I joined a club at school that my dad told me not to. \u00a0Something happened while I was there and I ended up getting a front tooth knocked out. \u00a0When I went home and explained to my dad what happened, he said that he doesn’t have money for the dentist. I disobeyed so the tooth is my problem. \u00a0I’m only twelve and don’t have a way of making enough money for the dentist. \u00a0I have about $7 I made in babysitting, but that is it. \u00a0What do I do? I don’t want to live my life with one of my front teeth missing. I’m so ugly. It’s too embarassing.<\/p>\n

Bella,<\/p>\n

I’m very sorry for what you’re going through. \u00a0I want you to know that even though you feel ugly because one of your teeth is missing, that doesn’t mean\u00a0you<\/em> are ugly.<\/p>\n

Let’s try to get you some help. \u00a0Because you’re a minor, one of your parents will need to consent to treatment. \u00a0There’s good news too. \u00a0Dentists become dentists because they like helping people. \u00a0I bet if you called around and explained your sitution, there will be at least one willing to work with you to get treatment.<\/p>\n

I’d start by doing a Google search for affordable dentist<\/a>. Then talk with them until you find one you’re comfortable with.<\/p>\n

There are levels of treatment. Maybe at first, you can get a temporary treatment like a removable partial denture until you can afford one the better (but priceier) treatments.<\/p>\n
