Need Advice RE: Bad Teeth
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi,
I've been gone from Sjogrens forums for a very long time. First reason is I found out my psycho decades long out of the picture ex has been stalking me online by googling sunkissed64 which is my nickname online since the internet started. You can imagine how aghast I was to know that he has been reading stuff about me he has no business reading. I wish this was a totally private forum that you needed to be a member of to see but google I guess is a loophole.
Getting back to why I'm posting. My teeth or lack thereof. I asked my dentist and he said it would cost like $40,000 to fix my mouth. I have many missing teeth and a lot of temps that keep coming out or breaking. I can't afford to get all the permanent crowns I need. I hate to smile anymore because my teeth are horrendous. I already barely look in the mirror because I'm heavier than I've ever been, my skin is weird looking, I've lost a ton of hair including having to pencil in eyebrows every day. I hate the mirror all the more now because of my monster teeth. So I work a lot and basically avoid my own reflection because I don't recognize the person looking back at me.
Have any of you had dental implants? It's super expensive and because of my dry mouth I'm worried that due to having Sjogrens I'll have issue with my gums or the bone under them and they won't work. I don't have that kind of mega bucks to throw away. The other thing I was thinking about is having a whole bunch of permanent crowns put in at least 12 at this rate..
Anyone been down this road? This is a forum that I've gotten a lot of comfort from and would like to hear opinions and personal experiences from those who might have gone down this road too. Anybody know if any of this could be covered under medical insurance since it's caused by a medical disease?
Would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
