Need Dentures Bad

I am a 28 year old female who needs dentures very bad! I've been looking for help and feel hopeless.

I'm a mother of 3 children ages 4 and under and the pregnancies killed my teeth. I have 17 teeth left but all but 3 are either abcessed or half gone.

I just graduated from college for Phlebotomy but feel like my bad teeth are keeping me from being able to get a job. If someone could help me get them all pulled and put a full set of dentures in I feel like I could move on with my life and career.

Missing Teeth

I'm a single mom that has never been able to afford proper dental care. I have several molars broken off just below the gum and have an dental abscess currently on my right back molar.

I am looking to be considered in a study. I have not been able to eat meals normally for the past several years, since I do not have any teeth to chew with. All in all, I literally have only 17 teeth in my mouth. I hope that I qualify and believe I would make a good patient.

Diabetic Missing Teeth

53 year old male with diabetes missing almost all of my teeth including upper front and top and bottom back teeth. Cannot afford dental insurance am disabled. I am a singer and is ashamed to sing because of missing teeth. Please help! I Am desperate to have a beautiful smile again. Also have been told that having diabetes and an unhealthy mouth is not good for my health.

Dental Disease Creating Bone Loss

I am a 31 year old diabetic. In the past 6 months my teeth have just been falling out. I went to Aspen Dental for treatment and the doctor said that I have a disease that is eating the bone in my mouth away. While I was approved for $1000 to get the work done, the total cost is $3,882 I am looking for free or low cost assistance. Perhaps someone can remove all of my teeth (22) and provide me with dentures with the $1,000.

I am scared after visiting the doctor because he said that there is a lot of infection. I don't have insurance and I don't want to die due to this situation.

If you can help or knows someone who can, please inform me. I will forever be grateful.

Looking for Free Dental Work

I have what you call meth mouth.

I'm a recovering addict and my teeth are just thrashed. I am missing a front bottom tooth and only have one molar on my upper right side and on my left side. My daughter is getting married soon and I have been trying to find free dental work. I don't remember the last time I smiled.

I am 43 years old and have 4 kids and one grandchild. I've put my teeth on hold for the longest time. I did not realize just how much drugs could damage your teeth. I show young kids what happens to your teeth if you use drugs. I would like to be able to chew with back teeth instead of my front teeth (which hurts my gums). If someone could help me get dentures, I would forever be grateful.

Thank you.

Dental Abscess and Missing Back Teeth

I am on SSI (disability) and cannot afford dental insurance. I did have Medi-cal but recently learned that I no longer have dental coverage. I basically have no teeth in the back of my mouth to chew with - the remaining 1 or 2 are infected and breaking off. I also have dental abcesses which are painful.

Dental Implants for Healthy 17 year old girl

I am a mother of a 17 year old daughter. My daughter was born with 4 missing adult teeth, front, lower and upper 2 teeth have shortened roots. She has lost 3 primary teeth of the 4 missing teeth. Her front teeth are in a loosened condition. She also has severe clicking jaw, nasal voice and a high palette.

We have dental and health insurance and neither will help to cover the cost. We financially are stable but have no room for the costs of my beautiful daughters implants. I wonder if you have any ideas or direction we can pursue? We live in Northwest Ohio in a small farming community we would happily travel to where ever we need to we are desperate!! Any help or direction would be gratefully appreciated.

In Excessive Pain

I lost half of a filling in my a molar and the pain is unbearable. I can't eat really anything, let alone on the left side of my mouth. I just simply cannot take this anymore. I don't have any benefits, and was turned away at another clinic.

So if someone can help me or refer me to someone that can. I would be eternally indebted to you. Thank You.

I Hate to Smile

I am 25 years old and as long as I can remember, my teeth have been brown. I also have dental cavities and broken teeth. My self esteem is very low and I hate to smile.

I am a mother of 4 and my babies are asking "mom why are your teeth dirty?" I don't know what to tell them. My 6 year old son was in summer school this summer when kids started to make fun of me. This time it wasn't to me - it was to my son. I really don't want him to grow up with this type of hurt, but I don't know what to do. I am struggling to hold on right now and the last thing I have money for is dental work. Is there anyone who can help me?

Missing Teeth - Need Implants

I am a 49 year old lady looking to be chosen for dental implants. My husband presently have cancer and with all of the bills coming in I can't afford a dentist not even for a filling. I have a lot of teeth missing and I am ashamed to go around people. I also have a daughter in college it's just been so hard. I don't want to sound like I'm whining but I need help so bad. So it would be wonderful if I were selected for implants thank you. Thank you also for taking out the time to read my email.

Dental Cavities

I have about 7 cavities to be filled. I also have a broken tooth which needs to be repaired. Also a teeth cleaning would help.

Implant Studies

I am 28 years old and missing a front tooth due to an incident that occurred over 20 years ago. I was at a playground on the teeter totter when a 275 lb. man maliciously hit the bottom of the teeter totter on the ground so hard, causing me to fly up into the air and land my mouth on the bars of the teeter totter. My mother's response was to leave me in the truck for over an hour - never seeking medical or dental care.

I would like to be considered for a dental implant study. I also have two, possibly three hollowed out teeth that are extremely painful.

Partial Dentures

I am 38 years old and for about the past ten years my teeth have been cracking from decay. I brush my teeth all the time. I think it's genetic because my mother had dentures by the age of 30. I've had all of my back teeth pulled on one side and am scheduled to have the other side done next week. I'm worried that I won't be able to eat. I need to get partial dentures, but my insurance is tapped for the year.

So I don't know if I should wait on getting these pulled. It's so expensive and I don't have money to pay myself. Any suggestions?

Crowns, Root Canals, and Dental Cavities

I have no dental insurance and am not working at the present time. I went and paid a dental clinic $50 to tell me my teeth needed a lot of work done. I need crowns, root canals, build-ups, and lots of cavities filled. I haven't been to a dentist in years because I could not afford the cost. If I don't get this work done, I will lose a lot of teeth. I need some financial assistance. I received a treatment plan but it ends up costing thousands of dollars.

I'm looking for some help, (not free help), just help to where I can make small payments or do it for learning students.

Extractions and Dentures Needed

I am 27 years old and have major dental problems.

Over the past few years the enamel of my teeth has been destroyed. I cannot afford the 23,000 dollars quoted by the dentist to fix this problem. I am looking for a little or no cost dental school or office that would do surgical extractions and dentures. I can't even sleep or hardly eat anymore because of the pain.

Dental Work Needed

I am a woman who needs dental work. I am 34 years old, unable to get dental insurance for many years, and now I am loosing my top teeth due to the fact that my top jaw is to small for my teeth. I have a hard time going out in public or even around my family.

I just recently finished school to be an EMT in Wtby. Ct. and I don't think I can go out in the public like this! My son also had a similar problem, but fortunately, is getting his teeth fixed (Thank God - I could never let him go through what I am going through).

Can someone possibly point me in the right direction to get help? I would appreciate it more than you would ever know.

Dentures Needed

I have the following dental problems that need to be address. I have currently been diagnosed with having gum disease. I have a mouth full of broken teeth and experience constant tooth pain. I also have a periodontal problem (bad breath).

I try not to smile for fear of exposing the many rotten teeth that are in my mouth. A lot of my problems are the result of using too much flouride toothpaste as a child into my teen years. We now know that too much use can cause potential problems well into adulthood.

I'm looking for free or low cost, affordable dental work as a research patient, a dental license exam patient or any other type of patient where dental work needs to be performed.

Tooth Bonding for Son

My 15 year old son had a baseball hit him in the mouth about 2 1/2 years ago and it was immediately bonded right after the injury as half of the front left tooth was missing. The tooth nerve is still alive but the bonding is wearing off and the tooth is shifting sideways. We would like to make it straight again as he had nice front teeth before this accident, however we need a low-cost way of making his front tooth look better with very little pain to him.

Implants and Veneers

I need implants in back teeth and veneers in front. All of my back molars are full of fillings. There is very little of the tooth itself. I now broke a filling and there isn't much tooth to fill anymore. In addition, all of my fillings are very old and mercury fillings. These fillings were also put on the teeth you can see - example front tooth and side teeth where you smile.

I have always wanted healthy teeth and beautiful teeth. Because of my teeth I never smile and people think I am always angry. I would smile ALOT if my teeth were nicer and didn't hurt so much. Thank you.

Tooth Replacements

A 42 year old female who has missing teeth, one front missing tooth, one on each side with missing and cracked tooth. In 2003, I was injured on the job from being kicked in the mouth by a combative Alzheimer's patient. This injury required a lower right tooth implant which caused me pain and lots of discomfort, so it was removed.

I have avoided going to a dentist throughout the years and I also had a very bad drug problem from 1993-2000 and that has also caused dental problems. Now that my teeth are cracking and missing and I can't afford dental treatment. I am able to pay small amounts of the dental fee, but no one is willing to take that chance to accept this method. It is my only way to get teeth repaired.

Large Gap Between Teeth

I'm a 42 year old who has always had problems with my teeth. I did have braces when I was younger and had a beautiful smile for about 10 years. One of my top teeth has moved considerably and has caused a huge gap between my top teeth. I'm not sure if it is the underbite that I have that caused this.

I visited a dentist about 2 years ago and just for the initial treatments was going to cost an estimated $3500.00 I have always loved to smile and I'm always laughing but I cover my mouth because I'm embarrassed of my teeth. Thank you for allowing me to share my dilemma.

Upper Denture Needed

i have what has been described to me as chalk teeth. It runs in my family, on my mothers side. I have a partial denture, but soon won't have any teeth for it to fasten to.

Two of the front teeth have already broken off of the partial (which has broken itself several times, for which I have had to super glue it and prayed for it to last as long as it possibly could).

I want to find a job, but with my teeth in this shape, it's virtually impossible. The pain, and the stress over not having the money to take care of this problem is excruciating. I stay depressed for fear they will become irrepairable and I will to be too ugly to be seen out in public.

As bad as my teeth already are, I always cover my mouth as much as I can, never eating in front of anyone.

Missing Several Upper Teeth

I am currently unemployed and my teeth look awful. I am missing at least 2 teeth on the top of my mouth, (1 is only a half of tooth and is very painful). I keep getting infection pockets above this tooth.

It is so hard going to a job interview and knowing that you are being judged on how bad your smile is. My quality of life would be 100% better if I could smile, as it would give me the confidence that I so greatly need.

In Need Of Dentures

I am in the same boat as many people, I need full dentures and only receive SSI. I have Medicaid, but, they do not pay for any dentures. I have
checked out many, and the lowest in my area is approx. $900.00 each.

They have a place that is 3-4 hours away, but because of a medical condition, I do not drive. If it was just 1-2 visits, I could probably do that but, I've heard you have to go 5-6 times for fitting etc.. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thank you.

Care and Replacement of Implant

My teeth are inherited soft, and have been decaying for a long time. This is due to my lack of dental care because of no insurance and financial hardship. I am a 42 year old male and my teeth are a complete disaster. I have abscesses and take ibuprohen regularly just to be able to halfway function.

Right now I do not have a regular job and living with my parents to hopefully at some point soon get my life back on track. I am limited to traveling to and from work because my truck needs repairs that I can't afford.

I am fearful for my overall health because of the lack of dental care. I was informed that it is possible to get free dental work, especially in a situation such as mine. Thank you.

Broken Tooth - Need Crown

I have not had dental insurance in 9 years. I have tried to keep up on my dental care the best I could until my husband had a stroke in 2007. I tried to keep working, but have not been able to because of his health. He continues to have mini strokes and paralyzing migraines and lately he has seizures that cause him to not know himself or me when he comes to.

Since the original stroke I have not been able to see a dentist except to have teeth pulled. I DO NOT want to loose another tooth. I lost a filling in April and saw a dentist who would not fill it because it needed a crown that I could not afford, nor could I make a payment monthly to cover it. Now a few days ago the tooth broke off on the side. I don't have to loose another tooth. I have other dental work that needs done, but this is a priority before it states hurting more. Thank you.

Major Dental Work Needed

I believe I don't feel good physically, mentally or emotionally due to the fact I need major dental work and do not have the huge amount to fix my teeth...I can probably afford $50.00 in monthly payments for the rest of my life. I know my teeth are worth saving.

I have had 4 brackets on my teeth for since August of 1988. My teeth have shifted, are very short, thin & I have gaps & spaces. I am very embarrassed to smile or laugh and when I do, I cover my mouth.

I need a periodontist, prosthodontist, endodontist & major cleaning work from the foundation to make my mouth healthy. My mouth is is really bad shape. It is not a cosmetic thing. I am petrified from the past work, pain, anxiety & fear. When I had work done, I thought it would be great. Now I feel my mouth (TMJ) is ruined. I would love to have a healthy & full smile without people looking to at my teeth.

Would you please help me? I would find a way to go anywhere as long as they would/could do a professional job & help me. I would be eternally greatful & know I would feel better. If you cannot help me would you suggest some help & where I can go. I can't afford dental insurance thanks to the high cost of medical insurance we pay monthly. Thank You again.

Losing Enamel On Teeth Since Birth

When my niece was very young, we were told that she was losing the enamel on her teeth. This happened with both the baby and permanent teeth. Dentists could not explain why this was happening. She is now 21 and has holes in many of her teeth which are breaking off. We do not have dental insurance to cover the costs of care and a friend told me about the Dental Clinic Manager website.

My niece has headaches and jaw aches all the time. The holes on the front of her teeth are getting worse and are not located on the top of the tooth where you could place a dental filling. If she smiles, which is rare, you can easily see the holes. We are in desperate need of assistance.
