Emergency Wisdom Tooth Removal

My bottom right wisdom tooth has rotted away - there is a huge hole in it. I'm having a very hard time eating solid foods and it is getting harder to swallow. The whole top of the tooth has chipped away and now my gum is growing around it.

I've tried Oragel, temporary fillings, even sticking a tea bag on there to absorb the infection. Right now, I'm taking ibuprofen to take away some of the pain. I need to do something about real soon, because the Ibuprofen is messing up my stomach.

Extractions and Dentures

I am 62 years old. My teeth are falling out. I have 5 teeth left, 3 of which are crowned, the other two are rotten. I look terrible. I am very fearful of dentists.

I am on social security disability and cannot afford big bills. Maybe monthly installments I can swing. I have a bottom denture, but need to have all the uppers pulled and stubs from others pulled.

Cosmetic Dentistry

I have always wanted my teeth fixed, I have very crooked teeth and makes me very self conscious. I have black spots on my teeth and they hurt. Please can someone help me? I do not have much money which has stopped me from getting my teeth fixed. It is a dream of mine to do this and would be so very appreciated to anyone whom can help me. I am 40 yrs old and in very good health. Thank you.

Non Profit Seeks Dental Help for a Client

I work for Indianhead Community Action Agency(non-profit) in Spooner WI. I have a client in serious need of dental work. Unfortunately I was only able to help her with $500.00 worth of dental work.

She is in constant pain and her whole life has changed because of an accident. No one else seems to be able to help her without payment. She is considered low income and has nothing worth of value left in her life since this accident. She got the short end of the stick because of the statue of limitations of when the accident happened. I have exhausted all resources I can to help this women. If you can help in any way please contact me.

Thanks,

Teeth Are So Bad I Can't Even Smile

I'm 51 with teeth are so bad I can't even smile. I have almost no real useable teeth left - most are rotted or broken. I have one tooth on the bottom of my mouth that I chew with and it's chipped, so I'm chewing with my front teeth and now they're getting bad. I hate to smile because it's so embarrassing and no matter what - I have bad breath. I am unemployed and can't afford insurance. For most of my life, other things were more important than my teeth and health and now that all my kids are grown and gone, I'd like to have a smile again. I'm not really asking for a handout. I have a very small income and could use some help. I could pay, but it would be very long term. Thank you for your time.
