Hey I admire your courage to fight for our country and I'm sorry you have to fight and worry about your teeth and the embarrassment that goes with it. I'm 25 and my teeth on the top are about gone almost all except a few in front on the bottom. I also didn't have some of my adult teeth 4 to 6 of them I was told. the dentist told me to try to keep the baby teeth but they aren't meant to stay in your mouth. Mine decayed and started infecting the rest. My wisdom teeth came through and things got even worse. I don't have the answers for my teeth problems but having someone who understands helps. Try affordable dentures they're the only place that's reasonable. And good things happen to good people who better than a soldier? We need to band together and get dentists to care about the people with dental problems instead of just the money they'll receive. Good Luck
