I have hit a streak of bad times. It is a long story short but I have been rich and poor and rich and poor again. This is where the problems for my teeth began again. You see when I had money I had extensive dental work done on my teeth. About $10.000 worth of porciline veneers and bridges. Then about six months later I was diognosed with Sarcoidosis and sjogrins desease's. They both have an effect on ones dental health. I have done eveything I can think of I have sold most everything I can just to keep going. I cannot work because of my illness. I am waiting to hear from SS disibility. Therfore I am on government assistance. However the insurance plan they assigned me to because I'm conssiderd cronic. Does not only pay for anything remotly close to cosmetic denistry. They say pull them and get false teeth. This just breaks my heart. And spirit. You see I have to have this medication called Remicade and it is given like a chemo drug at the hospital and I have to be infussed for two hours. That said.. This procedure cannot begin with an ongoing dental infection which is what I have. Antibiotics clears it up for a couple of weeks and then it's right back. I need to have a four tooth bridge reset on the top. And two crowns on the bottom to afix a partal to. I might actually have to replace the top four tooth bridge with a partal as well. That would be cheaper. I just cannot stomach the thought of having false teeth all over.
You see when I was doing well in life I gave back you know paid it forward And I gave with all of my heart. So I decided to see if there is anybody out there that would be willing to pay it forward for me this time.
