Need DENTURES (no insurance) PLEASE
Original plan got cancelled.
Unable to get regular dentures!
I have been referred to a prosthodontist & looking at metal "Lego" type plates to hold "special dentures" since I do not have enough bone in my jaw & mouth.
If each of my Facebook friends gave $1 or $2, I would be able to get some teeth. The clinic that was suppose to help me get dentures is no longer able to do that. The last 3 teeth were taken out in early October. I do not have dental insurance. I have always worked more than 1 job (1 in hospitals & 1 or 2 in retail). I have been HIV + since 1988. The older HIV meds from the 80's & 90's have caused bone loss (along with other side-effects) I started going "in & out" of hospitals in 2008 and finally got my SSI Disability in 2012. I have no other income & only have Medicare. NC says I make $10-$20 too much for Medicaid.
I was hoping to have teeth in time for Christmas. Thanks "Secret Santas" ! My mom used to tell me it really is "OK" to ask for help. It took me 50 years to be ok with it. I still can not believe I am putting all of this "out there" for everyone to know ...
Thank you again!
