Over the years, I've lost most of my teeth simply because I was never able to afford proper dental care. One by one, I had to watch my once beautiful smile completely fade away. People often ask why I never smile? Why? Because if I do, I feel like I would scare them away. I have dreams of having my smile back - being able to laugh again with family & friends and having the confidence to go on a job interview. It's so amazing what a simple smile can do.
I've been unemployed for a while now as a truck driver. I can barely afford a toothbrush, so the thought of having dental implants, the way I see it, can only be possible with a miracle.
I only have 4 top front & 6 bottom front teeth left. I do have a upper and lower partial, but they're so loose & bulky it feels like I have a shoe in my mouth. I feel like if I should sneeze in public they'll go flying across the room.
I need implants badly. When I eat, I put so much pressure on the few teeth that I have left. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they go. I'm a hard working guy, always had a job and taken care of my family, but right now, I could really use some help!
