All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth...no, really!! - Dental Health Message Board

Alright-y, so I was in a car accident when I was 14.

Lost both my front teeth. Been wearing some sort of retainer-ish prosthetic since then. If you know what that retainer thing is called please let me know. Problem....It always breaks and it's broken again, only this time I couldn't find them(yep, my teeth) after they fell out of my mouth. Now I have no teeth, not much money (I'm on disability), I'm going away in a week(ticket is booked) and I'm freaking out. I would like to know my options.

. What can I do, how much will it cost me and how long will it take.

Seriously, all and any ideas are so very welcome right now!!
Many, many thanks for everyone who reads this!

You probably had a partial so you need to see a dentist and have a new one made although I am not certain one can be made before your trip . Since money is an issue there aren't many other perm options other than a fixed or partial bridge. You may be able to find a dentist that has a lab in their office and can make some reaaly nice looking teeth - even if they are temps - in a day.
