Dental care for disabled
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 5:38 am
I am writing you this letter to inform you of my situation and how desperate my dental needs are. As of June 2008 I was In a car accident which made me disable. I have not seen a dentist or had dental care within 4 to 5 years now. I need major work done on my whole mouth; with my front tooth on top I have been placing it back in myself for years now. The tooth has a fracture where I place back that crown and cap. Than I have a cap that the pin snapped inside my gum and has been stuck there for a few years now, I place the cap back with crazy glue since it happen because it is in front of my mouth on top also right next to my big tooth. I have cracked teeth and I know I am in need of implants, crowns, caps, root canals, permanent bridge, extractions etc.
I have gone for a few free consults and that’s how I know what I need. I have not smiled in years because of the way my teeth look, especially the front teeth. I have hid this from everyone including my boyfriend. My teeth are very important to me, I just do not have the funds/ coverage to fix the problems otherwise I would have had my teeth done already.
I have always been a good hearted person my whole life, I would go out of my way for anyone and have changed people for the better. I have a big heart and been through a lot in my life. I was the care giver for my 92 year old grandparents, when my grandmother became bed ridding and could not do anything for herself, I was the person to take on all responsibilities for them and worked at the same time
This year has been the worse with the loss of my little sister and then my mother recently. I was my mother’s medical proxy and she passed away of terminal cancer. I been having a lot of my own medical problem and need to see specialist but I have not been able to get to take any test/ referrals as I always put other people’s needs in front of my own.
I know I have very low income between SSI and SSDI I receive $810.00 a month and $760.00 is my rent, so there is not much left for anything, I have been very sick lately also and do not know what is going on with me but putting crazy glue on my tooth for years cant be good for me or replacing a crown in a fractured tooth either. These are front teeth and I know Medicaid don't pay for anything.
I have not taken care of my own medical needs as I put my problems aside for everyone else. But my teeth are very important to me and I know I need a lot of work, not just cleaning or fillings. I know I have a lot of other medical problems. I would be so grateful and happy to smile again and not live this way because I can't afford what I urgently need. hope you can find it in your heart to help me as I would be very appreciated to get something I’ve been waiting forever to get this done for years now. I have not asked for anything else in my life and I hope this one time I do, someone can find it in their heart to help me with his. I really need the dental help, I hope you can help me.
