take better care of my teeth

I’m still too scared to do something about this. On the plus side: I’ve added a mouthwash to my teeth routine. Next stop: flossing… :(

Okay, this is a big one. I’m finally starting to deal with it, talking about it, writing it down. I haven’t seen a dentist in about 10 years, mostly due to fear, but recently also due to shame and finances. My teeth look okay from afar, they’re not crooked or anything. But when you look closer, for example from talking or close photograph distance, you can see brown edges and black spots and lots of horrible stuff. I’ve even had people say that I had something stuck between my teeth when I really hadn’t… It’s quite awful, I hardly ever dare to smile in pictures.

Subgoals:
- ask around for a good dentist
- make appointment with dentist
- explain situation and ask for the financial stuff
- talk to parents about financial stuff (ouch)
