I am no longer on those drugs but now I only have 6 teeth in my mouth.I am on a very limited income. I lost my home in 2010 along with any one I loved.I currently live in a one bedroom I rent for 500 a month.I have called clinics but I need an oral surgeon , No one will help me. I pray you can.

About Totto

My teeth are falling apart and extremely sensitive. The last time I could afford to have them cleaned (8 years ago) they had to give me novacaine in my entire mouth because my teeth were so sensitive.

My teeth are really yellow, brittle and now my top and bottom front teeth are chipping away and even more sensitive. I brush my teeth and floss twice a day but have no dental insurance. I am also unemployed and looking for work with bad teeth is a huge disadvantage. My teeth hurt all the time and I do not know where to turn for any dental care because it is so expensive.  P.S. I live in the middle Tennessee area and resources are very scarce here for free dental care. I have a friend who lives in Los Angeles and she gets total free or incredibly cheap (like $10 cost) healh and dental care out there. Wish TN. would be more like CA. in having medical resources for those who can't afford it.

    Feel free to participate in this public group space.

    Two easy ways to do this:

    1. Add a comment or a question here - on this page... or on any other page in this space.
    2. Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.

    Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.
