Never been to the dentist

May 30, 2015 by writeradmin

I grew up in a poor family.  I married into a poor family. As a result, I’ve never been to the dentist. I’ve been thinking about going lately, but to be perfectly blunt I’m afraid of what they’re going to say. I’m sure I’ll need tons of work that I won’t be able to afford, so I wonder if there is even a point.

Dania,

I understand how frightening it can be when you feel helpless, especially when it is related to your health.  while it is possible you’ll need a lot of work, it’s also possible you won’t.  Then you can just continue with cleanings and check ups.

Don’t despair if you did need a lot of work. There are affordable ways to get dental work done.  There are phased treatment options, payment plans. The important thing is to speak to your dentist ahead of time.  Make sure he understands your situations. Most  dentists care enough to work with you to make sure you can get the dental care you need.

Braces and fainting spells

May 15, 2015 by writeradmin

I have very low blood pressure. As a result I get fainting spells. My mother has never let me get braces as a result.  She’s worried I’ll cut my mouth on the metal.  Is there anything you can say to make her worry less and let me get braces? All my other friends have straight teeth or are getting them straightened. I’m worried I’m going to end up as the ugly friend.

Dena,

Parents worry. Sometimes their worries are well founded and sometimes they’re not. But, at least you can know that they love you. Otherwise they’d just let you do what you want.

In this case we can put your mother’s mind at ease. There are more than one type of orthodontic. If she’s worried about tissue damage from a fall, you could wear Invisalign aligners.  Even if you fell directly onto your mouth, these will not cut you. There are no metals, wires, or brackets.
