Ok so this is the third time i've tried to respond to you, hopefully this one will make it through lol..... Thank you Starshine for responding and providing me with some information. Hopefully its a start in the right direction!! Glad to hear that your friend was able to get some help with her teeth. Its sad really that something so needed is so difficult to get. Thanks again for your help!!
I'm a 31 yr. old mother of 3 boys! . I have always had really soft teeth, by the time I was 14 I had 4 root canels, 1 extraction, and a bridge. After 4 yrs. of having an eating disorder, and 2 years ago having my third son, my teeth are completely falling apart and breaking off. I have many back teeth broken down to the gum and my front teeth are now breaking as well. The only tooth in my mouth at this point thats not broken is the bridge. It use to be that I could eat foods that weren't hard and didn't require alot of chewing, now even the softess foods not only hurts but are breaking my teeth more. This has caused the eating disorder to now come back.
Im starting to feel this taking a toll on my health. I'm exhausted daily, I'm constantly getting headaches and toothaches so bad that it hurts from my lower neck all the way to the temple of my brain. I'm scared to death that my teeth are going to be what kills me. I'm usually a very up beat happy person, I love to laugh & smile! Since my front teeth have fallen apart I don't leave my house, and haven't for months. I would give anything at this point to just be able to smile again, eat again, feel healthy again!! I was told by the dentist, that I'm going to have to have all my teath surgically extracted. The extractions alone without sedation is going to cost me over $7,000 and then another $3,000 for dentures (that also saddens me being 31). I don't have that kind of money. My husband makes $11.00 hr. and is the sole provider for our family of 5. We just make it month to month. My husband is also a man of many trades, from auto mechanics to home building and repair & would be more then willing to trade services to anybody willing to be the answer to our prayers!! My children deserve to have an active mother in their lives and because of this their not getting that. I don't want my children growing up being embarrassed of me. Please help bring hope back to our family!!
