I am a 34 year old single mother of two in the state fo Maine. Those of you who are from Maine, know of people from Maine, Etc, know that pay scales here are pretty lousy. Due to my second pregnancy my teeth became really brittle and all of my teeth upper and lower back teeth have broken around fillings and are now pretty much broken to the gumlines. I can't afford dental and what little money I do earn full time which is only $7.50 an hour it goes towards making sure my children have what they need which includes dental and medical. I can't afford to have the back teeth pulled out which they need and would like to replace them with something permanant. I can barely eat anything and smiling is so difficult because it's so embarrassing for me and I cry alot because I am single and want so much to get back into the dating scene and meet someone I can be with the rest of my life but Im too affraid. Who wants a woman who won't smile?? Or who wants a woman who does manage a smile have barely any teeth? My gums around my back teeth are really absessed and i have to literally drain them myself just to take the pressure of of them. YUCK! I want to find a better job but this problem with my teeth keeps me back from moving forward. I'm affraid to go to interviews because of my teeth. I'm in pain on a daily basis and go through tons of IB Profin etc. I lose alot of sleep over this and I am highly aggitated by the contant pain which pulsates through my jaw. Do to this problem my health has been terrible. I get headaches and jaw pain and so much more. Is there anyone out there who can give me back my confidence? My Smile? A chance at improving my social life (which is null)my health and feel confident enough to get out there and find a better job.
