It's been 1yr.&6mos since I had all my teeth extracted. Also have the temp upper and lower dentures. My husband was laid off found a job 3mos later, took a loss in pay in order to get health ins. We have no dental at his new job. I have an extreme gag reflex..went back to my dentist to discuss horseshoe upper dentures etc.; before my husband was laid off. I am unemployed due to Meineres disease and had bone fusion back surgery Nov. 2007. I don't go anywhere, as I cant wear my dentures..finances have gone downhill for about 2yrs without me working and I had to apply for SSDI of which that will take time. I am asking to be a research volunteer to have full mouth dental implants. We have applied for a loan, but because our credit went downhill that is know longer an option for me, just to try to catch up with bills that are now behind we have sold some of our things, we don't go anywhere, we are just trying to survive the best we can..My husband understands I am very embarassed to go out to the drs without my teeth to get my medication for Depression..I won't even go for a ride with him..this is stressful to our marriage also... Please get back to me..I would like to be able to go out in public and socialize with my family members like a regular person again..my self esteem is at it's all time low.
