Zena *Big Hugs* I'm glad that you posted here! Please don't feel
embarassed to have the dentist look at your mouth. I'm sure that
they've seen worse or just as 'bad.' It's never too late to get on
a regimen that's going to keep your teeth as healthy as can be. I
get nervous when going to the dentist. I hate the sound of the
drill and of course not many like novacaine/lidocaine, but in
actuality, the needle to numb us only hurts for a second and we
survive :)

Please do find a dentist in your area, possibly thru a free referral
service and start getting the proper dental care and who can advise
you on things that should/could be done to help your smile.
Sometimes dental schools will be more affordable and perhaps you can
look into that. That's great that you're finally really considering
helping yourself to look and feel your best! Bless you and please
take good care, Aimee
