To whom it may concern: my name is Lee. 20 years ago i was in a horiable car accident that caused some teeth fractures and i am now paying for that! Issues i am having is over the years i had to have teeth removed because they decayed so fast, and would refracture. I have had exstensived dental work done, but my funds have ran out and i have lost alot of my teeth. I do not have a smile any longer due to the fact i have lost so many teeth. not only do i have teeth issues i have two bad hips and knees, back was broke in two places and pelvis in three. todays society you have to be in a wheel chair to get on disability in this country unless your a foriegner then you can get on disability right away. that is besides the point. to get back to the hand at issue, i have been to nurmerious doctors trying to get on disability and fighting for over two years for that. next step is hearing. what i am asking for is some leading help to find a way to get dentures in our country. I have searched and searched and have not found a way for help or support. Funny thing is our society today you can be on jury duty, as i have been this month. problem is i cannot sit for more than 30 minutes at a time. they get a little angry when you get up to walk around during a jury trial. What i am needing is help to find free dental care. doctors will not let me work, but the govenment will not put me on disability. strange how that works. Could someone please point me in the correct direction. I have tried to get county help but you have to have a dentist and three doctors in my area to say it is medically necessary to have the rest of your teeth pulled, and get dentures. I have one letter from a dentist. working on the doctors to get those letters as well.
Here is what is going on. I am 39 years old and have had multiple root canals, which have not worked, had a partial, that now does not work because the anchor points have shatteed or had to be removed. My gums bleed, and have tooth aches all the time. I get infected teeth very easily. I lost count how many times i have been on anitbiotics this year due to that. I know it is enough time that i now have an ulcer due to it. I cannot eat properly becuase i do not have two teeth that actually line up together. So i cannot enjoy a nice stake or eat corn on the cob, fruit, most of my food is soft or i have to cut it up so fine i just swallow it. Then i do not get the full benifit out of the food. So could someone please help me. I am in desire need of help with my dential issues and i am affraid i will actually die before that issues is taken care of. Could not get any worse than it already is. I have been laid up in a bed for so long that it has become a fixture to myself. do not take that wrong i am not over weight by any means, infact i have lost enough weight from not eating well i am actually getting spooked. I shoudl weigh around 185 lbs for my height and i am down to 125 lbs. I eat until my mouth begins to hurt or bleed then i stop. I am still hungry. Cannot indure the pain. I pray to god every day that someone will come up with a solution for me. So if their is any resources out their would someone please point me in the correct direction. I am in desire need of help. Thank you all for listening in advance. My god look upon you and your family every day of the week and keep them safe while your away from home, going to school or work?
