Dental care, may have a cavity but worried about the cost.
Okay so I am fourteen and I have too younger brothers. My parents work very hard for everything and with the economy the way it is they are always worried about money. I think that I may have a cavity starting up and I really do not want to have to tell my parents and put more stress on them over the cost of fixing it.
I notice this small brown spot on my tooth hat no matter how hard I brush or for how long it will not come off. I really does not hurt but what if it is a cavity? However if it is not a cavity just going to the dentist will cost money and then it would be for nothing.

Although you may mean well it is not your place to make decisions on whether or not your parents can afford to take you to the dental.
I you do have a cavity and you do nothing it will only become a larger issue costing even more money to be fixed. At that point you would not be doing any favors for your parents.

Sound like tooth decay to me. I would tell your parents and see what they are willing to do. At least that way if it get any worse they will not be up set with you for not letting the know.
