I didn't have dental insurance until earlier this year and now I am finally able to go to the dentist after 20 years of neglect. Found out I have periodontal disease and my teeth will rot out if I don't get them cleaned every 3-6 months. Also had 3 fillings, 2 deep gum cleanings, and need to get a root canal as well as my wisdom teeth removed, a broken tooth that has been causing a 6 year long abscess, braces, and probably gum grafts to replace the receding gums. I've had to chew on one side for years because of broken/bad teeth. My teeth are so bad I've never smiled in front of anyone since I was a child.
Wild that this shit is considered a luxury.
