Something as important as teeth should be covered by insurances. It should be treated as eye glasses or hearing aid that while you don't require them to live, your quality of life greatly diminishes without them.

Affordable health and dental care is unheard of here in the USA unless you are a member of congress. Unlike regular citizens , they have the best care even after they leave. Shame

@SepherStar 7 лет назад

They choose from the same federal health care plans that other federal workers have access to. A former senator could have the same health care plan as your mail carrier. Of course senators earn significantly more money and can afford the out of pocket expenses.

@kristilicea1472 7 лет назад

JuanCarlos C that's so true bad teeth can lead to many different heart diseases. Even if you have affordable insurance when you have teeth that break for no reason and a lot of infections you can't afford the out of pocket costs involved with fixing all of the problems. I'd say over the years I've spent about 30 thousand or more on my teeth but now that I'm permanently disabled I have no dental insurance and can't afford to buy a plan because I still have 2 young sons to raise. Luckily they have medicaid to cover their oral health but I worry about them having the same issues that I inherited from my father with their teeth. I already know that 1 of my grandkids inherited the same oral problems and to make matters worse my daughter doesn't stay on top of getting him to the dentist regularly

@Rivracost3 7 лет назад

I doubt the infection was caused by the fake dentures.. I mean her teeth clearly were corroding and falling out first so the problem existed before

@BrandiDandelion 7 лет назад

In all fairness the dentist didnt say it was the homemade dentures but that she wasnt fixing the underlying problem with her infection, 'the doctors' however clearly imply her cosmetic fix is a 'dangerous' when it really isnt.

@Rivracost3 7 лет назад

Brandi S Yes I wasn't really aiming that comment at any individual just saying I doubt the fake dentures are the problem. I feel like with teeth genetics plays a big role. I know some people that work really hard to take care of their teeth and still have problems while others are more careless and have great enamel and never get cavities.

while the home-made dentures werent the cause of her tooth problems, she DID say she swallowed a couple in her sleep... this is VERY dangerous. swallowing undigestible objects can cause a blockage in your intestine and kill you. and if she got them caught in her throat or breathed them accidentally while sleeping, she could suffocate.

If getting your teeth repaired/replaced wasn't so ungodly expensive, maybe people wouldn't go to such extreme measures like this woman had to! Forty-THOUSAND dollars to get her teeth fixed/replaced!!! How does ANY dentist, in their right mind, justify those kind of prices? Honestly... Even with materials and labor, how in the hell would it come out to $40,000 to repair her teeth, or put in bridges and/or implants? The dental industry, and yes- ITS AN INDUSTRY, in this country (America) is a freaking JOKE. Its no wonder people are willing to cross the border and go to Mexico to get the SAME EXACT WORK done, with the SAME EXACT MATERIALS, for a fraction of the cost! But it's PATHETIC that people even HAVE to do that just to afford dental work!!!!

@captainheinie6355 7 лет назад

Some 25years ago, My Wife took out a 5 year insurance policy for her teeth. Every once a year visit the Dentist, always turned out to be several weeks of treatment, many extractions later, and many other supposed problems with her teeth. After 5 years, time had come to renew the private insurance. we decided not to renew. We changed dentist, and went on the NHS .. 20 years on, with no private insurance, Only one visit per year, only lost one tooth. no other treatment. So much for private insurance. Greetings from the UK.

@Anonymous-nr6qb 7 лет назад

I somewhat agree, however I work for a dentist who is extremely reasonable. He does everything in his power to keep the costs as low as possible for his patients. he works out payment plans and discounts for all his patients. don't go to a big fancy practice e because all that nice equipment is being paid for by the patients. just because the practice doesn't look fancy doesn't mean it's going to be poor quality. The practice I am at is super old, but our concerns are our patients first and for most.

@clooper1960 7 лет назад

.... and the treatment plan will cost you? I can't afford dental care either... and my teeth are not good! I know how she feels. society as a whole belittles people with poor/unhealthy teeth but forgets the cost of dental visits. pricing puts the option out of the ball park for some of us.

You can afford a new toothbrush every 3 months, floss, and baking Soda. Brush 3 to 5 minutes twice a day, and swish with baking soda water 5 times per day. The most recent study is that people only brush for 40 to 48 seconds...ewwww and you wonder why teeth are bad!

@xoxJessicaxox94 7 лет назад

Lo Haben who has the time for baking soda water 5 times a day are you kidding. when your child has to go to school and you have to go to work you don't continue to stand there and be like wait I have 4 more minutes to brush my teeth...you get your ass moving.

@TheMartyFred 7 лет назад

It's so ironic, I've never seen your video. But for the last year, I've been using these same beads to fill in for a missing filling and one missing tooth. They blend well with my natural tooth color and no one ever notices! I'm very impressed to find someone else basically doing the same thing :-) kudos!!

@seafoxx777 7 лет назад

I lost almost all my teeth due to a disease that made me throw up very often (the bile completely ruined them and my overall weakened immunity didn't help) and my heart really goes out to this lady. Most of my teeth are veneers, so only some people can tell that they are fake and I can still eat relatively normally. I couldn't imagine having to make your own dentures, and then go on national TV and have to show everyone. I hope this lady gets the help she needs.

@SilenceIsGolden64 2 года назад

I feel her pain because I’m trying to deal with the issue of having no teeth nor dentures because of a monster of a dentist who totally F🤬 me over and kept my money right now at the same time. In June 2020, I took out a loan for dentures. I paid 3,500 for extractions and upper plate. My experience with that dentist was horrific. Each time I went back for adjustments they made it even worse, on top of them being soft-spoken condescending and belittling. I left there crying each time, so I wanted back at least half of my money back, but the only way I could even get anything back was to give back the dentures that I’d already paid for, and they only refunded 1,189 plus my broken heart, no teeth, weight loss (already slim), eating is waaaaaaaay too uncomfortable- so I dun eat like talking about. I hate looking in the mirror and now I deal with a financial setback, and depression. Thanks a lot Houston Dentures Express.

@ukeelady 7 лет назад

If working on ones teeth can cause a heart attack, then by rights dental is medical and should be included in any medical plan. Dentists are specialists similar to cardiologists, pediatrics etc.

@PuppyVtuber 7 лет назад

I absolutely agree. I think the only reason it's not included though is because sadly you'd have people abusing the system by not caring about their teeth at all, not brushing or flossing, then having huge "medical" bills because of their own negligence.

@jamesabarela 7 лет назад

I am a ripe old age of 30, and as a fellow toothless younger person. I can totally feel her pain, embarrassment and shame. I started losing teeth at 29. from then until now I have lost 10 teeth, and this is due to a long history of poor hygiene. I was in a terrible terrible state of bipolar depression and just didn't care to take care of myself, oral hygiene was the last of my worries. I was trying not to end my own life. And now I am paying the price with deteriorating teeth, teeth falling out or breaking off and constant severe pain due to infections in all of my existing teeth. I haven't dated in just as long and have isolated myself to my home all alone. I hope one day I can get a new smile, but this DIY is pretty awesome.

@jessicabennett7759 7 лет назад

James Barela finally, a story I can relate to. same thing for me. chronic depression and anxiety through the my 20s. I drank a lot and smoked and I'm sure that's the catalyst for my tooth lose. also the bulk of my work experience was and still is in unskilled minimum wage or slightly better paying so out of pocket for dental work was NOT an option. if it was feasible I could have gone to the dentist and they would have told me I had a bunch of cavities that I didn't see because they were between my molar teeth. didn't know how bad it really was till my teeth started to crumble. I'm starting to run out of molars. what makes most angry is the arrogance of the dentist's...like what do I mean I don't have $20,000 to fix my teeth. like that kind of money is really an option! well, you know, shit on me cause well I didn't take care of myself, right? my problem. sorry I had to rant.

@jessicabennett7759 7 лет назад

what also pisses me off is people asinine comments like "just save up" lol do you know how long it would take to save up that amount of money? by that time all me teeth will have sifted.

@kalinjax 8 лет назад

I am 32 years old and lost all of my teeth at age 26. I started out with dentures and now have implants. My teeth were never that great but I think what did them in was consuming too much sugar, lack of dental care and knowledge of proper hygiene. The bulk of the damage was accrued during my pregnancies. I have a channel here on RU-vid in which I share my journey from dentures to implants. Far more people are resorting to DIY fixes due to lack of quality, affordable care. It's sad, really.

@SepherStar 7 лет назад

I was in a similar situation as you when I was younger, though I managed to save my teeth in time. However they are discolored despite bleaching, and pitted and look bad even though they are healthy. Most dentists want to do veneers on me but at $1000 per tooth I don't have the money right now. Anyway you have a wonderful smile and if I saw you on the street, I wouldn't know you had implants, and would wish my smile was as nice as yours.

@ExposeClothing 7 лет назад

wow, im 26 any my teeth are well beyond repair in terms of damage. I dont do drugs although i do eat alot of sugar. I endured so much pain with my teeth i often considered taking my own life. The major damage took place during my pregnancy and since then they seemed to crumble away all within 4 years. I never leave the house, im so embaressed. I also have a disabled daughter so everyone assumes im a junkie and its really hurtful. I keep saying "i must be the only 25 year old who has to put their dentures in before they go out" but kind of glad to know im not the only one. I cant wait until i get implants, i will feel like i've been given a new life.

@bellesmom2012 7 лет назад

I do agree that people need to address the infection issues. That is a matter of life and death, infection that close to the brain can be deadly. The problem is that even WITH insurance dental bills can be just impossible. I admire her resourcefulness & crafting ability to make something that works and that she can afford is something to be admired not sneered at! That dentist should have lined her up with a job working in a dental lab! Good for her, she didn't sit on her butt & wait for someone to fix her problem & she didn't take money away from her children's needs but really sad that we live in a country where affordable dental is not available for someone that self sufficient. That is a really admirable trait & she should be proud of what she did to get by.

@lukemcclellan2905 7 лет назад

bellesmom2012 oh I completely agree! I have dental insurance but it only pays A SMALL PORTION of what you need. I lost a bridge after 14 years it fell out. I have few teeth remaining, and I would definitely make fake teeth if I could!!! I need upper dentures or a partial but can't even afford that. I keep putting my old bridge back in daily w denture adhesive. I can't eat w them, they're just for looks. But I can't eat or drink w them in bc food causes the adhesive to melt. They fell out when I was having dinner with a few friends. Humiliation!!! My confidence is shot but there is no money for proper dental care! Lots of people have this problem!! It's a real problem in the USA. I will probably order a snap on plastic plate and continue eating only soft foods. Yes if we could afford it we'd have the best but we can't. Tired of the judgment by people who don't understand.

@candydemon41 6 лет назад

luke mcclellan You just sound like a lazy person. There are plenty of programs to help people get dentures that are in low incomes. Maybe you should have took better care of your teeth! I understand I lost one tooth to a cyst that ate through my jaw bone and was life threatening because it could have went into my sinus cavity. I have had 4 oral surgies last year! Including 1 tooth removal, 1 cyst removal, last wisdom tooth surgically removed, 4 rounds of bone grafting, a sinus lift, post implant drilled into my new jaw bone, and a healing cap. Now I have my new doe silly made tooth. Due to all the bone grafts they had to put it off to the side and a special tooth had to be made. Also had a failed root canal and dentist appointment before that. I get it some people lose teeth to things that are out of their control however be responsible for things you can control!

Same. What's your teacher's name? Ask her if she'd be interested in offering these as 'custom novelty products' to interested people. Some have healthy teeth with wide gaps, or too much gum or too wide teeth. A lot would pay reasonable money for this alternative to a better smile. Tell her she can set up a separate email, speak with interested people, and see if this is some viable for her. Because it can be, and its dearly wanted.

I was a dental assistance for over 16 years. It is a damn shame dental treatment is so expensive. Even with dental insurance, the cost of dental care is outrageous. We As Americans need nationalized health care physical health and dental health is most important. Did you just hear this woman say the treatment she needed cost $ 40,000? Who in the hell has $40,000 to spend on their teeth? People we need nationalize Healthcare so all our physicals, and dental needs can be addressed.

@angelaschaefer5883 Год назад

Bless your heart... I know your struggle all too well, it's terribly unfortunate to have this issue - and it can feel all but hopeless at times. It's a bit scary to have your teeth start crumbling on you - then to not have the resources that are needed in order to fix it can be horribly depressing. And as if that wasn't bad enough - there's the whole embarrassment factor that is a daily struggle. I can't even remember the last time that I laughed - like truly laughed without using my hands to cover my mouth. :( I must say that stumbling onto this video - and then reading the many comments from those who are struggling with the same exact issues that you and I are - well, I'd hate to say that it was comforting - because it truly sucks that there are so many who are in this same boat. If you happen to read this comment - I would love to know how your results turn out!!! I wish you the best of luck - hang in there and take care of yourself!

It's just something you have to live with.

@iamtreasured 7 лет назад

Jeff Gogo I had the same issue. I was 27 when I had my son and through out my pregnancy my teeth were chipping and cracking. I found out at that time that my son whom was still in the whom had been taking alot of my calcium which caused my teeth to become brittle. Years went on and I was getting them repaired over and over again but they kept on chipping and even started to break. I too stopped smiling as much and didn't want to take photos, when I did I barely opened my mouth even though I had my teeth in the front but not to have any on the sides was just as bad. My husband didn't care and has always told me I am beautiful no matter what but to me I was not. Part of who I was seemed to be lost. Well I had gotten so fed up with not being able to go out the way I wanted to and smile the way I use to I saved enough money to get the partials I needed. 500 wasn't bad and I have been smiling ever since My self confidence is where is use to be and maybe even more!

@GOGOSLIFE 7 лет назад

I'm very happy that you have your old confident self back, and that you have someone who loves you no matter what(I'm lucky also). My mother got dentures when she was just 24 years old. She's 80 years old and to this day I've never seen her without her teeth in, so it's been hard on her self esteem. My 82 year old father only has a few teeth left. I guess soft teeth run in our family. Eventually I'll have them done, but for now it's not in the foreseeable future. Peace

@iamtreasured 7 лет назад

Jeff Gogo I will be keeping you in my prayers that a financial break through will happen and you will be able to get the work done.

Many Bless to you and your family.

Jeff Gogo I have a full upper denture now, but for over a year, I used a set of veneers made by a company called Imako. It's about 30 dollars and you fit them yourself. My teeth were in such bad shape that I only had 2 complete top teeth, and the veneer still worked Not only did they work, people actually complimented my smile while I was using it. Seriously, if you don't have the money for dental work, try them out. My self esteem got such a boost from them. Hope you get better!!

Pretty sad that reading all these comments and not one single solution has anyone found to help finance this dilemma. Very distressing that we live in a country that places such high value on physical appearances but there seems to be no solutions. And how do we common people in our modern age, keep up these appearances on today's wages? And what are we to do besides suffer? It's an abhorrent situation to say the least.

@tormentedtoy 7 лет назад

This hits home for me. I have had bad teeth since I was a little girl, that's why I have always disliked going to the dentist. Even after years of forcing myself to get my teeth cared for, I'm left with only a few of my teeth and several mismatched bridges or some dentists quick fix. I am left embarrassed and never wanting to smile. Unfortunately, there is no fix for me. When I do build up the courage to go to a dentist, they don't even look at my teeth they just say I need about $60,000 worth of work. I just leave and on it goes.

@SepherStar 7 лет назад

If you are in the US, there is hope for you! Find yourself a university with a dental school. They typically cost a fraction of the price of a regular dentist and often offer far more comprehensive services, and are up on the current technology. You can get a discounted price on full mouth implants. Students are supervised closely by dental instructors who are dentists, and because of the nature of the implant procedure, the person working on you will likely have already graduated and earned their DDS and is continuing their education to specialize in the procedure.

@tormentedtoy 7 лет назад

Thank you for that information. I have called everywhere in my area and beyond looking for something like that. I have not found any school around here that does more than just the basic fillings. I got up some courage and went in to see a DDS about a year ago. They said they could do one of these 3 in one implants where they would take out the teeth on the top and fit in this one big implant. I got really excited! They then sent in the financial person, it would have been between $20,000 and $29,000 just for the top teeth. When I got out to my car I just cried.

bloom4mee Well what do you want? Street dentists who charge next to nothing for questionable services?

@tormentedtoy 7 лет назад

If I added up all the money I have spent on my teeth the number is staggering. Its not that I don't take care of my teeth or that I don't go to the DDS. I have seriously crappy teeth. I have root canals in the teeth that are still in my mouth, the problem, so I have been told is that I clench my jaw and it cracks the root arch on these teeth. Next thing they are loose or falling out. I have pulled a few out on my own because once I hear them crack I know what's coming.

@blackbirdfpv1981 3 года назад

I feel your pain and go through it everyday. I cry inside everyday that the dentist I went to told me the only way to do is pull them and now I'm stuck with needing a bone implementation and implants which I will never be able to get. I'm 40 and I don't date I don't go out and it has changed my whole life. I used to be a fun outgoing person full of life and able to talk to anyone. I wish to God I didn't have natural teeth issues that created this and could get it done. I hope u get ur teeth all done and can give u back your life.

@kristilicea1472 7 лет назад

angeladq that's so true I was in a car accident and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. When the Dr came in to check my injuries out he wanted to look in my mouth I don't know what his reason for that was but I had some broken teeth. He asked me what happened with my teeth I'm sure he was assuming I was using drugs until I told him I was a single mother of 5 and my children always came first and he said oh OK just making sure that it didn't happen in the accident when I never said anything related to my mouth was injured. But I do know that dentists can tell when tooth decay is from drug use because it leaves spots on the back of the teeth I found that out from my daughters friend who was in a dental program

@papillonnoir255 7 лет назад

Jennifer Dernai-Garavaglia well I think if you look around on the website it has a place on how to measure your mouth or at least it used to. the sizes refer to the teeth . look at your teeth are they smallish? also take into consideration the width of your face maybe if your face is broad enough you can look quite nice in a large smile. sorry if it is more confusing. you can always call the company too.

@sugarkookies2369 7 лет назад

I appreciate your help! I will see if the site has more info for me. Are these pretty natural looking? I see so many companies that sell them but getting the one's that look natural is what I'm worried about. I'd hate to spend the money for one's that look like they're fake and in turn be out of that money.

stephanie Go to amazon, look up polycarbonate teeth (and the number(s) of the tooth you need). Cut the extremely durable teeth to fit where you need them to, then use the beads as the "gums" part to form to your mouth and attach the teeth to. My first set lasted for over a year, cost me $10.

@AsylumET 6 лет назад

Sounds roughly the same as my situation but a widowed father instead. The more I brush, the more they break :/ I also used the polymorph beads and while it worked to make me feel a little more comfortable around people, it hurt and I think overall, likely did more damage. I have since stopped using them but with that I also don't spend much time with people again. At this point I don't know what I will do but I'm hoping to find out when they have one of the dental clinics that come through every now and again and hopefully I can at least get whatever is clearly wrong taken care of before it makes me sick. Once that is done I'll make some actual dentures.

@LittleHello427 7 лет назад

Ikr, dentists can be mean! I had one tell me, with the nastiest attitude, that I was experiencing gum pain because I wasn't taking care of my teeth. A week later, I went to my orthodontist and he explained that my gum pain was because a piece from my braces had become loose and began scrubbing against my gums.

@s0nicfreak 7 лет назад

And also the dentist refuses to give you pain medicine because you must be a drug addict. And refuses to do anything your insurance won't pay 100% for because you aren't going to pay for anything yourself since again, you must be a drug addict. Story of my life even though my dental records show that my teeth have been this bad since I was a kid. If I were doing hard drugs for this long, I'd be dead by now!

@bequietkitty 7 лет назад

I feel your all's pain. I remember another time when a dentist stuck a hook down in an exposed root of mine and he actually expected me to just sit there and not react to the pain hr just caused. The pain shot through my lower jaw and I jerked. He yanked back and in the nastiest attitude he said to me, almost in a threatening manner, that if I did that if I jerk I could end up getting stabbed in the face with the sharp hook! And after my other tooth got finished getting filled, I was made to leave without even getting cleaned up. My blood was still in splatter patterns on my face and neck. I was still spitting out blood. I looked in the mirror in my car to see in my mouth and that's when I saw the dried up blood still speckled on my face! I never went back to him. I'm in hard times now and can't afford for even a dentist at a clinic. But I've been there about a year go to one at a clinic and they were nasty. The tools looked rusted. The chair and all furniture appliances were in bad shape. They had such bad/mean attitudes. Even when I was getting an assessment done, all I was hearing was huffing and grunting and saw a bunch of head shaking (as to say no). Then she would shrug her shoulders and doing her hands inbyhe air in a tantrum like way. Then tell me I need to get these $1200 treatments done first before I could get my tooth fixed because my teeth were about to fall out...? I was like ummmm no. I left in a horrible mood and a sore mouth. My tooth is still killing me. But after that performance they put on and the possible scam they are pulling on me, nope. I don't care if my teeth are "falling out" if they do, they do. But if a tooth is rooted or broke and causing pain, it should be pulled or fixed. But they wanted me to come in and pay $1000's of dollars first and still keep a very painful tooth in. If I has a $1000 to just give up like that, I'd rather give it to a real surgeon and have him take out the problem teeth and get it over with.

@Jacksty9 7 лет назад

Word of advice from someone who has dealt with constant decaying teeth, if you can afford it GO to your dentist for a clean every 6 months or at least once a year, this ensures all the tartar and build up will be removed that you may missed whilst brushing or flossing. Also communicate with your dentist, he/she will tell you where your tartar builds up and where you need to focus on cleaning.

I had a lot of cavities in my back teeth. Now that I'm an adult, the fillings that the dentist put in, have all fallen out. Ive taken very good care of my teeth as an adult but its too late. My back teeth have all broken off. I've had chronic infections..but I have 5 children and the finances aren't that great. I have really good insurance but even with insurance, they still want the money all up front before I could even have oral surgery. Its crazy how expensive it costs to get dental work 😥

Veneers and partial dentures cost over $1000 . people on cash aid or SSI need every dollars for bills,rent,food. so this bull shit about payment plan is a joke .If you want to make your own veneer or partial dentures . people should research the material dentist use and buy the stuff at a dental supply store.

@bharaththirividi7513 7 лет назад

it is not that easy to just go out side and buy and put tooth by yourself, if tooth are not placed correctly, it further causes you jaw problmes and create burden on other supporting and existing natural teeth. Moreover, do you put some chemical hands in your stomach or any other body part?? no because it cause infection. You can get treatments at lower costs with medicaid and insurance. There are payment plans too, where you can pay amount in very small amounts and can get dentures, but only disadvantage is you will get your dentures late.

You can only get Medicaid if you're at a certain income or below. My husband and I were in a hit & run accident causing my husband to be permanently disabled. He lost his job of 25 years and he's on SSDI. Because he gets a small pension with it (he didn't get full pension because he was short a few years on being able to retire on it) I can't get Medicaid. Can't afford to give up his pension of course and can't afford to pay the co-pays along with 20% of the dental work. I can't work because I was hurt in the accident also but because I spent 4 years of the last 10 in college and not working I can't draw my SSDI even though I have qualifying injuries. You have to have a certain amount of credits to get SSDI and they expired my credits before that 10 years.

Head in the Clouds, Yes, they do great things,, But, if you do the math, The price is way out of proportion.. I've had a root canal, My kids have had root canals.. I can tell you, The average price for a root canal is $1100 - $1300.. It takes 2-3 visit to complete a root canal. The first visit is 20 minutes in the chair, the rest are 10 minutes.. That's a GRAND TOTAL of less than *1 HOUR for $1200. dollars* .. How many People do you know that get paid $1,200 an hour ? That's just one example. There's plenty more.. Yes, it's great to stop the pain, but is $1,200 an hour right ? That's almost $10,000 a day for a Dentist 8 hour work day... Only in America, ! Other Countries are no where near that price.. If you need false teeth, It's even worse.. if you look at how teeth are made, and look how much they cost per tooth, You'll understand.. Here's a link to the real teeth they use for false teeth.. www.ebay.com/itm/3Set-84pcs-Acrylic-Resin-Denture-Teeth-VITA-Color-A3-Upper-Lower-Shade-Dental/282346920822?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 A set of dentures can and do cost $10,000.

At the age on 20, when my first child was only six months old, I had to get all of my top teeth removed. They were corroding and chipping off, no matter what I done. They were so bad, it was poisoning my blood stream and I stayed sick 24/7. Couldn't hardly eat anything without the excruciating sharp pain going through my entire body with every bite. I'm now 26 and still have no top teeth. I have two plates made by two different dentist and neither fit because my mouth is constantly shrinking. I couldn't begin to tell you what it's like. I'm currently pregnant with my third child and I have hardly any pictures with any of my children. I don't smile, I hardly talk in person, anything. It's a horrible thing to go through.

I just saved up for some partials the top is costing $1300 I'm getting the flexible one because a metal one cost $1700. I also have a plastic one for the bottom that cost me $1400.

Watching this made me cry because I know exactly what she's going through. Im going through the same thing. I'm 36 year old a mom of 3. With every pregnancy my teeth got weaker. No matter how much I brush, floss, use mouth wash they continue to deteriorate. I'm in a similar situation and actually found this video because I'm trying to find a way to make my own fake replacement teeth for the ones that are broken and missing. I'm a cosmetologist and makeup artist. Do you know how hard it is to be in this field when you start to have noticeably missing teeth? I too have not dated in over 3 years since my relationship with my kids father ended. My top aren't as noticeable yet as I'm missing most in the back and the one is noticeably missing on the right. My bottom though, you can tell when I talk that I'm missing quite a few. I have wanted to start a RU-vid channel for hair and makeup tutorials but I'm too embarrassed. Too afraid that people will notice I'm missing that bottom teeth. And people can be cruel, particularly online. So I have not done it. People always assume if you have bad or missing teeth that you are a drug addict or a scumbag, but that's not the case. Genetics play a huge role in the strength of your enamel, and even gum disease. Put those two together and then add in pregnancy and idc how great your dental hygiene is your teeth will deteriorate. I don't want to pull out all the teen I have and get full dentures at my age when I still have quite a few left but my minimal insurance won't cover flippers or bridge work. It basically covers cleanings, extractions, two x-rays a year and and one full set of dentures in your lifetime. At my age I'd never even be able to make one set last me the rest of my life anyway. I don't know what to do...

Dawn Wright I am so very very sorry. You deserve that beautiful smile. Since I am 50 now dentures are my only option.

@kathystokes4781 7 лет назад

u have to ask urself, when is enuff, enuff? just pull those few remaining teeth, get a valplast upper plate, comfortable, soft...dentists just want all the money, and continued dental work...they hate it when u say , just pull em, and no more probs. the secret to dentures, is get the soft type, and DO NOT TAKE THEM OUT AT NIGHT, wear them 24/7, remove for a min. to clean, pop bk in, ur gums wont shrink and u wont need relinings. dentists wont tell u this, except my pastors wife, lost all her teeth from gum disease in her 20s, her dentist told her to wear them 24/7. and she still has the same denture at age 85,

@beccam1007 7 лет назад

I have made my own full dentures a few times with acrylic. I have a Torus palatinus in the roof of my mouth that makes good suction impossible. Regular dentures will never ever work good for me so my only alternative is the all on 4 implants but I can't afford those so instead of paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars for dentures that will never work for me I just make my own to save as much money as I can. I can talk well with them but I can't eat well with them because of the poor suction caused by the Torus Palatinus.

I always took great care if my teeth and still have lost over half. Not a drug user. Don't drink or smoke. Teeth needs to be covered as regular health care. I'm going to message Trump on this!

Its up to the employer what the insurance will cover unless you're speaking of Medicade

@doesntmatter7788 7 лет назад

Like our dental insurance will cover surgery on my jaw( I have TMJ issues) but won't cover a mouth piece to correct it. My dentist said the surgery can actually make the problem worse on top of being very painful :( so it will cover thousands in surgery but not 1 thousand for a mouth piece😡

@THOMASTHESAILOR 7 лет назад

Bad teeth are bad for your overall health, they are constantly infected, weather you know it or not, lots of bacteria in a cavity. Every Health insurance should cover regular check ups and cleanings, just for basic health reasons. But NOOO !

@martymahem236 7 лет назад

If some dentist quoted her $40 thousand to make her some dentures she's either lying or that dentist is a major crook. Frankly, this whole story sounds like a complete farce.

@reallyaznokidding 7 лет назад

Señor Wences , I was quoted $40k in 1996. I couldn't afford it. That kind of dentistry does exists.

@agentj1326 6 лет назад

For extractions also

@angelaschaefer5883 Год назад

No sounds right to me. They probably were quoting both extractions and implants. Mine probably be more because I have bone loss. So dentures and extractions are it. Those dentures that I end up with. Won’t be made by dentist either. I don’t have between $500-$1000. So I will be ordering off Etsy instead. Doing the impression at home. Sending it back. For about $200 it will take me at least four to six months. Before I will have teeth. So I will be giving this A shot.

@kristilicea1472 7 лет назад

Unfortunately for some of us it doesn't matter how well we do all of that we inherited the genes from our parents. In my case my father my teeth started breaking when I was still a kid. Then as I had kids it got worse but I had really good insurance but even that didn't help me I've had so many oral surgeries to try to save my teeth to no avail I still lost my teeth. I finally got to a point where I had actually swallowed my thousand dollar crowns while eating that I just told them to pull out all my bottom teeth to get dentures during my final pregnancy. The dentist tried to tell me that they could be saved but it was way cheaper to just get dentures and not have to endure any more surgeries

@lyndza1989 7 лет назад

that doesnt do anything for gum disease though which can be hereditary..

@jennyjessup7517 6 лет назад

I'm 33 and had to have all my teeth extracted due to previous drug use. I have new teeth fixed to implants. $60,000 total. Worth it.

@robertanesmith172 7 лет назад

first of all, obamacare dont cover shit... u gotta spend like a thousand dollars a year deductible before they start to cover... who goes that often... and to u ppl who have dental coverage, u dont know what its oike to not have even decent teeth to be able to talk to ppl and laugh or smile or like she said, date... its embarrassing and not to mention painful... to the one who made the comment about diy for leukemia... if u didnt have i surance to go to the doctor, u would do whatever it took to try and save, prolong or be painfree as possible... i get so tired of the haves making fun of the dont haves becuz sometimes, IT IS NOT OUR FAULTS... THINGS GO WRONG AND U HAVE NO CLUE... STOP JUDGING THE DONT HAVES

Watching this gives me hope that I'm not the only one that avoids dating out of embarrassed for not only me teeth but extremely fast metabolism that makes it next to impossible to gain weight. I have walked away from possible dates just because I feel like they haven't noticed my teeth yet but when they do they will be grossed out. The crazy part is all of my front teeth are fine it's the others that cause me to stay quiet to about embarrassment

@maryjo6259 7 лет назад

@maggiemancilla6280 7 лет назад

I don't have insurance at all but I have a relative who is a dentist. I have to travel to Mexico City but I consider my self fortunate because I really save thousands and I'm comfortable with her. It's sooooo much cheaper over too!!! The downside is I sometimes really need to go asap but I have 3 kids in school so I have to wait a couple of months sometimes. But like I said I'm lucky. I know I would sometimes get depressed but as I started to see her my confidence grew. It's an awful thing to go through

@FriendOfJules 7 лет назад

You've never heard that before, really? Tons of people do this. Of course a dentist is going to be against it. Dentists are criminally expensive. There should be laws about this. They shouldn't get to charge so much. I call bullshit on the prices. I've bought supplies online, they are ripping us off.

@lisajohnson-cole2823 Год назад

I’m going through the same thing never did drugs I had beautiful teeth and now I keep myself secluded. I graduated from college changed my career but don’t feel comfortable due to loosing my teeth talking in front of people I’m so embarrassed. There should be some foundation that should be created for people who can’t afford to pay 40,000 for teeth. I cry daily because I miss my church working with the public going around family for over 5yrs.

shows the importance of proper nutrient supplementation, especially before, during and after pregnancy. For anyone who doesn't know, the baby is taking nutrients from you. Women/mothers most likely need more nutrients than they get from standard prenatal vitamins, because they're starting off deficient.
