Should i be anti-social because of my teeth?

I have had issues with my teeth every since I was a teen. They progressively gotten worse over the years. For starters my front teeth are not as bad slightly off white but gaps in-between. I have 4 teeth that have been pulled and the rest if my back teeth are rotting. I really want to get them fixed but it's so expensive. I need braces and implants.

    My bottom teeth are extremely crooked but no one seems to notice but me. I actually stupidly pointed it out once to someone I've been friends with for years. I said I need to get braces and they didn't understand why until I showed them and they were like wow, I didn't even notice that! They're bad, my bottom teeth are severely effed up but I guess my tops are normal so it looks not so bad.

    Sometimes even if your teeth are as you say, people don't notice. I think most of the problems with yours are in the back so it's not visible to anyone and unless you open your mouth incredibly wide, who sees the back of your mouth? Most people just see your front teeth. The gap issue shouldn't be a big deal unless they're also rotting as well but if they're only slightly off white, that doesn't sound like a problem. I personally don't care about spacing in terms of teeth, I just care about the color of them. Besides, if someone likes you for you, they won't even see your mouth, they'll just see you for you, period.

    Look up PinkStylist on youtube. Not to put him on the spotlight but his teeth aren't great by any means but he has a boyfriend and they seem happy together. My gay friend actually has a crush on PinkStylist so that should tell you that teeth aren't everything.

    Nah, don't be antisocial. I have teeth issues that prevent me from talking normally, but I still think it's better to be normal to other people.

    Some days, I prefer to talk through chats online though :) There's more than one way to be social :)

    Can you get dental insurance?

    My bf had the same issue with his back teeth and he got that shit pulled and eats just fine. Can't tell he's missing any unless he lets you check.

    It can't be as bad as you say they are if you have yet to pull them. Trust me, I've dropped money I didn't have to get teeth pulled because I could not function through the pain.

    My teeth are not great but I have no trouble with anyone with it.

    I wouldn't worry to much about the gap between the two front teeth. I am truly sorry to hear about the cavities you're struggling with. I used to have nightmares about losing my teeth, but technically I think those dream are more about anxiety than tooth decay.

    One thing that has really helped me is to floss regularly.

    I sincerely hope you can get the dental care you need and I mean that with every fibre of my being!

      I only ever had ONE dream where my teeth fell like icicles melting. Pure desperation ensued. And flossing daily.

    My sisters 2 front teeth are gapped. She's married to a guy who is really good looking. I think it's because she has a good personality and she is a good looking girl.
