Q. I am 26 and my mouth is a mess. I was a meth addict for 10 years and it destroyed my teeth. Over half of my teeth are broken and down to the gum line exposing the root. There’s not one tooth in my mouth intact. I am in so much pain everyday and have been for 2-3 years. I am so ashamed i don’t have any confidence and am constantly reminding myself when around people even my husband to turn my head away or cover my mouth so they can’t see my teeth. After the birth of my 4th child i was diagnosed with CHF i have to take 5 different meds daily for life. My dr said me being so young the meds could strengthen my heart but unless i get these teeth out of my mouth i can’t get the full benefit of my meds. I also believe once a dentist sees my mouth he won’t want to bother because it’s going to be so much work to remove them i need to get this done ASAP my husbands insurance doesn’t kick in for 30 days Do u think an oral surgeon will go ahead and start on my mouth and accept payments or do i need to wait until insurance kicks in
