I went through extreme traumatic events over a two and a half year period. During this time my teeth, like much of my health took a hit. I have at least 2 teeth with serious deep cavities. An immature canine rotted under a crown and fell out. A kind oral surgeon did an implant at no charge but I have been unable to find a dentist to attach a tooth to the post for next to nothing. I also lost a porcelain veneer on an upper central. It took me almost two years to find employment. I am the pride of my workplace and no doubt will be promoted faster than most. In the meanwhile, I am almost 60 years old, I rent a small room in a private home and have no family (anymore). How am I supposed to get my teeth fixed? Even with insurance, I cannot afford for a dentist to do anything but pull the bad teeth. At least now, I can chew with whatever remains of the teeth.
