I am and always have been poor. no insurance and low pay jobs. State and Feds don't help with dental unless your a kid or a mom on welfare. I am neither. So when a tooth goes bad it got pulled. Now I have a problem..I have only two back teeth on the bottom..one on each side. Come to find out that they are the only two teeth holding my bite. both teeth are exessivley rotted. When they are gone then What is going to happen, how will it feel? Will I bite myself constantly will I push my jaw out of alignment? anyone know? i picture one side going first and then it messing with the joints of my jaw. Will it? I have been brushing and flossing. My upper teeth are awsome and strong.

Check again and see for sure if you can get dental help if you are low income. Many states offer it for those who are uninsured and don't make much money. Search your state and low income dental online and see what all pops up. You could also look for any near Dental colleges.

Besides making eating very difficult if you lost the last bottom teeth nothing immediately dramatic should happen. I have someone close ot me who had all the tops out for oh 5ish years before getting the bottoms pulled out and being fitted for dentures.
