Hi ya'll, let me introduce myself, (if you don't already know me), I'm Jen, I am a mama to 6 amazing, beautiful babies, 3 of my own and 3 gifted to me through marriage. I have the most amazing husband. I help run the Meadow Mountain Cafe in Allenspark. For 9 years I suffered through extreme tooth/mouth pain due to my teeth weakening. My self esteem was in the gutter, I couldn't eat correctly, I couldn't smile, I had one infection after another, resulting in years of having a swollen, painful face, I was completely miserable. Not too long ago I was finally able to take the leap to getting my life back, with hard work and the help of a couple amazing people I spent a good deal of money getting a TON of teeth surgically removed and a partial denture. I was finally able to eat solid food, smile and feel confident about myself. I no longer had to cover my mouth to talk or smile. I wasn't in pain any more!!

Now I find myself back in the same situation, my partials were poorly made, so a couple teeth in the front of my partial have just fallen out. The teeth I have left are crumbling and have broken roots with infections. I can't eat solid foods again, because chewing causes my teeth to break further. The pain has set in again.

I was originally told that I would need to get full dentures, but at the time couldn't afford it. I was embarrassed and too prideful to ask for any more help. Now I'm facing the tremendous cost of removing the rest of my teeth and getting full dentures. I have gone to several dentists to get quotes. I have applied for medical credit and was denied. I simply cannot afford to get this done on my own. I'm heartbroken, embarrassed, and scared. I'm don't want to ask for help, I'm always the one to help others, but I can't go through years of not eating solid foods or smiling again. This is a nightmare, I am terrified to face this pain and embarrassment again.

I truly appreciate any help ya'll can give me. This is not a great time of the year for this, I completely understand. I'm sending all my love out to everyone, and wishing ya'll happy holidays! Any help would be deeply appreciated.
