I am a recovered methamphetamine user. My teeth were bad before I used meth but since then they have started cracking, breaking and falling out. I have nightmares about all my teeth falling out when I try to brush them. I don't smile or laugh unless I'm around true friends and even than I feel self conscience. My face is swollen today as I edit this page because I have an infection down in the nerves of my tooth. I need to find a dentist/clinic in TX (I live near Austin) who will do free or discounted services. I need all my teeth(whats left of them) removed and replaced with dentures. I have done internet research to try to find a dentist that does pro bono but cannot seem to find one. Donated services (TXDA) will only help you is you are over 65 or disabled. I can't get Medicaid. I have a very caring friend who has donated $500 dollars to my "dental fund" but thats not enough to even have all them extracted. I need 8 complex extractions(no tooth left above gumline , tooth is rotted below gumline, needs to be cut out) which are $110 per tooth, and 16 simple extractions which are $85 per tooth.(These are the cheapest rates I have found) I have found a place where I can get dentures for $375.
Complex 8 x 110= $880 Simple 16 x 85=$1360 Dentures $375 ----------------------------------- Total cost $2315 friends donation- $500 ---------------------------------- Amount needed $1815
