15 Extractions and Dentures

by Sharon Borden
(Ontario, California)

I am a 55 year old woman that has never had a dental plan. Living on a tight budget, I just quit going to dentists. I would wait until a tooth got bad enough to be extracted. I have suffered more mouth pain than anyone in their right mind would. I have only 15 teeth left in my mouth, I can't chew anymore and just want them removed and replaced with dentures.

I haven't smiled in 20 years and at this age would like to enjoy the smiles I have left in my lifetime. I am willing to purchase a low cost dental plan to cover some of the cost, but this is all I can afford. If there is a Dentist in Ontario, California that could help me please let me know. Thank you.

The Poisoning Teeth

Fifteen teeth are rotting, gums are infected, unable to eat. causing frequent abscesses and headaches, severe toothaches,and inflamation. I can't kiss anyone or they get sick, and it's all affecting me mentally causing major depression since I am unable to smile, laugh or talk.

Unable to focus or perform simple every day duties due to pain. Unable to go outside due to weather conditions, cold, damp or heat intensifies the pain.

I want to be able to talk, laugh, smile, and kiss those I love. I want my 30th birthday to be a healthier year.

Help for TMJ

About 5 months ago, my jaw locked open and once released I've been in constant pain. I saw a dentist about the problem and they diagnosed me with TMJ. TMJ was brought on by my bite which caused my ligaments to become damaged, as well as my jaw being out of line. So, I can't open my mouth, yawn or eat right. This condition is causing me severe and constant headaches trying to hold my jaw in place. I have no money for a large down payment for treatment and no insurance. I can make small monthly or biweekly payments. I'm seriously in a bad way and need help. Thank you.

In Need of Implants/Mini-Implants

I am a 56-year-old female, disabled and on Medicare. I had to have two front upper teeth removed because of metal corrosion. One was dead and filled (with the filling falling out)and the other was a fake on a post that was done when I was 19, due to an accident that happened when I was 8. I may also have another filled tooth in back that should have the metal removed. My other teeth are in pretty good shape, but my gums are beginning to recede a bit. Since I'm unable to work and living on just my SSDI income, I can't afford dental costs. The teeth were pulled 3 years ago.

I have a problem with my teeth.

I had caps on the teeth that I am having problems with, these teeth have fallen out. I am having a problem eating because some of the teeth are in the front, not allowing me to bite off my food.

I Would Like Dental Implants

After years of obviously not caring for my teeth, I am paying the price.

My teeth are breaking at the gum line, (especially my top front teeth), and I am a student (and single Mom on Calworks) with no insurance. I am getting my education, but without looking right, I am so self-conscience.

My Daughter Needs Dental Care

My 16 yr. old daughter is in need of free dental care. Her father's insurance coverage covers very little of fillings, extractions, etc.

She has just got 2 root canals done and needs much more work done soon or will have to get them done again if too much decay occurs. She has a broken tooth and wisdom teeth that need to be pulled, along with 7 cavities. The insurance only covers consultations, cleaning and only a small portion of the work she needs.

I have a part-time job with no medical or dental.I am only able to come up with a small amount of the money needed for the next dental procedure, so they cancelled it until i can afford it. Now, I need outside help.

Partner Needs Dental Treatment

I am writing to you in behalf of my partner who needs dental treatment. She has always battled dental problems her entire life. Recently, she had her upper, front four teeth replaced with veneers and just broke one in half. She has also had several teeth that are capped, but they now need to be replaced or repaired due to the former dentist unaware of what she was doing.

We are a low income family and are in desperate need of dental care. She is in constant pain and needs help as soon as possible. Thank you for you time.

Tooth Grinder - Partial or Full Dentures Needed

About 3 years ago, a black thin line started developing across my upper front teeth. One day, I bit into a taco and it snapped one of the teeth off. From that point, I lost three other front teeth and others, mostly from grinding my teeth at night. I have had them fixed over and over again. While I still have bottom front teeth, I don't know how long they will last. I have no insurance and am 45 years old, yet look 60.

Serious Dental Issues

I have Lupus, so take lots of medications, including Prednisone. My medications have caused me to have serious dental issues, like having my teeth fall out. I am disabled, with a limited income and cannot afford to make high dental payments, yet I need to have lots of dental work done.

I live in Hacienda Heights and can find no dental place around her that is affordable for me. I need direction. It would be nice to chew again and have some teeth in both the front and the back parts of my mouth.
