I'm getting really sick of 62 I only have about 6 teeth left on my mouth and they're all breaking off up until 10 days ago always healthy now I feel really bad my mouth is so swollen and bed and I know it I don't think I can have anything done to me so I was just wondering do I just wait for more to all right out of my mouth. I'm on Medicare Medi-Cal was I JT I would like to get dentures if I could. I'm so embarrassed about my teeth there's none left and it just looks terrible in your mouth and your gums are really sore.

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Medicaid should pay for necessary dental services such as removal of infected teeth (which poses a risk to your health), and dentures. I don't know about Medicare. Check your coverage. Also, many towns offer low or no-cost dental clinics/services. Your local hospital might have some information about such services. You need to have something done for the sake of your health.
