That much to be covered by Medicaid? Holy cow! I don't have insurance at all, but his billing manager/wife said everything I "need" is cosmetic and insurance wouldn't cover it anyway. OK, so I need all these crowns to keep my other teeth from shifting and causing problems, but it's cosmetic?

I saw our newest bag lady last week. She walked in my driveway when I was unloading groceries and asked why I didn't have the leather chair with the cat-pee soaked cushion sitting on the curb any more. That was a couple of months ago that I put it out, and the neighbors promptly took it. Ewwwww. Anyway, she had like 4 remaining top front teeth. I don't want to become that. My self esteem is falling further and further because of this one missing tooth that makes me lisp more than I already did, and causes me to spray when I'm talking. I always look unapproachable because I won't smile, and I don't like to talk to new people because of the problems it's causing me.

That credit increase is looking really tempting.

I have a 3-tooth bridge to the left of my front tooth, and a single crown to the right of my other front tooth to replace improperly formed teeth. Those are 27 years old and are unattractive. I'd love to replace those too, but with a partial? I'd have two front teeth when I took the partial off. Actually, that might be comical. LOL
