Case Description
I am extremely ashamed of my teeth. So much so that I avoid the dentist, because I am so embarassed about the condition of my mouth. I began working on my mouth last winter and had several extractions due to impacted, broken and extra teeth. I lost my job and therefore had no insurance for the past 9months. I am now a member of Aetna ( 2 weeks) and would love to find an understanding non-judgemental dentist. I hated the service my previous dentist provided 9 months ago. Anyhow-I really am desperate to begin my long journey of fixing my teeth. Please help me before I lose motivation. Thank you

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Congratulations, you''''ve taken the first step towards getting yourself healthy. If finances are a problem perhaps a university setting might be the best. NYU or Columbia are choices. Usually the students and faculty are non-judgemental, and sympathetic Good Luck

BTW, I love your email address, Artistically Ugly, That''''''''s Great!You have absolutely no reason to feel ashamed. The situation that you find yourself in is, unfortunately all to common. In fact, many individuals, because of circumstances out of their control, find themselves in a similar bind. Nevertheless, our job as dentists is not only to fix the teeth, but to support, guide, educate and uplift. Not to pre-judge or inspire guilt. Good luck to you on your journey. Hang in there.
