This is my first time ever making a post. I never in my 42 years had any dental issues but the moment I lost my mom I lost myself and got so depressed and didn’t realize until I found myself in a very dark place. Years after that I was involved in a hit and run car accident and at that time I was only a passenger and my fiancé (ex now) dumped me and took insurance money…Since then my tooth has been breaking like never before and decaying but without insurance its been a long lonely hard road. I miss being happy and smiling besides eating food without judgment. I work as a CSR at a gas station and it hurts my soul that these people judge me and look at me like if I was a junkie and I never in my life used no type of drugs. Wish dental wasn’t so expensive and all. I’m so tired of all the stares whisper and dealing with horrible pain n infection. I try to see dentist but apparently no availability in my area and all they can do is place me on a call waitlist. Why do these healthcare people think its an luxury or cosmetic job to have teeth when we need that just like air to survive

Qué mal sistema de salud! En mi país te atienden
Silvana B. 😢😢😢
Silvana B. you are correct. Even if you have dental insurance it’s lousy for major work.
La salud es un derecho humano
Silvana B. I agree with you but this government system sadly doesn’t
Dental health is important to the human body. Bad teeth can make you sick.
That’s so sad to hear stay strong.😘
Janice S. Thank you am trying so hard because my scare is dying young because lack of eating 😢
I know exactly how you feel. My issue is not as apparent because I had health insurance at the time they first pulled all my uppers. So, my dentures got me through even though they didn’t correct for a horrible overbite. I now know all my lowers must be removed, but I dread it to the 10th, as they won’t be implants and I heard lower dentures are the most difficult of all. At 66, I’m hardly able to afford implants. I wish you the best young man. If there is a dental school near you see if they can put you on a special program. Very often the schools will offer an affordable option if you are willing to spend more time and allow a student to work on your teeth. Good luck, young man!!🥰💛💛🧡💚💚
Marki J. thank you n likewise
Btw am a young lady but much luv to you n god bless
Yep I lost some teeth due to stress (dark place) as well. I know it is because
Everytime I go through a stressful period my teeth decay even more. I’m trying not to stress and hope I find someone to help me. I hope you get the help you need as well.
TJ Tashiya. Pray that we both do 🙏🏼
I never did drugs either just FYI so I understand where you are coming from
TJ Tashiya I cry myself to help everyday because of fear of dying n not being around to see my kids get married or become parents themselves
It will get better. I will hold you in my prayers
TJ Tashiya Aww thank you 🙏🏼 so much for your positive thoughts
It’s very sad and my job dental insurance is straight bullshit. So I am doing everything in parts.
Freckle J. Exactly how am feeling bout my job insurance too
Hi sorry to hear this, I’ve had similar experience … Look into traveling abroad… UK and America are silly expensive. A few friends have been to Turkey and had fabulous work done at a quarter of UK prices.
Cris F. Wish I could afford missing out days or week of work n passport too
Gem Lee It will work out, have faith 🙏
I hope everything work out for you1❤
Freckle J. from your sweet beautiful soul too god hears n amazingly likewise 🙏🏼💛
My whole implant procedure was courtesy of Donald J. Trump’s booming economy in his 4 years as our President. Thank you so much, Donald J. Trump!
Judi W. Well great thing for you but not everyone got so lucky
Judi W. That’s going to help greatly! 👎
Judi W. This isn’t political site.
Linda M. My post wasn’t meant to be taken politically! I was just stating how I lucked into the cash to do my implants. I guess it’s all in how you take it!
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mom yrs ago that put you in that place .Maybe try setting small goals of saving ( I know its hard) and would dentures be an option for you instead of the more expensive implants?
Brian W. Thank you n I have been trying to save up every week has much has I can.. I take dentures over this pain etc
Google your state with the words dental grants. The state covers the necessary work.
Marcia W. This state won’t n if they do I don’t find such online
Have you tried a dental college. I know someone who has low or no income and got free dentures.
Joy G. Yes sadly wait-list is has reach its limits 😢
