Don’t be , just think if you don’t get them now you will probably regret it in 5 or 10 years
That may help ease your mind and it’s true.
Delaying taking care if your body will only make the pain worse when you have. I choice in the future.
That had been my experience

If people start bullying me for having them I’m going to make them take them off or if they start to bad @Driver2

@Vgore0304 ignore them when it’s your body and you deserve to take care of it
Don’t be afraid

@Driver2 is there any tricks I can do to prevent soreness I heard taking ibuprofen before the visit prevents pain

@Vgore0304 ask the dr , they may give you antibiotics
But ask them
Dental work is no fun but it’s usually worth it
Let us know how you do
