I'm looking for help in NYC. I haven't seen a dentist in about 8 years due to bad experiences on two separate occasions at the dentist. There was lasting trauma and it has kept me away. My teeth has suffered. I'm 23 and I'm starting college and september and I can't smile; not really. It hurts and I want to fix it but I don't know where to go. I'm extremely self-conscious about it. I just want to smile again. I want to be able to laugh and open my mouth. I live in Brooklyn and I live in a studio apt. with my family. I can't affort much, but I want to start some sort of process.
Thank you. -Lemmy.
