I'm 22 and I just now have dental insurance so I will be going soon. Although, I am embarassed (havent seen a dentist since I was 12) plus I have several cavities. The thing is the cavities are at the root of the teeth (the part closest to my gums).. is that worse? How are these taken care of?

I have been engaging the services of orthodontists for the last 9 to 10 years (ever since I was 10) to straighten my teeth. I've switched orthodontists thrice as some of them were just interested in ripping me off rather than treating my dental problems.
I really want to straighten my teeth and get it done and over with asap. However, I have a jaw problem that sort of hinders the process of straightening my teeth.
(I'm currently wearing Hawley retainers, the one made of pink plastic.)
I just visited my orthodontist today and he told me that my teeth are unstable due to the jaw problem.He presented me with 3 options for my teeth:
1. Continue wearing the Hawley retainers for the rest of my life
2. Wear braces for 6 months to straighten my teeth followed by permanent(/fixed) retainers (the one consisting of wire stuck at the back of your teeth) for the rest of my life
3. Surgery (for both my upper and lower jaw)(However, my case is not THAT severe, just mild-moderate acc to the doc)

I'm only 21, have had bad teeth all my life. I'm getting all of them pulled soon and getting dentures. It's really embarassing for me, I feel like I'm unattractive now, and I'm afraid to open my mouth at all! When I get my teeth all pulled and while they're healing, will I have a hard time talking and eating? And when I get my dentures, they have to be taken out every night right? I'm just afraid I won't like the feeling of not having any teeth! Like I said, I'm still young, and I feel so embarassed. How can I make myself feel better about this? Thanks in advance.

The cut is on the inside of my lower lip. I was eating pizza and didn't feel the pain as I bit into the pizza. Now it really hurts and I wonder how it will heal.

The dentist even laughed when he did it.Oh, he said .It looks like you"ll be making an appmt. I'm ready to have all (3 or 4) so called silver fillngs removed but fear the pain,extra loss of my real teeth, and post discomfort. I have plans to travel to another counry to visit a friend in 4 weeks and want to have the work done in the UK. The cost is afordable. What Questions should I ask the DR.? My friend has used this dentist . I feel that the Dr. that crack my filling should fix it.My ?? is ,did he just find something that was going to happen soon? Or would my tooth lasted another yr. or 2. Can anyone help with questions and frustations? I don't want to bore anyone with a long story.

My husband has a really bad toothache and needs his tooth pulled ASAP!! Why aren't dentists like doctors and on call at the emergency room? U.K. Hospital in Kentucky doesn't even have one. It looks like there would be somewhere you could go.
