Help $1 can make a difference

If I could just ask 36000 people to send me each one dollar ($1.00) then I could pay for the dental implants I need.
I am only 54 yrs old, I'm pretty but have major bad teeth, so send the dollar to 12050 Lucerne Trail, Lakeville MN. 55044

DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE

I am DESPERATE to have my smile back. I don't have dental insurance and because my teeth are missing I can't find a job. I lost all my teeth last year and only have 4 front bottom which is so embarrassing and difficult to eat. Mostly embarrassing because I have 4 daughters and I feel they are embarrassed of me. I have had dental problems all my life and paid so much through out the years to keep them but last year they just literally started falling out. I have cried so much because I feel hopeless because I have been to dentists to get an evaluation but I am looking at over $9,0000 for implants and thats if I even have any bone density left in my jaw. I WANT MY LIFE BACK! I use to work in HR and was going to school for nursing and now my life has come to a halt. I feel trapped and don't know where to turn. I don't want to die looking like this. I have no friends because I have isolated myself and my old friends I will not see them I have cut them out of my life because I don't want no one to see me like this. I know now by lookin on here that I am not the only one and I wish that the dentists would once a year pick someone to help for free but that is never going to happen. I am glad though that I can reach out to someone in my same or sort of same situation for support. I CRY OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR A MIRACLE!

Quality Dentures...Low Price

And a good Sunday Morning to all of my aidmates out there in aidpage land:--I just heard a little blip on tv about AFFORDABLE DENTURES..as most of you know that is where I got my dentures 2 years ago and have been a staunch supporter of ever since. Today they announced on tv that they were REDUCING their ECONOMY SETS of dentures fromm $350 down to $300 and that is for both top and bottom. The wonderful thing abut AFFORDABLE DENTURES is that you don't need an apppointment. Just show up at the door by opening time and you will more than likely have your NEW DENTURES by that afternoon. AFFORDABLE DENTURES also sells more expensive sets of dentures and they do implants as well. I will however tell you that implants are not cheap, they are around $1000 an implant and i believe that the bottom plates require 3 implants and the top plates require 2. However that is still hundreds off of what a regular Dentist charges shich is $1500 per implant and up. AFFORDABLE also does relines for around $100 and extractions for $50 to 75 a tooth including novacaine or gas. I highly reccomend AFFOREDABLE to anyone that can sae up a few hundred dollars or you can go in and talk to the dentist and he may work some kind of payment schedule for you. Now the cost of the drntures include a few extractions as well but if you have a mouthful of teeth that have to be removed the cost will be more of course. IN order to find out where the nearest AFFORDABLE DENTURES is located nearest you just call google AFFORDABLEDENTURES and give your state and one word of caution they are not in every town or city. In my state of Washington state there are only 2 offices , one in Spokane and one in the TRI Cities. People trave up to 600+ miles just to come to the office here in Spokane simpl becauseof the price and you leave with your teeth in your mouth. I sincerely hope this has helped so many out there that are having trouble getting dentures, and one more thing they DO NOT do fillings or any oral surgery as well. If you have anyother questions please just look for my name and the picture of the 50 Mercury. sincerely mamashe/sheshe

I have never written a letter like this in my life. In fact, I wouldn't be writing it now if desperation weren't a big factor for me.
     I pray you will, at the very least, read and acknowledge my letter.
     Owensboro is a town that large parts of it seem to die a little more everyday. The one thing it does have going for it are the colleges.
     I have lived here about a year, the reason I am here is for school. The whole year that I've been here I've been looking for work. There are no jobs here. I finally found a job two weeks ago, but the company I am working for is not in KY, it's in Portland, Oregon and I work for them virtually.
      I am so sorry to bother you with this request, I'm just so desperate. All my life the only thing I liked about myself, physically, was my smile.
     In the past year I have battled cancer and hopefully won, taken my GED & scored in the top eight percent of the country, started college and finished my first semester with a 3.75 GPA. I knew I was in dire need of dental work, but in KY there are no avenues to help you get the dental work done. I know, I've tried and tried. I am on the waiting list for Donated Dental Services and have been for several months.
     During the fall semester, which was my second, a tooth, under my bridge came out and my bridge will come out any day. The fillings in my two front teeth fell out and I've suffered an infection on and off for two months now. Sometimes the pain is unbearable. There was no resources for the kind of help I need and I can't stand the thought of being in public, looking as I do. I withdrew from college and I have barely left my apartment since the beginning of September. I have become more and more depressed as time has passed and more reclusive. I search everyday for help and there is none.
     Even though I have suffered great hardships all my life and I am all alone, I still participate in the random acts of kindness philosophy. And since I saw the movie Pay It Forward, knew that's the way I wanted to conduct my life. I am not trying to toot my own horn, I would just like to help you understand what kind of person I strive to be everyday.
    
     I realize you probably get dozens of letters like this and if you dismiss mine I will understand. But, if you do help me, you will be saving my life.
     Thank you so much for taking the time to read it.

I am attaching a photo of myself before I started having these very bad problems. I fought so hard to save my teeth, because almost everyone in my family has consistantly lost all their teeth by the age of thirty. I did not want that to happen and it didn't at thirty.

I am writing to anyway who might have information I am seeking. For years I have suffered because of dental issues. I now have partial dentures, but unfortunatly one tooth felt off and and cannot affort to replace the partial as the company I am working for only replaces after 10 yrs. I am in constant pain because the remaining tooth cannot hold the partial. I very desperate and need some help. I am not able to work full time because I have a disabled child who need my my attention all the times. The question I have for my fellow citizens is :- Is there any grant dedicated for dental issues or treatments? Can I get a dentist who might assist to do some implants as I have been suffering from day one since I wore partials. I am looking for that smile again

Hello, I'm a 43yr. old single man. I am disabled with heart and lung difficulty from having scollois and the major surgery when I was 16. I have worked two jobs (1 full time 1 part time) most of my life to support myself and live a nearly normal young life. When I was 37-38ish I caught phenmonia and altered my breathing for about 3 years then I got blood clots in my lungs at 40 after being layed off from work and unable to work my second job. I was told to move from Colorado my home state of 34 years that I loved and all my freinds where there. I moved to Nebraska to help my Mother recover from 2 very bad heart attacks and to help take care of my nephew who had just been turned over to his dad (my brother) after being abused by his mothers boyfriend. after being here for a couple years I and ending up on disability I later developed a popping in my jaw and pain with it. I seen a dentist and after some counsiling it was desided that it was better to have all my teeth pulled and have dentures. I did'nt have the best teeth in the world I thought a new smile would be nice. well unfourtunantly I cannot get past the gagging when my $1150.00 dentures touch the roof of my mouth. I've tryed every thing from cough syrup to numb my mouth to every goo or adhesive there is. the thing is nothing can touch the roof of my mouth or I gag and wont stop. I have these expencsive Dentures that have'nt been worn more then 5 mins. and tryed over and over . The dentist re-did them twice so they fit and told me he cant do any more for the money I paid. well that money was all I could get loaned from bank and that was 3+ years ago now. I have a small mouth from what all the dentist say and these dentures may not fit any more. SO here I am in Nebraska toothless and broke and medicare wont help. but I have these $1150.00 paper holders. I would guess I need new dentures and the tops with no roof and 4 minimum inplants to lock the dentures down. but would be up to doing what the dentist wanted to try.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I haven't had dental now for many many years. I'm on disability for several things, and I'm on medicare which does not cover dental. I have so much owed in medical bills and can't pay my mortgage anymore, so im just waiting for them to ask me to leave; however, the house has been for sale since december. I'm just aloss for words. I'm in so much pain and scared. I need dentures but would absolutely like to have implants because my gums are in such bad shape. Please Please Please Please Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have nothing to offer anyone....If you think you dont look good it really brings  you confidence down.........................i feel like im dying slowly

I am only 25 years old and have need of full dental implants. My insurance does not cover it, and my family struggles to get by paycheck to paycheck. I seem to have had an enamel calcification problem, which has simply caused my teeth to erode away. Many teeth in the front are practically non-existent. My two top teeth are half the size they should be. All my teeth have to come out. I can't even smile or talk without feeling very self-conscious.

I just found out that my mother needs 34,000 dollors of dental work.  That is a lot more then I earn in a year.  She had lost teeth due to the actions of an idividual.  As a result part her jaw bone has atrophied. The partials she had worn damaged her other teeth.  She needs to have a bone gragh done and is no longer a canidate for dentures.  She also needs impants to prevent further bone loss and crowns on the rest of her teeth. Medicare won't cover anything.  If they had covered proper and nessessary dental work years ago, she would not be in this fix. (By the way,what Medicare deams proper is some of the worst things that can be done to teeth! It only causes loss all the more faster.) Her only option it to lose all her her teeth and that will lead to atrophy of the face.  There is no help for this in the state of Utah. So many people abuse Medicare. The government also ends up footing the bill for illegal Immigrants medical cost.  60 BILLION dollors are lost and wasted because of fraud. Yet honest tax paying citizens cannot get help when they need it.  My mom was also a imigrant, a legal one!!!
