Dental care - LeontineD - 08-15-2023
Hello,I’m Leontine
I grew up in a very poor,problematic household. Seems like genetically we all have problems with our teeth. I’m only 22 and I’ve already lost a tooth and overall they are not very aesthetically appealing to the eye. for a young person like me it really hurts my self esteem and i really don’t wanna go outside too much to communicate with people and make friends cause I’m ashamed to smile but how can I live if I’m afraid to smile?
Dentistry is very expensive and I have no money for that, I would love to get a new smile that would allow me to have a better quality life…
I hope there’s someone who can fund me, beyond grateful to everyone reading, have a blessed day you all. Leo

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, Leo. A lot of people underestimate how much dental issues can affect confidence, especially when you’re still so young. You’re definitely not alone, and you’re stronger than you think for opening up about it.
One thing that helped me when I was in a similar situation was starting with small, low-cost steps instead of thinking everything had to be fixed at once. Many community clinics and local dentists around NSW offer payment plans, student discounts, or basic assessments at reduced prices. It might be worth checking what’s available near you.
If you’re anywhere near Burwood, I’ve seen people have good experiences with Burwood Diamond Dental, especially because they’re known for giving honest guidance on what absolutely needs attention now and what can wait until you’re in a better financial position. Sometimes just having a chat with a dentist who understands your situation can take a lot of the fear away and give you a clearer direction.
Please don’t let this stop you from living your life or forming connections. A lot of us are carrying things we’re insecure about, even if it doesn’t show on the outside. Getting help is possible, even on a tight budget, and you deserve to feel good about yourself.
