Case Description
I'm 31 years old and think I might need dentures already. My teeth are in pretty bad shape after not seeing a dentist on a regular basis for almost 15 years. I have panic and anxiety disorder that's kept me from working and keeps me indoors at times.

At one point I was taking prescription medication (Remeron) that made me get up at all hours of the night and eat until I passed out. This certainly didn't help my teeth.

As far as my teeth go, I have two broken teeth on the upper left. I am in a lot of pain right now. Some days are better than others. It'll be okay for a couple days and then the pain comes back again for a couple days.

I have two teeth on the upper right that have visible decay with holes on the sides of the teeth. I have an old root canal that needs to be pulled on the same side.

There are a couple teeth on the lower left with similar decay. One broken. I had a dentist do a pretty shoddy root canal He pretty much did the root canal without building the tooth up or building up the post. It basically looks like a half tooth with a filling in it.

I literally cry at the thought of dentures.

I need a lot of help. I don't have insurance. I don't have much in finances. I'm not looking for charity. Maybe just an extended payment plan.

I am going to school part time to study art so maybe we can trade art for dental services? My girlfriend is a wedding/portrait photographer, maybe we can trade her talent/service for dental work?

I appreciate any help. Steve

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
