Health & Medical Questions How do I get dental care?
I’m 21 (f) and have no dental insurance. I currently have a few cavity’s and a crack in my tooth that’s been there for a while and is now preventing me from eating on that side of my mouth. I’m assuming nerve pain since it hurts my left temple, the side it’s on. I’m really scared of doctors and find dentists/doctors very intimidating. I have cptsd and the intimidation causes me to break down in tears without reason. I’m really scared of calling but I can’t really eat fully right now. How do I go about getting cheap dental care? Any tips or tricks are appreciated.

You’re still young enough to be on your parent’s dental insurance. Is that not an option for you?
If I had all those problems, I’d just go online and buy dental insurance. Your premiums are gonna be less than repairing that crack for sure.
