Help Wayne Smile Again

My name is Wayne. I am a single father of 4 children. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar-Depression, PTSD, Anxiety Disorder, and ADHD. I've worked since I was 15 years old and have been out of work for around 2 years (Medical Opinion of my Therapist is that I shouldn't work with how severe my symptoms are and can get if stressed). I got custody of my two sons a year ago, qualified for Food & Housing assistance.

I've gone over 10 years having problems with my teeth and I'm at a point where it's getting dire that I get them fixed. I have battled with accepting that I'll likely have to have denchers by the time I'm 40 years old. I was never a drug addict, by the way. I have weal enamel and it's hereditary. I am already missing 3 of my teeth, 2 on bottom and one up top. I have 3 more that are troublesome for me and affect my ability to eat certain foods that I used to enjoy (No crispy, crunchy food for me). One tooth about 1/3 of it broke off and I cut my tongue on it every now and then. One was a drill and fill that never got the drill or the fill. One has a hole in it that used to have a filling after a root canal some years back but the filling fell out.

I am desperate. I can't go another 10 years like this. The dental system in this country is so messed up, I can't even call to make an appointment with any dentists around because they either don't accept Medical Assistance or they aren't accepting any new patients. I find it incredibly disheartening that someone could call themselves a doctor of any sort and yet be picky about how they're paid, as if my insurance isn't good enough for them. My insurance won't even cover denchers completely and will require cash out of pocket to cover the rest.

It is already embarrassing enough to have my story like this go public and to admit I will have to have denchers by age 40 but I am suffering. I am usually a silent sufferer, too. I don't usually come out and ask for help unless it is dire and this is now dire enough to panhanle on the internet. You'd think if I could actually work for it and get it, I would, but in my condition, waiting 3-6 months before any benefits actually kick in is detrimental to my condition.

I am asking for help. I need to get my teeth fixed. I am not asking for the world, here. By all means, anything left over will likely be spent on a plate of fish and chips because I haven't been able to have that. I haven't been able to eat most things I enjoy for years now. If I had my choice of first meal after getting them fixed, hands down, fish and chips. I have been craving that for a decade.

Please, please, consider helping me towards my cause. I put off starting a page like this up because I didn't want everyone to know my story. I was afraid of the rhetoric and mean spirited people who would only take aim and hurt me with what I disclosed. It's at a point now where I don't even care. I am tired of putting lost filling putty in my teeth to fix the holes. I must have eaten a ton of containers of this stuff since all it takes is one bite to knock some loose and I don't know what happened to it other than I possibly ate it. It can't be too healthy, so please!!! Help me!! :(
