Journalist Ciara Bastow shares her painful and costly dental journey, which cost her $12,420 due to avoiding regular dental visits. She initially ignored dental visits in high school since she had no pain or need for braces, and continued this behavior throughout university and early adulthood. When she experienced severe tooth pain during a trip to England, she had a $5,000 worth of dental work advised, but delayed it, leading to further dental issues. Over two years, she underwent multiple root canal operations, fillings, and emergency treatments. The author now regrets not prioritizing dental health and encourages readers to get regular dental checkups to prevent costly and painful dental issues.
