I am 19 and living with my parents. This "medical treatment" I speak of is mostly referring to my oral health. Don't get me wrong, I brush twice a day, but apparently bad teeth run in the family. I've already had several cavities, a root canal, and a massive abscess that led to a tooth extraction. What sucks is I have an awful gag reflex and am dentalphobic, so I always need to be put to sleep for dental work. Oh and we don't have insurance. Wheeee.
So, my past dental work was expensive enough. But now, I definitely feel a new cavity. Furthermore, it's past time to get my wisdom teeth out (my dentist recommended we get them out BY this past summer). My parents refuse to pay for either. They say if I want my mouth fixed, I gotta pay for it. But I am trying to save up for college while also paying bills of my own (my horse, student loans). This upsets me a lot... I understand that money is tight right now, but I would really rather get these things taken care of before they get worse.
