ok well, i feel stupid doing this but i dont really know what else to do and anyway its worth a shot right? Im 23 getting ready to turn 24 and when i was little I had bacterial menigitis and the medication they had given to me supposedly did something to the enamel on my teeth buti dont know. So my problem is im literally spitting out chunks of teeth and ive tried going to the college to get in the dentel program they have there but there's a really long waiting list, and im afraid soon wel frankly im not going to have any teeth left to fix. Im a single mother and im not currently working because my mother just got over a bout with cancer and I had to quit my job to help take care of her. I have medicaid but they dont do anything except pull teeth if your over 21, and im to young to be walking around without my teeth. I dont know, its just really embarassing, you dont want to smile, you dont want to be kissed, you definitly dont want to laugh, and frankly it really brings down your self esteem especially being has young as I am. I dont really know what i expect for anyone to do but I just need some help of some kind. Any ideas? Anything I mean im at the point where I just dont care what it takes I dont want to live like this.. the problems that im having are abcesses constantly, cracked teeth, little nubs you know where the tooth has cracked and then got worn down over time and just a little hole there. my front teeth are decaying... ughh and i dont understand why , its not like i neglect them or anything. Any help is good help.
