I know someone who knows exactly what you are going through. Her parents had dental insurance but was too cheap (and neglective) to take her. So you are not alone. She now is afraid to even go out in public because of it. There should be a dental school or a low income clinic you can go to. It's usually based on your income. Most bigger cities have them though you may have to travel an hour or so to get them. GL

  luckily mine aren't bad enough that they hold me back to the same extent hers do. I brush my teeth and all that now to keep them from getting any worse. But dear god I'm almost afraid to kiss my boyfriend because I don't want him to think I have bad hygene from cavities I've had since middle school. >_<;

If there is a dental school close to you, go to the clinic there to have the work done. It's usually cheaper.

Have you ever considered going abroad for dental work? There are some very professional dentists with a lot of experience accessible for far less what you would pay in the US.
