Q. Hello Dr. Julian, I am 43 yrs old have a wife with perfect teeh, and 2 kids boy 12 wearing braces and a 14 yr teenage girl who doesn’t need braces Yet? As for me well i think i’ve reached rock bottom. I have 4 wisdom teeth that probably need to come out, discolored teeth my front toohhave colored patches, my bottom left tooth is behind and under my tongue very noticeable, and not tomention my left frot tooth is graying and just recently is moving. Since i was a little kid i’have had bad teeth. i was to get braces when i was young but parents could not afford. Many times going to the dentist during regular cavity fixes the novacane did not work i felt pain and disconfort during drilling and i kept getting the its all in your head, i’m almost done, and many other painful experiences. as of 18 we have to pay for dental and with the experiences i’va had i stayed away from dentists. I brush every day though i could have done better. I know it sounds stupid and imature, but i almost don’t want to hear the bad news. I defentaley don’t have the money cause we still have another 17 months for my son’s braces. I know we are long distance, and i know you canot see my teeth, is there any hope for a good looking man in shape bur ad teeth. PS since the horror experiences i don’t deal with pain very well! i would have to be put asleep fo all the work. And i know it can’t be done in one visit. I guess i’m looking for a magical answer. My wish is to smile without out holding back. without any concern.
