My front dentures are weak but i can’t afford dental treatment, what do you advise?

Q.
Hi Sunita

Im a 22 year old female with a problem thats dragging me further and further downwards, my teeth.
I broke my front two when i was younger and through various negligence from dentists and my parents they were never sorted. I did have a cap on the front left one, but it broke and im now stuck with a denture with two teeth on as the whole was so big for one tooth to go back there, thats what the denture dentist told me. Now thed tooth next to it (the other broken one) is chipped,discolored and looks awful.
As i have never been able to eat using my front teeth, ive always had to use my back ones which has put extra strain on the,m, so there now starting to break away and cause me aggony. I hate the way they look and the restictions they are putting on my life. Ive been asked to do modeling but i will not put my self through the embarresment of the rejection agaisnt all those other girls. Im so down about this and i need help,
I live on my own, no financial help or anything, i do work though but all the prices i have been looking at are way more than i can even image paying, i dont know what to do anymore!!

Dear Enquirer,
What a shame that you are left suffering as a result of your teeth. It sounds like you need to have a really thorough examination and a treatment plan that will plan for the long term health and aesthetics of your teeth. Sometimes patients want us to treat only one or two teeth because of fear of costs, fear of the dentist etc, but this can be a false economy as I believe that good planning and execution of treatment not only gets rid of any decay/disease, but also strengthens teeth and makes them beautiful at the same time.
If you are working, then it is posible that you can visit a dentist who provide flexible payment plans that enable you to spread payments over an extended period.
I hope this helps,
Sunita
