I am a 52 year old female that is living on $32.00 per day which is from the county for provided child care for my one year old grandson so that my daughter can go to school. I hope to get back into the work world in a few months when she has finished school but the way my teeth look I know that I do not have the confidence to go out there. I am not eligible for any kind of government help that I can find anyways and have no insurance of any kind. I have not been able to afford to go to a dentist for several years now and I am in danger of losing the few teeth that I have left. I do have a partial plate on the top, but the three teeth of my own that remain have crowns that are around 20 years old. The crowns are receding far from my gums and one of the clamps on my partial is broken off. I have five teeth left on the bottom, all in the front, so it makes it very difficult to chew and my bottom teeth are pushing my own top teeth out of position. I desperately need some kind of financial help so that I can get these fixed.
Does anyone out there know of any resources that may be available to me that I have not found? PLEASE. I do not want to be one of those old people living out of dumpsters because for some reason or another they cannot afford the necessities of life. I only have 10 or 15 good working years left if I am lucky, but I need to have my teeth fixed first. I am desperate. Anybody PLEASE!!!
Thank you for the time you took to read this.
