You need to go to the dentist and take care of your teeth before they get worse. You can get things done on a priority basis.
Ask your dentist which of the problems need to be taken care of first. Then work out a plan with him/her for treatment.
Since you say you do not have any Insurance or benefits to help you, I can offer you an affordable dental plan. Together with the dental, you will get three additional benefits, at no extra cost to you.
Go to this web site and get details of the savings that we offer you. Then go to 'Provider Search' and check who the dentists are in our area, by typing in the zip code.
If you are happy with what you see, you can sign up on line.
The company offers a satisfaction guarantee.
You do not need to give any information about yourself or pay to get all the information.

My husband had a cavity spanning between his two front teeth. He hated to smile. It showed every time he opened his mouth. His dentist just drilled out the rotted part, and filled it in with a kind of caplike filling that he matched to the same color as his own teeth. You can't even tell he ever had a cavity there. So, it is possible and it can be fixed, very well in fact. But you will pay an arm and a leg for it if you don't have good dental insurance. He has insurance and still had to play almost $600.

Don't be ashamed. Remember, they are doctors and studied teeth for a decade and have seen it all. Cavities are what most ppl have had before so nothing to be ashamed of. The good thing is that you're taking care of them and that's a really good thing. Everyone is scared of the dentist. I didn't go for 5 years and it wasn't as worse as I thought it would be. Then I told myself,"what's the worse that can happen?" I thought of the most absurd things. Like being wheeled off to the ER because my teeth was inoperable to them. Totally not the case. Now I go every 6 mths and guess what? I'm still terrified before I go, lol. Buck yourself up. Tell yourself to,"get it over with!" Book the appt asap and look at the calendar. In 2 months, so much stuff will go on with your life and the dental appt was just something that you had to do and now you're done. On the day of the appt, make a plan to do something AFTER the dental appt. That way, the day isn't all about the dentist. I planned to have a movie fest after and it made me look forward to that all day. Once you're there, tell them you're nervous. I did. I told anyone who asked how I was. They were very caring and explained everything. And remember, if you don't like the way you treat you, you have the power to walk out. When you're there, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Bring a mp3 player if it helps. Have a ring or bracelet on to play with. Bring a small ball to squeeze if it helps. =)
You can ask if they take payments. Or look for credit cards specially made for dental work. Or look for dental colleges in your area. I've used them and wonderful work at low prices. I've been there and trust me, waiting for it is much worse than when you're there. Make the appt and take the soonest they have. That way, your mind has less time to worry. Remember to remind yourself to,"Get it over with." =) It's going to be the bes thing you ever did for yourself. Good luck!

u have to go to ur dentist as soon as possible that is your only option if you dont it will just get worse. U might just need to have you teeth cleaned , it may not be a cavity. But if it is a cavity once you get it filled noone will be able to see it anymore.

You should go to the dentist, its okay the dentist won't be mean, go to one that everyone likes and says is really nice, besides your paying them right, because with cavities your teeth could end up dying, and you could develop other health problems

How could you be ashamed to go to a dentist when you have a problem with teeth??? That's like being ashamed to go to the bathroom when you have to pee!!! Take care of that, it sounds nasty...the only thing you're likely to kiss is the sidewalk!

HELLO,
THERE ARE CERTAIN GENETIC CONDITIONS WHERE THE ENAMEL OF PERMANENT TEETH IS MALFORMED. THIS IS KNOWN AS AMELOGENESIS IMPERFECTA. SEEKING HELP FROM A DENTAL SCHOOL IS A GOOD SOLUTION BECAUSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS IN A CURRENT DAY PATIENT IS USEFUL FOR STUDENTS, AND THE COST IS MUCH MORE REASONABLE THAN IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.
