Getting My Teeth Fixed

After getting several teeth pulled over the last thirteen years and the remaining teeth slowly breaking away, I have started getting them fixed. I've gotten three done in the last year, spending a little over $6,000. I'm slowly working on saving money up to get the rest of them done as I don't want dentures at a young age. It's going to cost me another $18,000 to get all of my teeth completely done, but I can do them a tooth at a time if I need to. By getting my teeth taken care of I have noticed that my self esteem is getting better. Have you ever had to spend a lot of money on getting your teeth taken care of?

dental care is expensive. I've brought my friend to make the dentures after the doctor explains each type dentures and show I was surprised because the price is very expensive.

If he had taken proper care of his teeth throughout his life, he might not have needed dentures.

My sister and I have wonderful teeth, and we get that from our father's side of the family. Everyone in Dad's family has had wonderful teeth, for generations. We just take care of them in the normal way, and they are fine. My husband, however, had poor teeth, and had to get them all pulled, and dentures put in. Same with my mother.

My mom has good teeth but my dad doesn't. My mom has told me that I get my bad teeth from him. I've always taken excellent of my teeth, but they aren't that great.

I have a few cavities, but my husband likes to wait until I am in extreme pain before doing anything, and by then we pay a lot because it's too late for a filling, I need a root canal..I have had two root canals and he still doesn't get that if I don't get my other teeth filled, that is going to cost us even more.._

I have not but my son has never had his front baby teeth come out. It has been discovered that he will need implants in place of his 3 bottom teeth because there are not adult teeth underneath.
The total for all three will be $15,000, quite high but it must be done because he is so young to soon be permanently left without front bottom teeth.
