I Want a New Smile

I am 47 years old and a mother of 4. Over the years I have lost a lot of teeth. My mother and father have serious teeth issues and I guess I got that from them. I have no insurance. I have had dental work done in the past but they just keep breaking off. I want a NEW SMILE. I cover my mouth all the time when it comes to me smiling or keep my mouth shut. Can you help?

Dentures for Mom

In the past year and a half, I have lost teeth in front, I can hardly eat. I am 26 years old and not a drug addict, and my heart is broken that I cannot smile at my 1 & 2 year old sons. I am humiliated that when out in public with my husband, I have to talk through closed lips.

I feel that the appearance of my teeth has prevented me from receiving several much needed jobs. I am in a black depression over my teeth. Please help me find someone who will help me obtain much needed dentures. I am willing to do ANYTHING do get this help. Please keep me in mind.

Root Canal Therapy and Gum Problems

I am a 32 years old of German descent and, married with 2 children. We came to the USA in 2007, filing for asylum and still waiting for the decision. After almost 2 years, we have depleted our savings. We want no money from the Government as we did not come here to take from the USA.

I have massive problems with my teeth. I need a root canal treatment on 2 teeth. 1 tooth was damaged by a doctor in Germany breaking his dental instrument into my jaw (it still remains in the jaw). I have very little to no money to pay for dental care. I would like to seek treatment in a dental school clinic. The students can use the the practice and I really need the treatment. Kind Regards,

Emergency! Need Crowns & Root Canals

All of my teeth are breaking off! I'm a victim of severe flooding from hurricane Gustav & lost everything, including my child.

In addition to extreme stress, I have had bruxism (at night) for over 20 years that is getting worse because of the stress. I've also had accidents during my childhood which cracked all of my teeth.

I've already had two severely abscessed teeth removed. I am trying to save my upper six front teeth of which three require immediate work as one could break off any day!

Need to Complete Implant Work

I had an accident where my jaw was broken and left me with several broken teeth in my mouth. I have 2 implants placed on the right side of my bottom jaw. I need to get a few more to finish the restoration of my bottom teeth. I have had implants placed on the top of my mouth completed. I need the bottom completed to be able to smile and even talk. I have a few thousand dollars to finish the work. If I could get a dentist to give me a reduced rate, I would be willing to be used as an advertising means for the practice.

My body is becoming immune to the medications since i have be taking them around the clock and I'm feeling the pain even more. Someone please help me. I'm in extreme pain and every dentist wants to charge $250 on up to pull one molar tooth. Please help.

Need Care For Neglected Mouth

I know for a fact I have a LOT of work that needs to be done in my mouth. I need some root canals and fillings and a cleaning. I have been low and no income for a while. My husband brings home only enough to pay the current bills. I am trying to find a job, but we also have 3 children (they are covered by the state). 2 are in school but 1 is a toddler. When I go back to work, she will go to daycare. I will only work part time to keep the daycare costs down. Please help. I need this work done before I just wind up having to get dentures. I'm only 27!
