I will try to make this as short as possible. I am 20 years old. My teeth are decayed, broken and look aweful. I have not really smiled or laughed in over two years. It is a huge emotional burden for me. I stay home all the time, I dont associate with anyone anymore, and depression has really set in. I want a normal life, and feel that I can't. I have had several infections in the past year, pulling one tooth at a time, to stop the infection. I have seen several dentists and 2 oral surgeons, all accusing me of doing meth, which I dont, and has left me leaving thier offices in tears and sometimes even crying. I know that isnt the only thing that causes tooth decay. I finally found some state aid where they send me somewhere to have all the work done for free, so I make the appointment, set up a treatment plan before going. When I get there, I am told by the oral surgeon that for my next appointment, I will have all the extractions, then have to wait 6-8 weeks before having the dentures put in. He said that is absolutely the only way to do it, which I know is wrong. The oral surgeon I seen before that told me that I can have the impressions made before hand and have them put in the same day. So, I have made the decision to get the work done here, but have to pay for it out of my pocket, which will take years to pay off, but I am willing. Now, before making the appointment with the oral surgeon, I have to see talk with a dentist about making impressions for dentures, which I had done 6 weeks ago by the dentist he referred to me,&before finding that i qualified for state aid and all that. ( the reason i decided not to go for that was because it is a five hour drive, and i dont exactly feel like walking around with absolutely no teeth)Anyway, I called the dentist office where i had the impressions made, to tell them that i need to know how soon the dentures could be done. This is what I found out; they do not have on record that i had impressions made that day and want me to come in for another consultation and to make an impression. Since money is a big problem and this is the dentist that made me feel so aweful before, I hung up, frustrated. The only thing I am getting is the run-around. Does it really have to be this big of a hassle? Does it really need to be this hard. I am so frustrated. I'm glad I found this website. Is there anyone that could give my any kind of advice or support, anything? I am totaly alone in this and really could use some help. Thank You.
