Bad problems and HORRIBLE teeth?
Please help me I am a 19 Y.O female from Queensland Australia, I drink a lot of coke and smoke (and I wont stop either of them) and having a couple of traumatizing incidents with dentists as a child I am PETRIFIED of them I mean I have full blown panic attacks but the thing is I have no insurance, no car and no money, I mean I have literally $4 to my name and my family is in no position to help out either, I am currently job seeking so no cash there. The problem is that I have appalling teeth. Having only just 2 years ago started brushing and using Listerine my teeth are yellow and the majority of my top teeth are chipped right near the gum, I have this one tooth that I think of as my vampire tooth as it is higher then the rest and pointed, but the top half of it has broken off and it is now rotted. I don’t know what to do, I desperately want normal teeth but am unsure how to go about finding a dentist who can help me with all my requirements.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP
Thanks

You have taken the first step towards improving your health and seem willing to seek help treating your dental disease (yes, this is a disease). Since you are unable to pay for dental treatment, I suggest you seek out a local dental school for help at limited, or maybe, no cost. I hope you are not in any pain. Resolving these issues may also help you in your employment seeking ventures. You mentioned the reasons for this problem in your post. If you recognize them, you can also stop the destuction to your mouth, and the rest of your body. It just so happens that you can outwardly see the ill-effects from poor oral hygiene, smoking and drinking sugary soda. I wonder what is happening to the parts of your body you can't see.
P.S. be blunt about your anxiety so that whoever treats you can be prepared resulting in a much better experience for you.
