I have a very dangerous situation going on right now that I know has to be affecting my health. It definitely has brought my self esteem way down to the point of never leaving my house unless I have to. I used to love being out and about meeting new people and finding new interests. It started with one abcess and 3 1/2 years later I now have 3 more including all the rest of my teeth that have decayed from not being able to pay for dental work. I have no insurance. I need extractions, root canal and implants which were estimated to be about 40,000.I have to come up with about 12,000. just to begin the treatment plan. I don't have any help from my family and am at a loss regarding what to do to start this serious dental work. The medicaid type of insurance has stopped for dental work, I can't take a loan because I need a cosigner. I don't "expect" help from anyone but seriously need help because I am at a great risk of damaging my heart and even dying. I am alone and scared. My life is wasting away.
