33 and only have few teeth left!

[onemarilynfan]

Please someone help me. My teeth have been breaking and falling out for last few years, a dentist told me cuz I was nursed til I was 2 and got no fluoride I am willing to do anything for help, all I have is my income tax check (around 4 thousand) and able to pay like 20 a week. I am a waitress and could lose my job because of my failing appearance. I dont want to live anymore I feel like a disappointment to my children. My front tooth just broke in half the other day and I can no longer eat solid foods. I dont want anything for free, I JUST NEED HELP!!!!!!!PLEASE!

The other way to save money without sacrificing quality is go to your local dental school.  You are seen by students, but all of their work is triple checked by dentists, so you can be assured of quality care.

I do agree with lynn however, avoid the dental mills.  All they do is have premade dentures which will never fit correctly.  Find a small practice will only 1-2 dentists, they will offer you the best service.

most dentist accept payment plans or care credit. call around and explain your situation. call social service if you are low income. if you are having such a hard time dentures may be appropriate. try to avoid dental mills that advertise really cheap rates. everyone that i know that have tried these places have ended up in worse shape than when they went in. try local dentists that have an established practice. friends, family, and even customers will be able to recommend their dentists. dont give up hope! your family needs you!
