Can I become a dentist w bad teeth?

Weird question, I know. I was never educated about teeth health as a child growing up in poverty. I only learned more as a high schooler and then I began really looking after them - but now it is too late.
I’ve had braces, so they’re not crooked. However, my front tooth is chipped and they’re not white. I also have three fillings :frown:
I can’t afford to get them fixed
I would love to become a dentist, but wouldn’t it be embarrassing to be a dentist with bad teeth myself? It would look hypocritical.
Wouldn’t dentistry interviewers laugh at me?

Lol of course you can. Many dentists who I’ve seen have had awful teeth and breath
