Hello, I am sooo embarrressed to discuss this, But i have to taslk to someone about it. My teeth are a disaster. We I was working, we had "dental insurance", bbut it was more of an hmo setup than anything. Now, I know we are suppose to take care of the only teeth we have, but i guess my phobia for dentists got worse as i aged...thinking that I'll get tto the root of the problem one day. My job paid descent wages, but at that time, I reapplyed to a new dentist near my home. i saved $ 1,000.00 to at least to sstart the cleaning process, and to repair a frontt tooth cap that decided to grow a mind of its own. It was growing upward, and my smile was forever gone. I talk to people for a living, but who will hire a mush mouth with a good sense of humor, while i can just imagine the horror on people's faces when they see me talk. I've trried all the tricks, keeping my mouth bearly open to talk, but at times the view is horryfing. Since my job is no longer available (I was a court researcher) my job left me go after 11 years of dedicated sevice. Now, all of are clients can go and do their own court opinions, except when the need certified copies of documents. I ffigure i can compete with document retrival services, but I would need to meet new prrospective clients, and the minute I open my month dollar ssihns fly away.
When i was growing up in the early sixties, my single mother (god rest her soul) never took me and my siblings to the dentist. I had some major work done in, after my daughter was born in 1980, at the USC Dental School. It was a recession going on, and my teeth were in dire need of work then. So, the county of Los Angeles invested in massive cleaning, fillings, and two beautiful front caps....the first one on my right side broke as I was eating a plum one day. At that moment, i was planning a trip down to Daytonia Beach for three weeks to work with this private investigator to locate missing heirs. Luckily, my girlfriend at the time paid the bill which was around $360.00. The left cap was still strong and beautiful 13 years of use. Now my dilema, after 29 years of faithful service, and the same of idiotic neglient. I haaave a smle of a gremlin, no money, depressed, diabetic, aand am in need of some guidence. Thank you for your time.
