I do have insurance, as we're legally required.
Haven't been to a dentist for years even tho i need it, the money isn't there. Insurance only covers it for a small amount if you pay a premium, which i'm not doing obviously.
I went to my childhood dentist after being unemployed and homeless, dad was convinced the government would get me a house and when i lived with him they told me "no, that's the old system". He didn't believe me so he kicked me out because he was so sure of himself.
When i got to the dentist after a couple of years he started pointing out what premium things i needed and how i could afford them after saving the money from the years i didn't go. I tried to explain to him like an adult that i had lost my savings and was pushed into homelessness and unemployment.
He then decided to get his ego bruised and started calling me names.
I got pretty sick of his childish behaviour and decided to never come back.
I tried a differenr dentist when i was actually ready and could see myself build up the funds again, but i ended up having to move for a job and life has only gotten more expensive while my wage stayed stagnant.
Right now i'm making more, finally but it's at a job i'm not sure i can physically handle. It's been 4 weeks now and it's 4 weeks of backpain and painkillers to keep going.
