Not all hope is lost. :)
ReplyYou are over reacting. Just get an implant if they remove it
ReplyI feel what youre feeling. a bunch of mine have cavities for lack of taking care of them being depressed now it just feels like game over because im not rich I can't afford implants.
Only one tooth they could possibly full it or put a crown on it but that's not so cheap either. I've heard of the porcelain veneers idk how much those cost that look like real teeth.
