Dentures needed ASAP
Donation protected
Please help me be able to SMILE for the new year. Years of neglect and bad genetics, along with some horrible experiences with dentists in the past is what has put me in this situation. One of my front teeth broke off Thursday night and I have only one tooth left in the front. I need to have the rest of my top teeth pulled out to get dentures. It's really really embarrassing, it's hard to eat, smile, or even talk to people. and I have no money or insurance to have it done.
I do have a job but I'm laid off until March. Finding a winter job is nearly impossible with this issue. Interviews never go well when first impressions are shattered by my smile. I come from a bad family for teeth. My father and grandfather both had dentures before their 40th birthday, and I'm in my early 30s. I've checked around and most places charge around $80-$140 per tooth....and then a cheap set of dentures runs around $600. I have 13 left on the top, all are broken off or cracked in some way. I'm living in a constant hell. Eating with these teeth is just as painful as you'd imagine.
New teeth would open so many doors, professionally, personally, and in every other aspect of my life. I've never in my life taken a dollar of public assistance or asked for help like this, but I'm desperate and don't know where to turn. If I could find a way to get this done, it would truly be a life-changing event. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I know money is tight for everyone this time of year, but no amount is too small! Just a dollar or two makes a huge difference!
