Question: I am eighteen, and my teeth are in terrible shape. I always had bad teeth. Even my baby teeth were cavity-ridden. Now, with my adult teeth, I have already had seven cavities. My mom was paying for my dental work out of her pocket since we never had any dental insurance, but she told me today that she would no longer be paying my dental bills and that I better start taking care of my teeth. The thing is, I brush three times a day most days. It is not like I do not try to take care of my teeth. They are just weak or something. My teeth are now okay since I saw the dentist three months ago. But what if I keep getting cavities like I have in the past? How am I going to pay my dental bills?
